Swans

As we’ve heard from places like The New Yorker, NYTimes, and everywhere in between, the reactivated Swans are a powerhouse and a near religious live force. I spoke about this firsthand when recapping the 10/8 Brooklyn Masonic Temple show Haunting The Chapel co-organized. Not just that, the new album My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky is a great one, better than maybe anyone could have hoped/imagined. All more than enough reason to extend the tour, which is just what Michael Gira & Co. have done. Take a look at the expanded itinerary that takes us deep into 2011. The old dates stop after 12/13 in Germany. The new ones pick up in February in Austin. Wooden Wand, who’s also back in finest form, is opening the new US shows.
