The Royal Crown Revue (RCR) is a band formed in 1989 in Los Angeles, California. They are often credited with starting the Swing Revival movement. The band also filmed an episode of "Gene Simmons Family Jewels", which aired in March 2010. The band was founded by Mark Stern, Eddie Nichols and Mando Dorame out of their love of Rockabilly, Punk, Jazz, Blues, Soul and other styles of roots music. Two of Stern's siblings, Jamie and Adam rounded out the group (Mark, Adam and another brother Shawn were members of the punk band Youth Brigade). After releasing their first album on BYO Records, the band signed with Warner Bros. and parted ways with the Stern brothers.〔Let Them Know The Story Of Youth Brigade and BYO Records, Byo records 2009〕 Currently, RCR's lineup consists of singer Eddie Nichols, tenor saxophonist/arranger/writer Mando Dorame, and drummer Daniel Glass. The band continues to play to capacity crowds in Australia, Europe and the US. After filming ''The Mask'', RCR began a residency at the landmark Los Angeles club, The Derby, which gained worldwide recognition due, in large part, to the location's inclusion in the hit film ''Swingers''. Although the band's music was an instrumental part of The Derby's swing scene, a conflict in their Warner Brothers contract prevented Royal Crown Revue from appearing in the movie. The RCR Horn section backed Bette Midler on her top-grossing 2003-2004 Kiss My Brass tour. Trumpeter Scott Steen was Bette's featured soloist. 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. == Current band members == *Eddie Nichols - Vocals *Jennifer Keith - Vocals *Mando Dorame - Tenor sax *Daniel Glass - Drums *Mark Cally - Guitar *Jim Jedeikin - Baritone/Alto sax *Dave Miller - Bass *Lee Thornburg - Trumpet (alternate) *Mark Pinder - Trumpet (alternate) *(Jim Honeyman is credited as the Baritone/Alto Sax on the Live at The Corner Hotel Album) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal Crown Revue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
