Play 40s swing, 50s rock n roll, latin, lounge, soul, disco. Composers of Australia's most popular swing single "Jungle Jive" (APRA 2001). Also 2001 Wintersun awards. Have performed at most Oz music festivals and hundreds of functions & corporate events. Have Sydney's largest dance following.

Over the past 20 years the Jive Bombers have established themselves as Australia's leading dance band. Having won major awards for both jazz and rock n roll. The band has a large and loyal following of dancers and dance teachers; one of our original tracks "JB Boogie" has even had a dance created for it. However, gaining the praise of Frankie Manning, one of the worlds' greatest dance innovators, was very special.

The strength of this band comes from the experience and quality of its members. Musicians working with the Jive Bombers have performed and/or recorded with everyone from the Beatles to Little Richard, Frank Sinatra to Roy Orbison. And the repertoire is probably the most eclectic of any band, containing award winning original songs and custom arrangements of the great songs from the past.
