The Swans are one of the most significant bands of the 1980s. The band around Micheal Gira has such a cult status, which not many bands have. After they disappeared in 1997 from the stage the words “SWANS ARE NOT DEAD” appeared in early 2010 on Gira’s  MySpace page. The new version of the band consisted of former as well as new members including guitarists Westberg and Christoph Hahn, drummer/percussionist Phil Puleo and drummer Thor Harris, and bassist Chris Pravdica. The band recorded the album My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky, which was released in September of 2010 on Young God. The live album We Rose from Your Bed with the Sun in Our Head followed in 2012. In August of that year, Swans released the sprawling double album The Seer, an album that Gira claimed was 30 years in the making. Gira and his collaborators were hardly short on ideas by this point, and in 2014 they released another double album, To Be Kind, which featured guest vocals from St. Vincent. Few days after the release they went on world tour, they will be in Europe in autumn. They are coming back to Prague and the Lucerna Music Bar on the 20^th of October.

As support is the young experimental artist Margaret Chardiet alias Pharmakon coming. It will be the very first time on a Czech stage! The last album Abandon was released on Scared Bones Records and gained a lot attention. We are very excited to have them both on one stage!
