Introduction
@ablaze has been doing 3 tune Tuesday for quite a while and we love the idea of it and some of the posts @stickupmusic has been doing it but I though I would join in too. it is a great way to listen to new music which is always something we want to do!
Our picks
This week we are all about a band that came on randomly at the weekend and we just fell in love with their energy and vibe! This band are the Squirrel Nut Zippers who after some research are an American Swing revival band. That have such great energy and vibe. You just know they are having fun and that really comes across. I also think in the modern world where music can be a little too perfect for our tastes they are rough round the edges with a vibe that you just won't here in modern pop music. I did not know I would like a 90's swing revival band so much but it has definitely bought something free and fresh to my ears and we hope you like it too!

Song 1
This was the song that got our attention. It has a great swing vibe too it. The brass and melodies are so fun. Even with the vocals you can hear that they are smiling when they sing! I think that goes for all the musicians in this band, they are definitely happy when they play together and you can hear it.
I think this is a live version
Song 2
The second song is "Hell" which has a great vibe and again you can see in the video they are enjoying themselves. The sense of freedom is tangible. Doing this post I am going deeper into their vibe and their video and they have some funny videos for sure. They are definitely going on my playlist!
Song 3
Now if this song does not make you happy and feel like there is a weight taken off your shoulders then I am not sure what well. The bouncing brass parts really move this tune along nicely. I mean when I hear this tune I just want to join in. Maybe by getting some pots and pans from the kitchen and playing some beats or something. I find it irresistible this music and hope that you do too!
We love all types of music and hope that you like our choices!
Big up all the music in the world and the joy we get making and listening to it!
