	Mammoth Records > Squirrel Nut Zippers
		Like Guy, the Zippers conjure a musical past into a new living sound, mixing in a healthy dose of artistic invention with various strains of American music, ancient to the present.
		On one of those warm, happy nights, sparked by a favorable moon, liquor and chicken grease, the music and Katherine's desire to sing combined and co-mingled, and the Squirrel Nut Zippers were born.
		He was trying to divine a new Zippers sound, one that embraced all of the changes in the band, while harkening back to the simple inspirations of their past.

	Squirrel Nut Zippers
		Of all the bands on the current Retro Swing scene, the Squirrel Nut Zippers are by far the most successful and prominent; after extensive MTV exposure, their sophomore album, "Hot", went gold (having sold five hundred thousand copies or more) and is presently zoning in on the Platinum million mark.
		Squirrel Nut Zipper Tom Maxwell paints the sentimental old singers in the same ironic light that soloists receive: his vocal swoops and note bending on "Twilight" couldn't be less serious.
		Squirrel Nut Zippers employ the same technique; the opening of "St. Louis Cemetery Blues" includes violin, guitar, and bass clarinet creating an interlocking musical structure.

		Squirrel Nut Zippers came together with the greatest of ease.
		The Zippers played old-style jazz in the spirit of Fats Waller and Billie Holiday, but their nervous energy and jittery tempos betrayed their underground-rock pasts in Metal Flake Mother, Rubbermaid, What Peggy Wants and other local bands.
		The Zippers had a handshake agreement with the owner of the Massachusetts-based Squirrel Nut Zipper candy company to use the name.

	Amazon.com: Hot [ENHANCED CD]: Music: Squirrel Nut Zippers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		When North Carolina's Squirrel Nut Zippers scored an unlikely late '90s hit with "Hell" (from their Hot album), many cynics (and a few critics) thought the band was merely mocking the hot jazz stylings of the '20s and '30s.
		The Zippers have honed both their chops and their courage here, with subtle new influences from the 20th-century American musical pantry (a dash of country, a pinch of Spanish guitar, more Crescent City bump) tastefully simmered into the stew.
		The Squirrel Nut Zippers are vastly overlooked and underrated.

		There's talk of various SNZ band members appearing on singer Paula Cole's next album (her producer, Phil Ramone, is reportedly a big (SNZ) fan).

		Swing is back because it's amazing music, and the bands that crank out the stuff (although, if you want to argue it, the Squirrel Nut Zippers are more Charleston-oriented, but it's all in the same family) put on live shows that are almost unparalleled experiences.
		No more than two minutes later, the already deafening crowd got even louder as Squirrel Nut Zippers took to the stage again, this time accompanied by guest-violinist from their albums and the first band, Andrew Bird.
		The stage presence of these guys and gal was terrific, and their musical expertise makes the Squirrel Nut Zippers a band whose show you really don't ever want to miss.

		In the meantime, a few of the band members are releasing their own CDs, with fellow Zippers performing as guests.
		Zippers work, Whalen offers a much more consistent, if less ambitious take on a narrow field—small-combo jazz of the sort Billie Holiday was producing with Columbia in the 1930s and 40s.

	Live Review: Squirrel Nut Zippers / Colorifics, The Gate, February 15, 1997
		Keeping pace with the fashionable Colorifics before them, the six members of the Zippers were also dressed to the nines, retro suits and winged tipped shoes figuring highly.
		It struck me, though, that while the Colorifics appeared dressed for the stage, the Zippers were at ease in their duds, suggesting that they throw them on every day.
		Her presence and voice were so sublime that I felt convinced that on Judgement Day she'll be the person to welcome me to 'the other side.' Evoking the 'Hide and Seek' follies of the 1920's, Whalen is truly a deliciously offbeat performer.

		Katherine Whalen was one of the lead singers for the Squirrel Nut Zippers in the 90s and her singing has been compared to some of the great early jazz and torch singers.
		I used to be a huge fan of Squirrel Nut Zippers and the swing revival of a few years ago, and even though they broke up in the late 90's, I guess big bad government is unifying in weird ways nowadays.

		The band was founded by Jim "Jimbo" Mathus, formerly of Metalflake Mother and Johnny Vomit and The Dry Heaves, and his then-wife Katharine Whalen in Chapel Hill, North Carolina along with Ken Mosher, Don Raleigh and Chris Phillips.
		Their eponymous record is a continuation of the Zippers' musical direction though lacks any of the sales that the band was able to achieve [6].

		Their eponymous record is a continuation of the Zippers' musical direction; their version of Malvina Reynolds' "Little Boxes" will appear as a main title in an upcoming episode of Weeds on HBO.
		The Zippers survived the swing movement after all, as interest in their music has never really waned.

	Squirrel Nut Zippers
		The seed around which the Squirrel Nut Zippers grew was Jim Mathus, a rock musician who had fallen in love with the 1920's swing sound of Cab Calloway and Fats Waller.
		Many of the Zippers had day jobs when the recording was released, but the band quickly became a full time job.
		SNZ's first two releases, Inevitable (1995) and Hot (1996), are especial favorites of mine, and are featured in their own reviews.

		Other things I'm working on are video and audio clips of the Zippers as well as their previous bands, and a special fans-only CD which will feature some "rare" songs from live shows, as well as live favorites.
		The idea behind this site is that the Squirrel Nut Zippers are such a talented band that draws from all sorts of influences, and also have some of the most spectacular opening bands at their shows.
		But I have met the Zippers on several occasions and I can tell you that there is hardly a mean bone in any of their bodies.

		Going up against the highly anticipated Celine Dion album this winter are the Squirrel Nut Zippers with Christmas Caravan.
		The Zippers' album is pretty much what you'd come to expect from a Christmas album.
		In particular, "Gift of the Magi" reflects an old-country feel that is an interesting departure for the Zippers.

		Dec 8, 2005 : 7:13 pm ET -- Fans of the Squirrel Nut Zippers -- and anyone who enjoys an exuberantly eclectic mix of jazzy instrumentals, syncopated rhythms and smart lyrics -- will be able to find two new holiday gift possibilities at record stores and, yes, at U.S. post offices this holiday season.
		Tom Maxwell and Ken Mosher, founding members of the Zippers and the primary songwriters for the late lamented local group, have just released their new CD "Maxwell/Mosher." And the U.S. Post Office will distribute "Dear Santa," a holiday CD that ties in with a FOX special airing tonight at 8 p.m.
		Tom Maxwell and Ken Mosher are former members of the Squirrel Nut Zippers, the North Carolina group that became one of the biggest music stories of the 1990s in North Carolina.

		the sort of jazzy, bluesy stew that made the Zippers so cutting in the first place -- untrendy roots music that somehow got trendy again at the end of the 20th century.
		On their fourth album, Bedlam Ballroom, the Zippers have concocted another stew of lively dance music.
		Problem is, with so many people having jumped on the swing revival bandwagon, the group's new material sounds dated.
