Visiting down under in a historic tour.
The hugely influential and much lauded Swans will tour Australia & New Zealand for the first time in March 2011.
Emerging from the early ’80s New York No Wave scene alongside such artists as Sonic Youth, 8-Eyed Spy and James Chance, Swans’ seminal and confronting sound has had a profound impact on the music world. The various styles they explored often cited as an influence for a number of artists; such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Napalm Death and Neurosis. Led my Michael Gira Swans "reconvened" for the first time in over a decade at the start of the year and have since recorded and released their first album together in 13 years. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to catch them live.
Swans play the Forum Theatre on Thursday March 10. In the country around Golden Plains time, eh?
