SWING! SWING! SWING! That's the slogan of Marina & The Kats
Hot grooves, enchanting melodies, wild guitars, brushes beating away at those drum heads - and the enticing voice of Marina who is about to do one of her fabulous scats with sublime ease. That's when fingers start to snip, eyes light up and people are about to whirl over the parquet.
