Swans didn't win a Grammy, expand tour, add 2nd NYC show

“Absolutely OUTRAGED that The Grammys did not let Swans perform ‘To Be Kind’ in its entirety.” – Rick Sandmann

“Couldn’t watch the Grammys. Did Swans win all of them or did they split them down the middle with Perfect Pussy?” – JR Goldberg

“Put Swans up there and don’t take the camera off Taylor Swift as her head explodes. #Grammys” – Mike Randall

“I’m beginning to loose hope that there will be an Iggy Azalea/Swans collaboration during this Grammys” – Volta Coffee

Much to the Twitter community’s dismay, Swans continue to have no luck in the Grammys department (their collaborator St. Vincent does though), but they’ll keep on keepin’ on even without one of those gold gramophones (or even a nomination). The band already has a handful of dates coming up, including NYC on February 26 at Bowery Ballroom with Xylouris White, and they’ve now added a second NYC show happening about a month later at Music Hall of Williamsburg on March 22 with To Be Kind contributor Little Annie. Tickets for MHOW go on sale at noon on Friday (2/13) with an AmEx presale starting noon on Wednesday (2/11), and tickets for Bowery (same link) are still available.

Updated dates are listed, with a stream of the 34-minute epic “Bring The Sun/Toussaint L’Ouverture,” below…
