About this Act
The Background Sounds play classic jazz tracks from the 1920s and 30s. Mashed up. Mixed up...then Sellotaped back together with unexpected modern melodies.
This Glasgow-based band of thoroughly disrespectful swing loving fools can't wait to come to a venue near you to celebrate all things swing.
It's the perfect music for lots of Lindy and Charleston, a bit of Blues, or even just plain good ol' fashioned booty shaking.
See you on the dance floor!
