[edit] Dustin Lanker and Dan Schmid

I remember reading last year that Dustin and Dan left to join The Visible Men, but on the Resurrection forum photos from the March 25, 2006 performance definitely show Dan on bass. I'm not positive Dustin was on keyboard, but I think it was (hair was different or something, as with many of them).

I first put them under former members, but after looking at the photos for a while, moved them back to current. Unless anyone has any more definite info, I'd say we should leave it that way until the new official site has an updated member list or something.

I took the members from the liner notes of all of the albums to do the member list. If anybody has better dates or anything, feel free to adjust them. I provided a starting point based on what the albums said at each point.

Now that the touring has become more frequent and the official myspace page has been edited, it is certain that the two "Visible Men" are indeed still with the Daddies. It is now certain that the lineup really hasn't changed at all since 2000 or so, which is nice to see... UnhandledException 06:11, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes they did indeed leave the band to start The Visible men; Tim was also in The Visible Men but did not stay. The band had a reconciliation in 2002 and have been "back together" ever since.

Also Dang Outlet is Dan Schmid --Madame o 12:00, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that the Visible Men's first album gave Tim a drummer credit, but didn't actually reference him as a member of the band. That explains it. --UnhandledException 23:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greatest Hits?

A few sites list a greatest hits CD as having been released in 2003. I have even read a review talking about how it has only stuff from Zoot Suit Riot and Soul Caddy, so it isn't of much use to CPD fans. To my knowledge, this thing doesn't actually exist (I have been wrong before). Is this something that was planed and never happened or was the release so small that it is completely off the radar. I have never seen it at any store new or used, nor have I ever seen it on ebay. Anybody know the truth?

Here's a link to a review: review UnhandledException 22:44, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

This is something that was talked about happening because of some contract stuff what was going on with thier former record lable. When MOJO was sold it was a big mess i won't go in to it here but in the end there was talk, it did not happen, the daddies did not want it to happen and it turn out that way. --Madame o 07:54, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Cool. I have always wondered about this. So apparently AMG got some sort of promo copy and reviewed it. Just as well, it would be pretty redundant. I'm sure that's how the daddies felt about it, too. --UnhandledException 23:45, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jack and Jill / WYTKZ

I've seen two other songs on at least one Cherry Poppin' Daddies set list.

Jack and Jill

Is this song Count Basie's Jack and Jill or some variation of the nursery rhyme? If anybody knows for sure, it should be added to the live list.

WYTKZ

I have no idea what this stands for or what it means. It was on a set list.

UnhandledException 07:09, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

    • I have some bootlegs from their shows and all their music (even before swing when they were just called 'The Daddies') So I will go break these out and check for you. --Brian (How am I doing?)
  • "WYKZ" Is the way Mr White keys in written on set list. --Madame o 12:01, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. I was trying to think of what it was an acronym for, and it was phonetic! UnhandledException 22:41, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • "jack & Jill" is not a Count Basie song, it’s about whisky jack and vodka Jill --Madame o 12:12, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Cherry Poppin Daddies are" vs "is"

I've changed the lead sentence to refer to the Cherry Poppin' Daddies as a "they" rather than an "it". This pretty much matches the usage of the rest of the article, including the second sentence in the intro, which says of the band, "They consider their style to be...". Hopefully this is agreeable? I think it sounds more natural, especially since the band's name "Cherry Poppin' Daddies" seems like it should be plural. T. S. Rice 08:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

  • I have also changed the wording for the first paragraph from 'fad' into 'swing revival' as that is what it is concidered. --Brian (How am I doing?) 15:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Grammatically incorrect, I'm afraid.

