The Louisville Sluggers The Louisville Sluggers The Louisville Sluggers, also known as The Sluggers, were an Australian swing revival band from Sydney formed in the late 1990s by Glenn "Nugget" Scott and his sister, "The Boss". Their vision was of a swinging show with a big band sound, styling threads and songs everyone could dance to. The band took its name from the popular baseball bat commonly known as a "Louisville Slugger". (One swings a baseball bat?) This flash of inspiration took place outside the doors of the art deco Enmore Theatre in Sydney, after the band's first photo shoot. Bandleader and drummer
