The Hot Sardines – the mischief-makers of hot jazz who started out playing underground neo-speakeasies in Brooklyn, make their MMF debut in support of their newest live album Welcome Home, Bon Voyage. The eight-piece – seven, with a tap dancer – was founded by 2 leaders over a shared love of Fats Waller, at a jazz jam above a noodle shop in New York City. They have toured more than 250 cities in the past year, blowing out their vintage-on-steroids sound to crowds throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Not many bands have seized the postmillennial early-jazz spotlight with as much gusto as The Hot Sardines.” (WGBO radio)
