Early 2008 has seen the formation, fruition and near stagnation of one of the world’s most uniquely idiosyncratic, enigmatic punk outfits. What is known of highly eccentric Tyneside based “SHITSWARM” follows:
Shielded by a cloak of suspicion and anonymity, it is rumoured that the four band members do not acknowledge one another's real names because they do not actually know them. Their pseudonyms are “GOBSHITE” (vocals), “BIGHEED” (guitar), “PSYCHO” (bass), and “THICKIE” (drums).
Their one and only interview, with Australia's most famous former prostitute, jaded hack Daisy Gorge, was conducted in full beekeeper garb so none of their features were visible.
The current direction of “SHITSWARM” was altered somewhat by the band’s decision to abandon all plans that would involve live performance. Accusing long-standing acts of participating in an ongoing nostalgia circus, not to mention their total refusal to play in any venue that actively enforces a smoking ban, as well as a reluctance to be photographed by mobile phones, “SHITSWARM” has issued the following statement: “When playing live is virtually dead, why bother?”
Seemingly as self-restricting as their no-gig policy, is their uncompromising decision concerning distribution. They have chosen not to seek the backing of any record label with major corporate links, who they feel would be using their message as part of a separate programme of manufactured dissent.
Although often ostracised for what has been described as a highly cynical attitude, coupled with a contentious world view that many have found challenging in the extreme, the members of “SHITSWARM” are at present marginalised even further, but satisfied that they have established their own ground rules by standing firm on their own said ground, totally in keeping with the original stated aims and objectives of punk!
i see b. g. is abit not amused like,i do hope you have not been watching GET CARTER again,its a film,not real life,hahaha....i love you guys,from the hoe in my bottom.......robot phlem.ne4..
Yes the Pistols did re-form. Reformation of a band that had previously played live and existed in the real world. The assumption was based on fact, the fact that you released statement 2b.
the plot thickens ! I actually got in touch with Tim from Neon about a gig and I've pasted his reply below for you to read -------------------- Hi Gary,
Thanks for your e-mails. Shitswarm are one of the best bands I've heard in years. Unfortunately, all of the Neon members are scattered from here to New Zealand and there's no possibility of us doing gigs in the near future. We just get together to record here and there. Sorry! --------------- wouldnt be a relative, would he? gary
Can we assume from Shitswarm's latest blog/news article, that this ensemble, is in fact, never going to grace a stage anywhere at any point. What a drag, we were looking forward to the support spot......or not ?
