The Hot Sardines

American Jazz band The Hot Sardines perform their raucous live show as part of 'In the Round' at the Roundhouse.

Take a blustery brass front line, add a salty stride piano in the timeless
image of Fats Waller, a frontwoman with the attitude and style of a 30s
cabaret diva, and you have The Hot Sardines. And that’s not to mention
the tap dancer!

The Sardine sound is steeped in hot jazz and
gypsy swing for an infectious marriage of early-American jazz and French
culture. They’re sure to take the world by storm over the next few
years — their debut album was just named in iTunes ‘Best of Year’ list.
