___________________________________________________________________ Swann Danger began as a two piece in Spring 2002 with Andy taking on bass, drum machine + sampler duties and Cynthia on vocals and guitar. Both were members of the band Heart of Snow, which put out an EP on GSL and broke up by early 2002. In 2003 Swann Danger released a self titled EP on their own Custody NIght School label, which was later released on vinyl through Release the Bats records in Sweden. The band toured Europe in the summer of 2005 and played shows up and down the west coast as well as in New York City. Their full length album “Deep North” was recorded down in Los Angeles with Robert “Joey” Perales replacing the drum machine. The album was recorded by Pete Lyman (Infrasonic Sound) and Skot Brown (Kempton House) and released on Custody Night School in the early half of 2007. In April 2007, Jim Andersen (Needles, Year Future) joined the band on drums. The band toured Europe in the summer of 2007 behind the vinyl release of “Deep North” on Cul-de-Sac Komitee (Germany), as well as a west coast tour. In 2008, a second EP was released on CDr and later vinyl and more touring ensued. New songs have been recorded and Swann Danger are looking at releasing another full length record as well as continuing to tour in the US and Europe. ___________________________________________________________________
“This Oakland trio comes off as a metallic version of early Killing Joke, with a vocalist who sounds like she learned her craft from Siouxsie Sioux and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath…” SS Z GUN, No 3 ___________________________________________________________________
“Swann Danger is a trio from Oakland that plays dark, heavy, pretty, minimal rock. Sorta sounds like SIOUXSIE singing for SWANS and that’s pretty great as far as I’m concerned…..Two-thirds of the band also played in HEART OF SNOW …” (MU) MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL, issue311 ____________________________________________________________________
“After a few years as a drum-machine backed two=piece, Andy Zevallos and Cynthia Mansourian have joined forces with Jim Andersen (former drummer of The Pattern and Year Future) to make an extraordinary EP of dark post-rock. Possibly the best song on the record is the haunting “Siren Song” which shows off Andy’s talents on the bass and Cynthia’s rich vocals to their fullest. Backed by just a tambourine, the bass sounds like Three Mile Pilot’s Zac at his finger - picking best. The minimal pounding of the last track, “Thin and Gold”, uses space and delay just as effectively as the opening track “You Were Down” uses relentless and almost breathless pounding. In addition to the bass, drums and heavily effected guitar, there’s all these weird little shimmers and buzzes floating around in the background of the songs, like gothic insects. Recommended.” AQUARIUS RECORDS ____________________________________________________________________

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.
