Swervedriver Tickets

After more than 25 years of undying love for their music, I must say Swervedriver continues to thrill and amaze. Just such a rare honor to see them still having fun and still at the top of their game. Most criminally underrated band ever. First time at Teragram. Loved the place! Nice and intimate feel.

The venue is really cool with lots of parking available across the street and in the area! Sound is not the best but it wouldn't deter me from going here again. Great time had by all!

Had to leave early so only saw first few Swervedriver numbers. Edgier than I expected. The two support bands were great. First up were nice and tight with an original approach. Loud and lovely! Next up were efficient and had a sexy girl who did fun stuff with bubbles. Really enjoyed.

It's been well over two decades since I last caught Swervedriver in the pubs of London and Oxford. Crammed into a stuffy sold out Mercury Lounge space, I began to question the logic of coming out on a Monday work night in my late 40's. The band themselves, who looked like they had probably just walked off jet lagged off a plane, began with subtle melody but quickly worked there way up in intensity to cover pretty much their entire catalogue in a captivating night of tunes. I had to wonder how Mick Quinn could have mastered so many songs as a fill in bass player. So happy to see this band playing again. The new album has definite chops. Classic night.

I was really excited to see the band after so many years! The band came on an hour late first off. 11:30 on a Monday night. Then the sound at Mercury lounge is total crap. Not the bands fault. But not helpful that they didn't complete a sound check. Overall could've been better. Maybe next time.

One of the greatest and THE most under rated bands of all time. Their albums are great, but you have to see them live! Every live show is a great mix of their entire library of music and they rarely do the same show twice. In a world full of teenie pop girl and boy bands, and "rock" bands forced down you throats by record companies and iTunes, it's nice to see a real band, with real integrity, doing it on their own terms.

Adam Franklin and Swervedriver just keep getting better, smarter,- more powerful in their performance. This was not just a band replaying their songs from the early 90's- They did play songs from all 4 earlier albums, plus a few great ones from the one they just released, but every song was an intense structure of sound, re-invented each time they play it. Consistently loud, but not overwhelming-there were moments of shimmering beauty throughout and Adam floated his voice over and through each composition. At the best times, the feeling was something like seeing a great jazz musician, like Miles Davis or Mingus play- a few minutes of explanation in cultured tones- then we are thrown into a sprawling, sonic experience. The encore set featured a thrilling version of Last train to Satansville, the band's take on a classic blues theme turned into a sort of existential trip to mental hell, and a glorious re-invention of 'Duel" that as far as I can remember, finished the night.

They played a good mix of old favorites and great songs from the new album. I am so happy that they are doing new stuff, which will hopefully lead to more tours in the future! Also, kudos to Supergrass' Mick Quinn, who filled in admirably on bass.

I was blown away by Gateway Drugs opening set, and even more amazed by Swervedriver's latest songs live and some of the classics. Just an absolutely amazing show from beginning to end. GVD

Been listening to them over 20 years finally got to see them and the new album is amazing
