"After the end of Dance Hall Crashers, Denike continued on her own, expanding her musical vision to take in cabaret, jazz and swing textures, all delivered with a bracing dose of theatricality."
"Now leading The Cottontails, Denike focuses on Roaring '20s jazz, World War II-era swing and R&B from the 1950s. The band's concert itineraries have taken them as far afield as the UK, Europe and Japan."
Karina Denike gained prominence as the frontwoman of Dance Hall Crashers, a Bay Area ska band that achieved success during the third wave of ska in the 1990s with their horn-focused sound. Following the band's dissolution, Denike pursued a solo career that broadened her musical palette to incorporate cabaret, jazz, swing, and theatrical elements. Currently, she leads The Cottontails, a band specializing in music from the 1920s jazz era, 1940s swing influenced by World War II, and 1950s R&B. The group has performed extensively across international locations including the United Kingdom, Europe, and Japan.
