Cherry Poppin' Daddies

Cherry Poppin' Daddies is an American band formed in 1989 in Eugene, Oregon. They consider their style to be a mixture of swing, ska, and rock, but are more popularly known for their part in the swing revival of the late 1990s and their first nationally released album Zoot Suit Riot, featuring the title song, their first (and only) hit single. They are also widely known for the lead singer Steve Perry's Cab Calloway-like onstage dancing among their loyal, Eugene-based cult following.

[edit] History

At one point in 1997-98, the Daddies were on the brink of major stardom with the above mentioned single and its equally popular music video, but their popularity fizzled out along with that of the Swing Revival, which Perry blamed on record company mismanagement in the press. They are considered a one hit wonder.

Following Soul Caddy, the Daddies endured a period of inactivity while Steve Perry worked on his degree in molecular biology and worked on his glam-rock side project, White Hot Odyssey. During this period of inactivity, the band's official website had not seen a single update, and the official message board remained all but dead.

In late April 2006, the stagnant site was removed and replaced with a revamped design, promising "the Daddies Web site is going to be new and current. Stay tuned as we build a new bulletin board and update all the rest of the site." The incomplete site does contain up-to-date tour information. The redesign occurred just weeks after a Steve Perry radio interview with 1160 AM's Backstage Atlanta host Bryce Maxim revealed a new studio album is in the works. Perry calls the new album his "tropical album, even though it really doesn't sound tropical." He states that the album covers some new territory for the Daddies, drawing on Latin, tropical and reggae sounds, though it will contain a few swing tracks as well. <ref name="BackstageAtlanta2006">Maxim, Bryce (Apr. 8, 2006).

Until the new official site is fully functional you can find the most current information at the band's MySpace page. The only still thriving online forum for the Daddies is the appropriately named "Cherry Poppin' Daddies Resurrection Forum." The forum features a video section, making it one of the few websites still featuring working files of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies live performances.
