What is Royal Crown Revue?

Information about Royal Crown Revue

The Royal Crown Revue is a band formed in 1989 in Los Angeles, California. They play modern swing music and are credited with starting the Swing Revival movement.[1][2] The band was founded by Eddie Nichols, Mando Dorame, and the Stern brothers, Mark, Adam and Jamie, from the remains of their earlier punk band Youth Brigade. After repeatedly leaving RCR to tour with Youth Brigade, the Sterns were told to leave the band in the mid-90s and it is now headed by singer Eddie Nichols, tenor saxophonist/arranger/writer Mando Dorame, trumpeter Scott Steen, and drummer Daniel Glass. The band continues to tour Australia, Europe, and the US with great success.

Tha band began playing regularly at The Derby, a swing club in LA in 1993.[3]

The RCR Horn section backed Bette Midler on her 2004 U.S. tour.

RCR made numerous film, television, radio and print appearances, including The Mask, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Viva Variety, The Today Show and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In 1998 the group appeared at the Playboy Jazz Festival, recorded and performed live with Bette Midler at the Billboard Music Awards and composed the original theme for the WB Network's 1999 television season.
