The
Fabulous Swinging Chandeliers
These five near
Olympian musicians blast out non stop, hard-hitting Jump Swing
and Jive. With honking sax, Peddle Steel, Slapping Bass, dirty Grestch guitar and a drummer with sticks like tree trunks.

Sick
Note
A rare find in an era where retro is the

take full responsibility. |
