The Low-Down Sires are dedicated to the lost sounds of early jazz. Their raucous style predates the smoother sounds of big band swing and the cynicism of modern jazz and transports you to the streets of New Orleans and the barrelhouses of early 20th century Mississippi river towns.

This wonderfully talented band will be performing during the Friday night film shoot of SLX (July 5’th). More details and full event schedule will be available by the end of the week on the SLX web page here.

3, 2, 1, Action!

  SwingX is live and rolling towards the big screen! After a month of hardcore production planning in the bowels of Argentina, the SwingX production team is excited about the ways Lindy-loving folks can get involved with the film - most notably in the upcoming auditions for dance and acting roles!

  Imagine this:

  All around you are the sounds of film production. Mic cables are being shaken out; a camera operator is checking the heads on his crane and dolly; the set lights warm your face as one of your best friends stands next to you reviewing their lines. In your mind you are going over the killer dance moves you’ve been practicing for weeks on end. You are focused. You are ready. You are the lead role in Swing X and you are about to shoot the finale dance scene.

  Stop imagining: this could be you!

    How? Basically all you have to do is bust out your dad’s old video camera or a friend’s iPhone, grab a scripted scene (known as a ‘side’) from the SwingX website, and show us what you’ve got! We want to see both your heart-breaking melodrama and your best dance moves. If you want to be a star, all you have to do is show us. And for those of you that don’t mix acting and dancing, don’t worry! We have acting roles for non-dancers, and dancing roles for non-actors!

  So get ready! Start warming up! Get your friends onboard! What could be better than starring in a movie with all your besties? Auditions open April 15th!

  Stay tuned! More info and the actual sides are coming soon. The best way to stay involved and updated is to follow us on Facebook and our Tumblr blog. Also if you’re on Instagram check us out: @SwingX_Movie

  We love all of you stars and can't wait to see YOU in a theater near us.

  Keep swinging!
