Flight 180
Lineup
Reviewed by A Girl Called Gordon
Attention all "swingers!" This album should be in your player at all times! Flight 180 (formerly 180) has proved themselves the pinnacle of swing music. With 6 guys, 2 girls, you'd think it was a ska band. Not a chance. These cool cats and chicks pay homage to some pretty hip people: Brian Setzer ("Look at That Cadillac"), The W's ("The Devil is Bad"), and a bunch of wacky monkeys ("I Wanna Be Like You"). Don't worry this is not another album of covers, there are plenty of fun Flight 180 style songs. Lineup contains 11 songs that are full of good, clean fun and a little laughter on the side. Maddy Mendoza and Kimmy Tennberg have the sweetest, harmonious 40's-style voices the 90's have to offer. Backed up by your typical 6 talented guys who are too hip to be afraid to dance, swing, and sing, the songs of Flight 180 keep me bouncing in my seat and receiving strange looks from the others in the office. I am sure that you will get the same reaction!
