live [and quick] review: Swans at Paradise Thursday

Posted by Amy Steele in Music on October 13, 2012

Swans
Paradise
Thursday, October 11, 2012

Noise explosion. Arty noise. Old guys playing with intensity and passion. Not much audience interaction but it’s more of a Zen thing for this band. Can’t walk away, can’t take your eyes off. A truly unique sonic experience. Two percussionists. Unusual instruments and a strange crowd. 75% geeky guys in the crowd. Really geeky. World of Warcraft geeky. Bouncer said: “It’s like a David Lynch film.”
