a friend and i are headed to a swans concert in 2 days. what can i expect? will they play more of the old no-wave stuff or the newer more experimental stuff. also is there a chance i can get gira to come into the audience and kick my ass? i'd love that
they'll mostly play their newer stuff. they might play one older song.

It's hard to say at the minute, because they haven't toured the new album yet. I would guess based on older tours that it'll mostly be songs from The Glowing Man and newer songs that haven't been recorded yet.
Michael Fisher
their set is 50% already existing post-reformation stuff (stuff from The Seer/TBK) and 50% brand new songs they might throw in Coward or a similar song from that era if you're very lucky

no, but he'd probably rape you like he raped Larkin
Jordan Perry
Gira hasn't fought audience members since the 80s. At worst he might bitch out the sound engineer or step on your fingers if you rest your hands on the stage. He does still have the AC shut down during the show so dress comfortably.
