Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

One of the casions in town is hosting an outdoor concert series this summer, and one of the first bands booked is Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Unfortunatley, it is a 21 or older show, in the end of June, and I don't turn 21 until the beginning of July.

Can anyone here describe to me what I will be missing out on?

Alcohol and a giant orgy.
Maybe no on the orgy. LOL

Like Squirrel Nut Zippers, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy revived big band music for the '90s. BBVD concentrated on the swinging days of the '40s and '50s, borrowing some of the Rat Pack lingo in addition to the zoot suits. Formed in Los Angeles in 1992, the group quickly built up a following by playing regularly on the local lounge circuit, playing to Gen-Xers enamored with the kitschy charm of the cocktail nation. This burgeoning lounge scene was captured in the hit 1996 indie comedy film Swingers, which featured a song by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy on the soundtrack. By the end of 1997, the band had self-released two albums -- Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Whatchu' Want for Christmas -- which were local hits and led to a major-label contract with Capitol Records. In February 1998, Capitol released the group's major-label debut, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, which was not the same album the group had previously released on their own. This Beautiful Life followed a year later. By the time the band came together for a follow-up, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy had sold over three million albums, performed at Super Bowl XXXIII with Stevie Wonder and Gloria Estefan, and had their music used in over 60 film and TV trailers. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy were unstoppable. Their fifth album Save My Soul was slated for a July 2003 release, five years after their Interscope debut. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Which casino? Gimmee some dates. I'm there!

Rubyee · 05-21-2004, 12:00 PM

I know WHO they are, and what they sound like, obviously. I want to know what they are like in concert.

According to my friend Adam, they put on a damn good show. I've never seen them live, though

mercury-hg · 05-21-2004, 05:29 PM

saw them at a free show maybe 6 years ago. they were decent, but i spent most of the time trying to avoid swing dancing with the girls i came with.

SpikeQX99 · 05-21-2004, 09:27 PM

They put on a good show, lots of get up and dance, just an overall fun vibe from them.

Should be a great show.

I like their first album a lot, their second was kind of dull. I bet they'd be fun to see, except i can't/don't dance, so that'd make it less fun.

Rubyee · 05-22-2004, 04:47 PM

That was what I was afraid of- that I would be missing out on something great.

Damn my parents for not getting horny one month earlier!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Band. I'll agree the first CD is better than the second.

They really fit in the movie Swingers

You'll miss an extremely high energy show. I don't dance and they were one of the most fun concerts I've ever seen.
