I can't wait! This show is going to be awesome. Thanks for posting about this Jag…

I will definitely be there, but does anyone know set times? I have a dinner with folks in from Nairobi – can't really blow them off!

Thanks…

10pm: uncut
11pm: a place to bury strangers

Here's the poster that I created for the show.

On a similar note, this Q & A with Adam Franklin of Swervedriver is in the May 2005 issue of Record Collector magazine.

What were you trying to achieve in Swervedriver?
I think we were pitching to land somewhere between The Jimi Hendrix Experience's Electric Ladyland and Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation. We also liked The Stooges and Husker Du.

Were Swervedriver shoegazers?
The shoegazer bands had floppy fringes and wore Chelsea boots, we had dreadlocks and wore baseball boots. We were more like grungegazers I suppose…with an umlaut on the 'a'.

Why does now seem the right time for shoegazing compilations and Swervedriver anthologies?
It seems that there are a lot of younger bands, particularly in the US, citing Swervedriver, Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and so on as influences, so this music has had longevity, I guess. There isn't one band in the US citing the Manic Street Preachers as an influence.

Unusaully, Swerverdriver seemed particularly enamoured with iconic images of Americana. Can you explain this?
The American cars thing probably came from Marc Bolan - who in turn was getting it from Chuck Berry songs and that classic 1955 rock 'n' roll thing. Also, I wanted people to be listening to Swervedriver the way we'd listened to the MC5: driving at high speeds down country lanes….

Obviously, I'm really excited about this show -and the show tomorrow night (when Uncut opens for Death From Above 1979). Hey, I think Uncut may be looking for a place to stay Tuesday and Wednesday nights. If anyone has any room on their floor, let me know. They are all really nice guys.

Roll call…who's coming?

i'd like to go but i'm pretty swamped with work … maybe i can get a little group together

I'm going, and PRAYING to get there by 10:00.

I think Uncut will be on around 9:30, so hopefully you will catch the last half of the set.

since ceremony cancelled and i'm keeping it to two bands, uncut will likely go on around 9:45 and get 45 minutes.

your streetteaming efforts paid off…i might be swinging by to check it out (my first warehouse show), that is if i can convince some friends to go.

Come regardless of whether friends can go! After all, your other friends will already be there! :)

Dodgy,

Thanks to all of you who attended this show!

We had a good time and the bands really enjoyed themselves.

Fico, which issue are you looking for? What's the name of your band? Since I live in the UK, it's all over the place. I'm not sure if or where they would sell it in the States? Maybe I can arrange to send you a copy?
