Local legends Swell reuniting for show at Independent
Itâs been said that inspiration can strike at the strangest of times and at the most remarkable of places.
For Swell â the post-punk pioneers who will play a special reunion show at the Independent on Dec. 5 in memoriam of late singer David Freel â their band origins can be traced back to a small, remote village in Spain, thousands of miles away from their homebase of San Francisco.
After a series of false starts, drummer Sean Kirkpatrick had relocated to the northern Iberian coast to surf and teach English, somewhat convinced that his musicianship days were behind him. Thatâs when he received a visit from his one-time musical partner, Freel, and the two were convinced to give their nascent musical project a fresh start.

I believe I made myself explicitly clear...They sound like elevator music to me and it just isn't something I enjoy. I'm very happy that you enjoy their music. That is all I'm going to say on this subject. J'ai fini!

And I was gonna give you tickets to one of their upcoming concerts for Christmas. I guess I'll have to go with the fruit cake instead.
How is that working out for you? You've posted and posted and have not found much support so I'm only saying give it a rest...An old saying around here is "your favorite band sucks" and in my opinion yours meets that criterion 10 fold. Cheers!
