Silver Swans @ Public Assembly
San Francisco's Silver Swans were a late addition to our day party on Friday afternoon (10/21) and their slinky synth pop made for a nice pairing with Xeno & Oaklander who played after them. If you missed them at CMJ you can still catch Silver Swans tonight (10/24) at Pianos. They DON'T play with Sweden's Buvette and Australian trio Cameras.
UPDATE: Silver Swans are not playing Pianos tonight afterall. Scheduling mixup. You can however hear one of them DJing tonight on East Village Radio from 8-10pm. More dates HERE.
Look for Silver Swans' debut album, Forever, in early December. Meanwhile check out pics and video from the show below.
