Sounds Like
Captain Squeeze and the Zydeco Moshers plus influences
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 In Feb. of '96 there was born a sound from the basement of the least likely of places, the basement of a Cathedral Mardi Gras Party. The sound was spearheaded by a decades-former polka accordion player gone jazz keyboardist and was inspired by an introduction to zydeco by CJ Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band. Ten years later, averaging about seventy shows a year, having performed for thousands of people across the Northeast United States and with a 4th album in the works, Captain Squeeze and the Zydeco Moshers are a musical force to be reckoned with.
We're so cool, My Space doesn't even have Zydeco or Cajun as a genre choice!
