"as i wondered through a CD store, the LPN CD caught my eye and i bought it! i LOVE LPN! i love their unique style and all those groovy songs they re-did, like Pennies From Heaven, Hot For Teacher, etc. i'm buying their new CD, Swing is Dead, as soon as possible. my advice, if you don't already own this CD, go BUY IT! :)"
Don't be a jazz-prude...get up and dance!

"I've seen the band live, even promoted one of their shows, and let me tell ya, they know that there are mistakes on this record. SO WHAT! If you're a headphones and easy-chair listener, this CD is not for you. Like any live recording, it is not about perfection, it's about energy. I play this CD every week in my DJ gig, and no matter what song I play, everyone get's up and dances. If you want to hear Benny Goodman, buy a Benny Goodman CD. If you want the most volatile jump-swing asylum break ever heard, buy this NOW!"
I was scared, but I liked it.

"I bought this CD at Hot Topics of all places cause a friend recomended it. I wasn't sure what to make of it cause after all what kind of swing CD would they sell at Hot Topics, then when I listened to it I thought it was great. They get the crowd working, and the energy is pumping, and I just can't get enough, especially of their version of Sing, Sing, Sing. I heard it and was blown away. It is just so good."
Swing this

"I had never heard of LPN before a friend played this CD for me. I have heard lots of live CDs from all sorts of bands, and none have had the energy and style that this has. LPN is not your ordinary swing band. They cover classic swing tunes like "Pennies from Heaven" and "Sing Sing Sing", and they make swing versions of songs like They Might Be Giant's "Istanbul" and Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher". They also have original songs like "Mississippi Darling" and "Big Pants Dance". LPN is fun, energetic, and absolutely one of a kind. Don't miss out on this."
