The boys from Luleå, Sweden have figured it out. If you make great music, and put on an engaging, high-energy live show, people will love it. Even if the type of music you're making has never really been done before. The two brothers, Johan (lead vocals, frontman) and Anders Rensfeldt (DJ, drums, guitar, vocals) are joined by their buddy Jocke Nilsson (saxophone, vocals) and the trio combines swing with hip hop so smoothly, it's as if they would be unnatural apart.
An exerpt from Wikipedia: On 27 July 2009, Movits! was featured on the American satirical news show The Colbert Report. The band was interviewed and performed their song "Fel del av gården". Colbert mentioned on his show on 30 July 2009, that the band's album Äppelknyckarjazz recently had gained significant popularity on Amazon.com and claimed that their appearance on his program was significantly responsible for their newfound popularity (referred to as "The Colbert Bump").
I shot this video last night. The sound quality isn't that great, but you can clearly see that they put on an incredibly entertaining show.
