I just completed my purchase for a ticket to see a band called Swans in San Francisco on March 1st. I've been tossing the idea around on whether or not to go because it's 4 hours away on a Tuesday night, but an opportunity to see this band play live hasn't come since they broke up in 1997.
They recently reformed, and released an album in 2010 titled, 'My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky'. I purchased it about a week ago and it has not left my player. It's incredible. Gira and the gang are returning strong as ever. My first encounter with Swans was back in 1999 when I picked up the monumental 'Great Annihilator'. I never heard such a fucked up record in my life, and I absolutely loved it. The new album picks up right where they left off with the mind blowing 9 min opening track 'No Words/No Thoughts'. Honestly, to me there's not a bad track on this disc, but my favorite is 'Eden Prison'. Check these guys out.
