Swans Band Practice

Swans let us into their very small rehearsal space right before they went on tour.

I feel like being in a band with Micheal Gira would be fucking terrifying

I hear they are amazing live. My sister saw them play twice in Melbourne recently and she came away a huge fan.

I never heard of Swans until 3 years ago. Saw them live and they blew me away.Thanks to my mate Phil for me getting into them..

Gira's looking a lot like my father after work

I read "Swans Bad Practice" and thought it was a song I didn't know. Kinda sounds like a Swans song title.

I've always been intrigued as to why M.Gira specifically uses a Gibson BB King Lucille almost exclusively. I suppose the real answer is probably along the lines of simply "because hejust likes it, that's why", but I can't be the only one whose struck by what a unique choice of guitar it is considering the music he makes.

Thank you, recently seen them play in Auckland, New Zealand - epic.

In response to Carol Miller's question, the song is Eden Prison.

I had luck to exchange few words with the pedal steel player (sorry, don't know his name), a skinny guy, very polite and friendly. It was in Rijeka/Croatia after (or before?) the gig. Which was brutal and punishing, a real experience

[TheSWolfe]

Finally! After all these yrs, will be seeing them tomorrow night.

[albundie]

the drummer looks like the tall dude from mad tv

[Tordah]

Gonna see them in one week! Really stoked!!!

[mercster]

I learned one thing from this video: I could be a member of Swans. I don't know how to play guitar.

Way to make something really wonderful sound like ass, Fader.
