began production on White Teeth, Black Thoughts

Shortly after the release of Skaboy JFK , Perry already began announcing plans for the Daddies’ next studio album, revealing the band would be returning to swing music for their first all-swing album since Zoot Suit Riot . Initial production on the album, titled White Teeth, Black Thoughts , began in March 2011, though lasted infrequently throughout the year as the Daddies continued to carry out several more successful international tours, including two separate sold-out tours of Australia in 2011 and 2012. During this time, the band experienced major changes within their touring lineup after longtime keyboardist Dustin Lanker departed the group in 2012, prompting the Daddies to decide to continue touring without a live keyboardist. Several months later, trombonist Joe Freuen was added to the band, marking the first time the Daddies had ever included a full-time trombone player in their official lineup.
