Royal Crown Revue - Walking Like Brando | Live in Sydney | Moshcam

Royal Crown Revue performing Walking Like Brando live at Metro Theatre in Sydney on 12 December 2009

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's musical style, however, transcends the pigeon-hole label that was given to them as a swing band (most noticeable in their rendition of Neil Diamond's "Solitary Man" and originals "The Contender" and "Walking Like Brando".) RCR has had great success on The Van's Warped Tour, touring with the B-52's and Pretenders, and appearances at the major US Jazz Festivals. The band recently filmed a special episode of "Gene Simmons Family Jewels", with Gene taking the reins, to appear in March. The band was founded by Eddie Nichols, Mando Dorame, out of a love of Rockabilly, Punk, Jazz, Blues, Soul, and other styles of roots music . The Stern brothers, Mark and Adam, who hailed from the punk band Youth Brigade rounded out the group early on. After repeatedly leaving RCR to tour with Youth Brigade, the Sterns were told to leave the band in the mid-90s and it is now headed by singer Eddie Nichols, tenor saxophonist/arranger/writer Mando Dorame, trumpeter Scott Steen, and drummer Daniel Glass. Stronger than ever, the band continues to play to capacity crowds in Australia, Europe, and the US.

Totally ... CLASSY. They are a cult band in Spain. We don´t have the tradition of hearing these amazins big bands, so for a lot of people it was a shock. Hey I´m a 50´s rocker, hard rock, glam punk ... And I love them! And a song about MARLON BRANDO .... I have been watchin MOUTINY IN THE BOUNTY endless times these lasts months .... Even get the books. The tahiti island, the paradise, the boat as a micrcosmos of socieety, the oligarchy, the power structure. The poor are hungry and beaten. The rich eat well, in nice rooms. Captain Bligh knows how to use fear, Fletcher Christian is rich, womanizer, funny, and humanitarian. And there´s gonna be a clash the 28 of April. The day I was born. Marlon Brando I missed you. Royal Crown Revue ... Keep yourself ALIVE!
