Porkpie plays spirited, with enthusiasm and like they're having fun with it. Throwing in a novelty tune like "Hey Pete" just has to help the image. Their music book has some great stuff obviously. You can't go wrong with the Basie charts for sure. Their album is a must have in my collection. - Tim "Java Man" Taylor

"You and your band were the highlight of my weekend! I walked into that place and instantly felt at home. My grandparents were both professional musicians, and I grew up singing and playing big band music. I can't wait to see you play again."
-- Shel "Charlie Girl" Bailey, Marketing/Promotion director, 97.1 Charlie FM

Pete and Band...I love your CD!!
Swing group, you've gotta get this one! I have listened to it many times and played it for friends who were amazed this great music was live here in town for our dancing pleasure !
Great selection of songs, incredible musicianship. I'm looking forward to many more from you.
cheers

"Porkpie" gave what I believe was the best performance of swing music I've heard in this town in a long time.
Thanks guys. It was a hellava party.

No doubt - after last night they're EASILY my favorite band in the northwest. The amount of energy they put into that room was incredible. I've just never heard a band that good playing so many classic swing tunes..

Now that I finally got myself to a computer. All I have to say is OMG! I don't claim to know much about music but these guys were by far the best band I've heard at the Viscount ever (and actually with a few exceptions anywhere else). I just wanted to DANCE.
