This band is a curious mix of musicians from different backgrounds to create an exciting mix of swing and dance music. The Pearly Shells can often be seen at The Nightcat (Melbourne) whooping it up for all the dancers - this band can swing! A ten piece outfit that relies on the musicians to make up riffs on-the-spot (a la Basie).
