It definitely wasn’t a typical night at Mekka when Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the swing band featured in the movie “Swingers,” and opening act Wolfgang Parker, performed for a sold-out crowd of 1,000.Dressed in their best swing attire, adoring fans of the band flooded the dance floor and actually swing danced to the music at Mekka, 382 Dublin Ave., on Wednesday night.”I went to the Derby in L.A. They were the band performing on stage, and I knew that I had to have them come and perform in Columbus,” said Brett Mayo, the booking agent for Mekka. “They [Big Bad Voodoo Daddy] are the forefront of the whole swing movement, which is taking over the country.”The group took the stage around 10:15 p.m., and kept the audience swingin’ for about two hours, including an encore.”It’s an amazing feeling to see all those people diggin’ swing music,” said Kurt Sodergren, the drummer for Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. “It just blows us away!”Band members said they enjoyed playing the music as much as the audience enjoyed hearing it.”I’ve had friends tell me that I was smiling the whole time when we were performing and I didn’t even realize it,” Sodergren said. The other band members include saxophonist Karl Hunter, lead singer/guitarist Scotty Morris, trombonist Jeff Harris, trumpeter Glen Marhevka, baritone saxophonist Andy Rowley, pianist Josh Levy, and stand-up bassist Dirk Shoemaker. Sodergren said the band has been touring since their first album was released in 1994. “This is just the first trip we’ve made to the East coast and back,” he said.Ever since the band appeared in “Swingers,” their popularity has sky rocketed, Hunter said.”Almost the same day the movie came out, we had a line out the door of the Derby,” Hunter said. “It was amazing how much of an affect the movie had for us and swing music.”Although they have no current plans to appear in another movie, the band will be going back to Los Angeles to shoot a video for their song, “You & Me & the Bottle Make Three.” The group, whose self-titled CD has just been released, said they plan to keep touring and would like to play in Columbus again. “They approached me about playing again later this summer,” Mayo said. “Who am I to say no?”
