Two weeks after their song Jungle Jive was named Most Performed Jazz Work at the 2001 APRA Music Awards, AUSTRALIA’S SWINGINGEST BAND the Jive Bombers have won two more awards - this time for rock n roll! At this year’s Wintersun Rock n Roll Festival in Coolangatta on Queensland’s Gold Coast, the Jive Bombers were named Best Performing Band. In addition, their original composition J.B. Boogie was voted the Best CD Track on Sun 6, the official Wintersun compilation album for 2000. Both Jungle Jive and J.B. Boogie first appeared on the Jive Bombers Swing That Cat CD, together with three other originals and seven cover versions ranging in style from 40s swing to rockabilly, from 50s blues to contemporary jazz-funk and latin. Thanks to the band’s solid live following and extensive airplay on ABC radio, both regional and national, Swing That Cat has already sold out four pressings — an impressive feat for an independently produced album. The Jive Bombers are currently preparing material for a third album and cementing their reputation as Australia’s hottest dance band. Jazz or rock n roll, whatever it is the Jive Bombers play, these rockers are on a roll!
