One of the great bands from the 90’s. Creation and 4AD was set to blow our minds for a decade then Cobain and Mtv reset our addict minds with grunge. I was listening to tons of Swervedriver, Ride, Lush, Pale Saints, JaMC, MBV, Pixies, Spacemen 3. Saw Swervedriver at Cats Cradle in Chapel Hill NC. Was so wound up from the show I followed them to the next gig at the 40 Watt in Athens GA. The sound and feel of them all rocking forward to stomp on their stompboxes to take us down a twisted highway on a motorcycle was immense. Love love love Swervedriver

I saw them open for the Smashing Pumpkins at the Ritz in Ybor City, Tampa during Siamese Dream. What a show - I was so new to the area that I didn't know anyone so I went by myself, and ended up meeting another Swervedriver fan who just nerded out over this amazing band with me before we went our seperate ways.

In my opinion, Swervedriver are 1 of the most radical sounding bands of all time. There are other and have been other rad bands over the years but i think that overall they take the gold medal! Mezcal Head would be in my top 5 albums of all time for radical sounds.

Amazing band. I grew up with Sandblaster and their first album. I am privileged indeed. A very talented and original band. Love love love them.

Saw them last night in Adelaide, South Oz. Played all or Raise, some Mezcal Head and newer tracks. Onstage nearly two hours, crowd hypnotised by the waves of guitar washing round the room. Still a great band.

Love this band. Never got to see them in the days, but their albums never disappoint.

I admire the intricacies in Adam's playing. I could never pull that off & sing as well.

STEVE on Bass is the Classic line up, after he left, you can tell what an contribution he was to the band. Your missed mate!✊🏾

Thanks Swervedriver for Fibbers, York last night. Superb, life affirming love of music. New album totally recommended. It's just great that these are still around

Great job of audio engineering and hosting. Brilliant band as well, of course. Thank you.

- You gotta love these guys...they are not a traditional rock band. The method in which they melt the guitars together is pure art...

Simply beautiful!

Beautiful 😍

God that sounds great. Thanks guys.

So great live

Wow. They killed it on jaguar e. That sound!

Yeah, better than the album version. That’s why good bands always need to be heard live.

I didn't know they were playing again, thanks KEXP!!!

I love this guys!

awesome

heart !!

Wish they'd played something from "Raise"

Best band ever!

Quality.

SWD is one of the most innovative and rocking bands ever...those that diss them can FO!their tapestry of guitars are unparallelled.

I, as well, thought they meant Deep Seat. I promise to purchase a new record released by Swervedriver.

The two guitarists are original. The bass player is not original but has been with them for a long time (he played on the 3rd and 4th albums). The drummer is from Adam's other band, Bolts of Melody. It's not clear yet whether he's officially the new Swervedriver drummer, or just a touring member.

Yeah, i'm stopping skating, stopped playing videogames and listen to mellow music, i guess lifes slowing down a bit, i still play the guitar, a bit like Robin Guthrie's newer stuff these days, i suppose, in an ambient way.

Still on the case by the looks of this! England's last great Psych band!

if you like this you will love Teenage FANCLUB

Ha so did I, I wonder if it was the same show. It was the early 90s and Medicine opened up for them.

That was the show!

Actually,I have a very cool picture of that guitar with blood splattering. He had ripped a significant portion of a nail off about 3/4 of the show......didn't even miss a beat.

my bloody valentine meets dinosaur jr.

That seems to be the original lineup? I saw them twice in 1991/93.

they have changed so much! i can't believe i don't see dreadlocks!

Saw these cats open up for Hum in 98' at The Milk Bar in Jacksonville Fl. One of them kicked a dude in the face cuz he kept trying to grab him. I was like wtf?

SuttonSantiniPaulo man, I miss that 90s Champaign music scene. It was so close to exploding...Hum being one of them. I'm certain I saw these guys open for them here in Champaign

Wish he spoke more into the microphone.

the vocalist is using the same guitar from this show /watch?v=nuMBAxnG048 awesome

Nope...it's a Jazzmaster. Was on loan to Adam for the '12 US tour.

Putting a fucking Duracell ad 1:10 into this video does not entice me to buy batteries, Google. Really? You employ how many people to get into the average consumer's head and this is your strategy? Well done.

It's a Fender, even though it looks like J. Mascis' Squier model.

All these old comments, and I'm here late

Birds sounds like a fairly straight Bevis Frond Byrds tribute.

He's Adam Franklin, he's supposed to be off key ;)

Are you saying he would fail on American Idol? Not sure that's a bad thing.

i missed getting tix for Toronto .. how did i not see news on the tour.. rats rats rats.

I thought I heard that. I assumed I was tripping.

Errr, are you replying to yourself or something?

singer is off key pretty frequently... everything else is golden

Someone like Joe Satriani in my eyes is quite good, radical and probably more technically advanced playing wise, but in more of a "cock rocky", kind of way and something i never really associated, or associate myself much with in my collective skateboard, videogame, guitar world. I'm planning on stopping skating at 43 and i generally listen to a lot more ambient and mellow music these days, less of the grunge i suppose.

Their energy is gone I'm afraid.

bloody rubbish the band starts and the badly placed ad comes on . thought kexp was about music

I was just wondering what you meant when youtube did the same to me! I could *pigf___* the person who thought that was a good idea.

The fact they weren't huge goes to show you that the world has a shitty taste in music

I hate to say it, but this drummer doesn't bring the energy for me.
