Too bad the Squirrel Nut Zippers ended up going their separate ways but because of that there are now several splinter groups including (but not limited to) Jim Mathus Knockdown Society, the Countdown Quartet, Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire, and Katherine Whalen's Jazz Squad. By the way, for those of you in the NC area, I understand Katherine will be doing some shows around here this summer. I still can't get over the person that referred to the NC music scene as "weak" in the Top 10 Music Cities thread when it's anything but. Hell, just these splinter groups from Squirrel Nut Zippers alone are nearly enough to comprise a music scene all their own and they pretty much have.
