Royal Crown Revue is a swing band formed in 1989 in Los Angeles, California. They have been credited with starting the neo-swing movement.
The band was founded by Mark Stern, Eddie Nichols, and Mando Dorame out of their love of rockabilly, punk, jazz, and blues. The band included Stern's brothers Jamie, Adam, and Shawn, who were members of the punk band Youth Brigade. Other members included Daniel Glass, Scott Steen, James Achor, Veikko Lepisto, and Bill Ungerman.
After appearing in the movie The Mask, Royal Crown Revue began a residency at the Derby in Los Angeles
From 1996 through 1998, the Royal Crown Revue was engaged in a lawsuit with the Amazing Royal Crowns after much confusion with promoters. In accordance with a July 1998 settlement, the latter band changed its name to the Amazing Crowns; in exchange, the Revue agreed to drop the lawsuit.
