Past event

One of the most uncompromising bands, Swans make music that alternates between bleak, brutal, noise rock and dark, ambient, moody folk coupled with intense live performances. Emerging from the downtown New York no wave scene, the group’s confrontational shows supported dissonant, repetitive records including 1983’s Filth. From that moment onwards the band is constantly evolving and revolutionizing their music.

Programme

19:30 Doors open
20:00 - 20:40 Norman Westeberg - support act
21:00 - 23:45 Swans

Na het dissonante debuut Filth uit 1982 kwam het begrafenisachtige industriële geluid van Greed. White Light from the Mouth of Infinity uit 1991 was aanzienlijk melodieuzer en uitgebreider geproduceerd, hoewel de concerten spektakels bleven. Ze gingen uit elkaar in 1997 na Soundtracks for the Blind, maar Swans hervormde in 2010. Deze versie, net zo compromisloos, leverde het meest commercieel succesvolle werk van de groep op, To Be Kind, in 2014. Nu is er een nieuw album opkomst.
