Swirlies playing shows this summer

Swirlies

Back in 2009 Bill wrote:

"Veteran Boston dream pop band Swirlies will be playing their first shows in almost five years in February '09, including one at Mercury Lounge. Formed in 1990, Swirlies' "Chris R" was the opening track on the seminal 1992 indiepop compilation One Last Kiss that also featured Lilys, Magnetic Fields, Velocity Girl, Small Factory, Black Tambourine and more. Since then, they've released a string of swell 7" singles and albums, including 1993's Blonder Tongue Audio Baton and 1996's They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons. (Most of their records are available as free downloads from their website, by the way.) Few American bands have done the shoegazey thing as well as them."
Now it's 2011 and "Swirlies are together once again performing a smattering of rare live shows on the east coast, with original band members Damon Tutunjian and Andy Bernick, joined by Rob '(The) Doctor Laasoko' Laakso (Amazing Baby) and drummer Adam Pierce." It's four shows total and they're listed below...

Aren't swirlies the thing where you put the person's head in the toilet and flush? Does this mean The Wedgies will be opening?

And now that we've exhausted all three schoolyard pranks, let's stop writing lame comments.

Finally, a good band getting back together. It sucks they're playing an open air show but what are you gonna do?

Love the Swirlies, hate that someone from Amazing Baby is playing with them. Worst band and people.

Rob Laakso played with the Swirlies long before there ever was an Amazing Baby
