http://www.hotsardines.com "Dixieland has moved on up" -- The Wall Street Journal "A revelation" -- Bill Bragin, Lincoln Center "Consistently electrifying live" -- Popmatters Take a blustery brass lineup, layer it over a rhythm section led by a stride-piano virtuoso in the Fats Waller vein, and tie the whole thing together with a one-of-the-boys frontwoman whose vocals have been compared to Anita O'Day's, and you have the Hot Sardines. (We haven't even told you about the tap dancer yet.) In a short time, the Hot Sardines have gone from their first gig -- at a coffeeshop on the last Q train stop in Queens -- to selling out Joe's Pub three times in three months, headlining at Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night Swing (where they played to a crowd of 6000 on Bastille Day), and opening for the Bad Plus, Lulu Gainsbourg and French gypsy-jazz artist Zaz. Through it all they've become regulars at the Shanghai Mermaid speakeasy and turned The Standard, where they play regularly, into their own "saloon in the sky" (The Wall Street Journal) -- complete with tap dancing on the bar -- honing a live persona that's been called "unforgettably wild" and "consistently electrifying" (Popmatters). The Sardine sound -- wartime Paris via New Orleans, or the other way around -- is steeped in hot jazz, salty stride piano, and the kind of music Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt and Waller used to make: Straight-up, foot-stomping jazz. (Literally -- the band includes a tap dancer whose feet count as two members of the rhythm section). They manage to invoke the sounds of a near-century ago and stay resolutely in step with the current age. And while their roots run deep into jazz, that most American of genres, they're intertwined with French influences via their frontwoman, who was born and raised in Paris (and writes songs in both languages). The band was born when said Parisian ("Miz Elizabeth" Bougerol) met a stride piano player (bandleader Evan "Bibs" Palazzo) at a jam session they found on Craigslist. Above a noodle shop on Manhattan's 49th Street, they discovered a mutual love for songs from the 1920s, '30s and '40s that no-one really plays anymore. Or if they play them, "they handle them with kid gloves, like pieces in a museum," says Evan, underscoring a point the pair can't stress enough: "This music isn't historical artifact. It's a living, breathing, always-evolving thing." Members of the Sardines collective have worked with a genre-hopping roster that includes Rufus Wainwright, Sufjan Stevens, Lauren Ambrose, Sondre Lerche, Vetiver, Of Montreal, Nicholas Payton, Kurt Elling, Branford Marsalis, the New York and Jerusalem Philharmonics, Slavic Soul Party and the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra. "Everything's kind of being rewritten. And when nothing makes sense, there's something real and satisfying about going to hear raucous jazz played in a dancehall with wooden floors and brown liquor." -- Miz Elizabeth Download music or Buy our Album: http://hotsardines.com/media/#music Like us on Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/HotSardines Follow us on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/HotSardines Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/HotSardines
