A gritty blend of bluesy vocals and the relentless sound of pure electricity.
"If you've never seen Hugh Swaso, who leads Barbarella, you should. With formidable guitar skills and the voice of a blues man cursed with a Sgt. Pepper's wardrode, Swaso is a natural showman who only seems to get better." - Margaret Hair / Independent Weekly
"... It was alt. rock that I’ve longed to have make a return. Queens of the Stone Age would be proud. And Hugh Swaso’s guitar work was - hands down - the best of the night. Hopefully, Barbarella will play around here more." - Morgan Ellis / The Daily Tarheel
