Swingline Cubs

Swingline Cubs band image

Since 1983, The Swingline Cubs have been the standard by which all other variety dance bands in the Portland area have been measured. The fact that the ‘Cubs’ have been one of Portland’s busiest private party bands over the past twenty years is no accident, they are just that good! The Swingline Cubs are available for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, festivals, concerts, and any event where quality music and exciting, professional entertainment is essential.

Swingin' since 1983, the band was christened the "Swingline Cubs" by a bartender in a rare moment of history. The majority of the events where the ‘Cubs’ perform come from referrals. This is a testimony to the professionalism and quality of their work. The Swingline Cubs treat every engagement as if it were the biggest day in our clients' lives... because it often is!

Event Advice

A Classy I-pod Event?:

Biased you say? Maybe. Regardless, its clear to me that an event “DJed” by an I-pod is only marginally cooler than one that was “DJed” by a walkman in the 80's. Now you are probably scratching your head and trying to remember a time when you went to a cool event that was “DJed” by a walkman. You probably can’t think of any. Why? Well, as cool as walkmans were, and as cool as I-pods are, they just aren’t very good at moving sound equipment, making announcements, reading a crowd, interacting with guests and the whole entertainment thing in general.
