Swans are not reuniting

According to Swans mastermind Michael Gira, Swans are not reuniting for the first time in 13 years...they're reactivating. We'll take it! You can expect to hear crushingly amazing and bleak sounds from My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky on Feb 25 at The Rickshaw

T.K.O in Tokyo

Our sympathies to Alice Glass, who broke her ankle in Tokyo today. Is now a bad time to mention that she'll be fully healed in time for Crystal Castles to attack The Commodore on March 7?

I CAN Go for That

Darryl Hall has Chromeo over to his house. Magic ensues.



Chromeo comes to The Commodore Ballroom Feb 10 & 11 (#make your dreams come true)

Ra Ra Riot

If you missed Ra Ra Riot on Jimmy Kimmel, don't despair! You can still catch it here:

This song was drummer Gabriel Duquette's last performance with Ra Ra Riot after two years with the band.

You can see them up close and personal at The Biltmore Cabaret on Jan 29. Make sure you get there early to see Givers. Stereogum and Dirty Projectors are big Givers fans and we are too!

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Legendary Constellation Record artists Godspeed You Black Emperor are gracing the stage of The Vogue Theatre on Feb 16. Need we say more?

Black Mountain

Checkout Black Mountain live on Jimmy Fallon. We're BIG fans of both the band and the show.

Let Them Eat Cake

SWAK would like to congratulate THE BESNARD LAKES, OWEN PALLETT, BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE and CARIBOU on making the 2010 Polaris Prize Short List. This is going to make for an awesome telecast on September 25th. We might even watch it live...unless there is a show that night, then we'll have to tape it on the PVR. Either way, we're looking forward to watching the Gala. Who doesn't love a good Gala?
