Swans

Confirm a performance at Drill: Brighton festival, on Sunday 7 December.

SWANS have confirmed a performance at Drill : Brighton festival on Sunday 7 December. The festival, curated by Wire, will include a one-off collaboration between Wire and Swans – full details over at www.drillfestival.com. Drill : Brighton follows the Michael Gira / Swans curated Mouth To Mouth festival in Utrecht on 22 November which Wire are also appearing at, full details over at http://leguesswho.nl/

Swans infamous and mighty live performance has been described by the Guardian as “a magnificent achievement”, by The Quietus as “a revelation” and by NME as “colossal”. 

The band recently announced their biggest UK headline show yet, at London’s historic Roundhouse, on 21 May 2015. Tickets are available from: http://bit.ly/1nZWqQ8, special guests will be announced shortly.

In addition, they round off an incredible year which has seen the release of their critically acclaimed album, To Be Kind, with a remastered edition of their debut studio album, ‘Filth’, out vinyl, CD and digitally on 27 October 2014.

‘Filth’ was released in 1983, the album was recently described by Clash magazine as “a brutally exhaustive work swimming in a thematic pool of audacious abjection” and by The Village Voice as “no wave with five years of practice, too messy for mysticism and too funny for suicide.” The vinyl edition of ‘Filth’ will come with two reproduction live posters and is the first in a series of remastered catalogue reissues.

Swans, led by Michael Gira, formed in 1982 and, after disbanding in 1997, returned with the critically acclaimed albums ‘My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky’ (2010), ‘The Seer’ (2012) and this year’sTo Be Kind– which was awarded the #1 slot in The Quietus’ Albums of the Year So Far and featured in MOJO, Drowned In Sound, The 405, Rolling Stone and many more mid-year lists.

Swans are Michael Gira, Norman Westberg, Christoph Hahn, Phil Puleo, Thor Harris and Christopher Pravdica.
