SWANG THANG! is a high-energy Victoria, BC-based quintet serving up red-hot vintage Swing and deep-groove Blues with style, swagger, and soul.Rooted in vintage rhythms but never stuck in the past, their sound crackles with echoes of B.B. King, T-Bone Walker, Louis Jordan, and Muddy Waters - reimagined through a fresh, infectious lens that feels both timeless and electric.Beloved by Blues aficionados and first-time listeners alike, SWANG THANG! brings a contagious energy to every stage, delivering foot-tapping grooves, swinging rhythms, and unforgettable live performances that leave audiences buzzing long after the final note.
