Like a punk band ripping into pop chestnuts, they’re faster, brighter, sprightlier and livelier than the originals, which is saying something when it comes to Django.”- Offbeat MagazineThe New Orleans Swinging G’s embody the spirit of the classic swing era, evolving swing music into a form of futuristic punk rock; calling it “post modern New Orleans swing”.There is no doubt, this fiery bunch has a strong voice in both New Orleans and San Diego.
