Swing dancers, fans of the vintage lifestyle, New Orleans music heads - "...this is that rare thing: a revivalist band that actually has contemporary relevance." (RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE.) Latest album STREAM or DOWNLOAD here: linkpagebuddy.com/page.php?id=74deOojn
Brighton band THE SWING NINJAS evolved from a walkabout busking trio via 3 self-released cover version albums, to their current fully-formed big band line-up of local jazz talent. A New Orleans influenced group whose first self-penned studio album of originals DO YA HALLELUJAH? (2015) showcased their quirky vision and on-point songwriting honed over many years working the streets, festivals and bars of Europe. Their new, 6th (!) album HONKY BARDO (2020) takes their swing sound a step further and adds the secret sauce of vintage Rhythm & Blues to the gumbo. The playing and musicianship is relaxed, understated and authentic as you'd expect after years honing their craft in front of live audiences.
On YouTube, you can hear and see the SWING NINJAS alongside other Brighton vintage scene faces like THE SPEAKEASY THREE on both WHEN I GET LOW I GET HIGH and the more recent MINNIE THE MOOCHER or on stage with the famous WHITE MINK club night.
