The duo of Bill DeMain and Molly Felder draw inspiration from their favorite music - The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Dusty Springfield, Burt Bacharach, Ennio Morricone, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Everything But The Girl, Rufus Wainwright - and make it into something that’s familiar and fresh, timeless and tuneful. As MOJO Magazine puts it, "Their songs are an imaginative line in classic pop."
Since forming Swan Dive in 1993, Bill (guitar, vocals) and Molly (vocals, percussion) have been connecting with fans both in their hometown of Nashville and in far-off Japan and Korea, where they’ve enjoyed stellar success - four top 10 singles, many television and radio appearances, videos on MTV and multi-city tours.
In the U.S. they’ve appeared on Late Night With Conan O’Brien, and opened shows for Norah Jones, Pernice Brothers, Jill Sobule, Jane Siberry and Sixpence None The Richer. They’ve also placed songs on TV programs such as Felicity and Pop Stars, and in the film National Lampoon’s Gold Diggers.
They’ve twice won the Best Pop Album in the Independent Music Awards - for Swan Dive in 2000 and June in 2002.
Their latest album, Until, was released in May 2007.

'Ello Bloke and Bird! Any chance you might come and play on our tiny island? It's rather nice here if you happen to love the rain! I'm still alive but tend to facebook more than myspace, but always try to check in once in a while to hear the splendid jazza-nova-bossa-beats from the good people of Swandive!
Oh, it's 2am in the morning and I am smiling from ear to ear, as I have just heard "Circle" and I absolutely love it!!!!! I see you are playing Bluebird tonight. Shame my teleporter isn't working as I would love to be there, Bud in hand toasting the marvel of you guys kickin' it oldskool!!!! Good luck, my heart is with you always xxxx
I traveled south asia last month. If I should have known you guys visited in Thailand, I would be there. Missing your show is so sad. I will check your schedule out often.
How was the concert in Thailand? I couldn't make a longer vacation so I had to get back here early and miss your concert overthere. My friends said it's awesome Jazz musics festival.
Hi Swan Dive...lovely music...I can hear a Paddy McAloon sense of melody which the world needs more of!...Do you know A Girl Called Eddy's music?...All the best for now...Ashley
