[kj] SWANS touring in October

[wessidetempest .]

Yes they are still loud. Really loud.
And in the US the shows are typically well attended and well done on their part. Been going to the live shows for 20+ years. Always worth it and different from last time.

Saw them once at the Town & Country Club in Kentish Town, when it was stupidly, ridiculously loud (do
they still do that?) This was the early 90s I think. The whole standing area of the venue cleared out, half the audience left and the
rest were pressed up in the bar/toilet area, gritting their teeth. I lasted about six songs, then had to
leave. There was one trashed bloke standing in front of one of the speaker stacks, if he didn't have
ear protection then I guess his hearing was probably screwed for life after that. It was sort of funny,
but then I didn't pay for my ticket. Presumably they were known for doing this - I didn't know much about them,
went with a friend trying to convert me (you can imagine how that went) - so maybe people just bought a ticket to say 'I was there'.

Some of you may be interested to know that Swans are playing the UK this October-likely the final tour with the current line up- 2 dates at the Islington Assembly hall  which is a little venue so should be a stormer-check SeeTickets. (plus Brighton and oop north)
