   About Rainy Day Saints
Rainy Day Saints began as a real solo project of Dave Swanson (he of many bands including Guided By Voices, Cobra Verde, New Salem Witch Hunters, Dementia 13, The Cynics, Speaker/Cranker, The Reactions, Death Of Samantha, and so on) playing all the instruments, vocals, etc. Get Hip Records released the debut album, "Saturday's Haze" in 2004. The album received great reviews and made number 3 on the Top 10 of the year on Little Steven's Underground Garage show! Dave has put together a band comprised of old friends, all veterens of many Cleveland bands. In other words...they know how to rock! The second CD, "Diamond Star Highway", also received many rave reviews! The band's third CD, as yet untitled, will be released sometime in the fair year of Two Thousand and Eight! Please stay tuned!
