Swans at Bumbershoot?


Seattle's Bumbershoot music festival (August 30 to September 1) isn't scheduled to release their lineup until May 8, when the announcement will be made at something called the Pink and Purple Pickwick Party at Nuemos, featuring, obviously, Pickwick (the best band you've never heard of).

All we can do in the meantime, however, is speculate, but looking at the schedule for Swans, who'll be touring this summer behind their terrific new album To Be Kind (AOTY, possibly best album ever), I see they have no dates scheduled after July 6 until some West Coast shows starting September 2 in Denver, followed by September 4 in Seattle and September 6 in Portland, so it's not too much of a stretch to imagine that they could squeeze in a Bumbershoot set sometime between August 30 and September 1.