[edit] More History Please

I lived in Seattle around the same time as "Ferociously Stoned", thoroughly enjoyed it and their live shows were incredible back then as well, so I don't understand starting the history at "Zoot Suit". Very sorry I wasn't enough of a scenester at the time to add anything relevant here. Also, I think a "Controversy" section be added as (I need references for this, dates, names, etc.) at one point their record company forced them to change their name to "The Daddies". This only lasted for a seven-inch single and some live shows, I don't recall if the record company capitulated or if CPD moved to a new label but they were back with the original name soon after. hpp3 15:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I have been compiling a thorough history for about four months now, using archive.org to resurrect sites that are long past. As soon as I have time to finish compiling this research (currently about 60%), I will be giving the band's history the completeness it deserves. I can't promise it soon, but it is in the works. We'll just have to take wagers of whether I will get this done before or after the new official site is complete at this point. UnhandledException 18:44, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Wish I could help more, really...hpp3 18:01, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

CPD has gone by many names, some was because they where ask to clean up thier name, sometimes it was just for fun. Mostly you see "the daddies" ,"Merry Poppin Daddies" and sometimes "big Yank". --Madame o 12:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


I lived in Eugene at the time of their formation, and knew Steve and Dan pretty well, when they first started playing around town as the CPD it really made some of the uber-PC liberals s--t their pants, I remember a letter to the editor of the local paper claiming for a boycott of the band whose name was actually "the father's who rape their virgin daughters!!!". Absolutely laughable, but typical for Eugene's social climate. Anyway, as usual the mob of hippies got their way in that town, and many places like the W.O.W. hall (which was probably the biggest venue they played in locally back then) bowed to public pressure and threats of picket lines and wouldn't let them play under CPD. Other places followed suit, and it was around this time that you would see flyers with many different names, such as "cencorshippin' daddies" etc. until I think they got tired of the games and started playing locally most often as just "the Daddies", although according to Steve the name was always officially still CPD. I don't know if any stuff about subsequent label demands is true or not, just thought i'd throw in a little bit of pre-history.

One other thing, the song "No Mercy for Swine" on the b-side of the Zoot Suit 7" isn't actually written by Perry as listed, it's a song by Etherteen, a locally infamous punk-rock band that had broken up about 3 years before CPD, and with whom Steve and some of the other CPD members were friends. --Some random wikipedia surfer too lazy to log in.

I've been doing tons and tons of research thanks to the now defunct Daddyworld.com, and am piecing together a comprehensive biography of them. So far I've got the beginnings down. I would have waited for Unhandled Exception to do it, but it's been over a year, and I know how easy it is to lose interest in projects...Skibz777 03:00, 21 September 2007 (UTC) Well, I tried my best. It's not good, but it's a start. Anybody can fix it up if they so wish. Pictures would be nice. I have a few live ones taken several months ago, but they're..."eh". Skibz777 04:17, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the way you uses your mouth

Is in no way a CPD song and i think is should not be listed here. it's not a Solo project eather, it was steve messing around in the studio with a friends one day. Said friend then sold song.

Given what I have learned about the song I would tend to agree with you at this point. UnhandledException 22:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More Recent Photo

Does anybody have a good more-recent photo that includes all eight members that they would be willing to donate to the public domain for use on this page. This "fair use" promotional one is getting pretty dated, so much that I'm not even positive that it contains all of the current eight. Madam O might be able to help out with this one. UnhandledException 22:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

There are no new press shots yet, but this one located here http://www.paradiseartists.com/artists/cherry_poppin_daddies/splash.jpg is the most current. I don't know off the top of my head who toke it, but it is the same person/place that toke the ones for Soul Caddy. --Madame o 07:35, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

p.s. the currant photo dose have has all the members since is has been the same band since 1999.. well not really John was on keys for a bit but then Dustin came back. there was only one promo photo that has john in it. Thats the one you see on the guys in from of Bally's.--Madame o 22:32, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Good, if it has the current 8, it's good enough in my book until some official promos come out with the new album. --UnhandledException 23:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

This is the last Promo "fair use" photo http://www.inmusicwetrust.com/articles/images/34/h01.jpg which is still to this day used. I think it's a better more current look of what the band looks like.
