May 8, 2005   Band - Pier Plaza Presents Royal Crown Review (www.rcr.com). The seven piece band of Eddie Nichols (vocals), Mando Dorame (tenor sax), Jim Jedeikin (bari/alto sax), Scott Steen (trumpet) Mark Cally (guitar), Dave Miller (bass) and Daniel Glass (drums) has appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Today Show and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Also appearing at the Playboy Jazz Festival and providing musical scores for movies and television shows, RCR recorded and performed live with Bette Midler at the Billboard Music Awards and composed the original theme for the WB Network's television season. With seven CD releases and commercial success both in the studio and on tour around the world, CRC plays a hybrid of sounds adapted from Southern California punk, rockabilly, East Side Rhthm and Blues and NYC street corner doo wop. The best known example of their music is in The Mask, which starred Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz. RCR's cameo in this 1994 film made their song "Hey Pachuco!" an instant classic. The song's infectious jungle groove and shout chorus went on to grace countless film scores, Las Vegas revues, an Acura advertising campaign, and numerous television shows such as King of the Hill. RCR also served as inspiration for the hit movie Swingers. This free outdoor concert kicks off the summer series, bringing some of the hottest bands to Huntington Beach.
