Swingin’ Thing Captures Viper Room Energy in New “Underground” Music Video
Los Angeles rockers Swingin’ Thing have released a video for one of their biggest hits, “Underground.” The video features footage from the band’s recent show at the Viper Room on June 1st.
The performance was part of the annual Blackboard Jungle reunion show, where several bands from the 90s Sunset Strip scene gather to play together. In addition to Swingin’ Thing and Blackboard Jungle, the lineup also included the newly re-formed legendary Sunset Strip rockers Glamour Punks, Blacklist Union, and Maxximus.
