tons more dates have been added. check out this link for specifics. The superfan who runs the Swervedriver myspace page encourages you to buy tickets early.***
UK shoegazers Swervedriver have scheduled 5 shows for their 2008 reunion (so far). In addition to the two NYC shows they’d previously announced, they’ll be playing three more dates are as follows:
5/31 – Hollywood, CA/Henry Fonda
6/03 – Austin, TX/Emo’s
6/10 – Boston, MA/ Paradise Rock Club
6/11 – NYC, NY/Bowery Ballroom
6/12 – Brooklyn, NY/Music Hall of Williamsburg
NOTE THAT THE L.A. SHOW JUST HAPPENS TO BE ON THE SAME NIGHT AS THE CURE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL. Ahem. ‘Scuse me, I’m sorry. I would just like the chance to see them both, but I already have really good seats for the Cure so that’ll have to do. It was a little comforting, however, to read the comments on the Swervedriver post on the brooklynvegan site–reposted here just to make you giggle:
“The first Swervedriver album, All Swerved Up is classic. After that they became total nazi National Front crap.”
and the reply:
“Swervedriver is not to be confused with the nazi band SCREWDRIVER.”
Swervedriver – Satansville
Swervedriver – The Hitcher
