Swim Swam Swum: West Coast tour
Portland indie rockers Swim Swam Swum have a short tour lined up, taking them on the road for two weeks, plus two Pdx gigs sitting as bookends to the tour. Their high energy post-punk stage presence was described by the Willamette Week as, "at once loud and reserved, rocking and intimate."
In 2006 Swim Swam Swum recorded with Point Juncture, WA's Skyler Norwood and released their self-titled debut on the indie Lola Records. Skyler has gained recognition for producing Talkdemonic and the Plug Award nominated Horse Feathers.
All four of the songs from their EP are now offered as downloads on MySpace and Purevolume: 3 Pairs of Scissors, Ink and Grass, Is Life, and Without Your French.
Swim Swam Swum is a three-piece that, rumor had it, was having difficulty solidifying the third member. It appears that Randy has joined Clinton and Matt, and the unsigned band is beginning to perform again.
