Tin-Pan Alley goofballs, Lil' fats and the Swingin' Hotshot Party rock like it's 1929

You know people in film footage from the 20's look kinda sped up a bit, all jerky and happy at the time? Well, Lil' Fats and the Boys seem to live (and perform) like they pre-date the "talkies." Essentially a jug band, these guys play Pre-war standards and retro-sounding originals that are laid-back and manic at the same time. Look for these guys at the Crystal Palace late night Sunday.
