[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif]Yellow Swans, fresh from their Free Noise Tour in the UK, (a unique collaboration featuring major names from the burgeoning noise and free jazz scenes) will make their Dublin debut in the intimate settings of the Boom Boom Room, with help from Lakker, Bullets & Quetzolcoatl.[/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif]Be prepared for the Yellow Swans live show, while being both beautiful and terrifying, expect at the least... some synapse-frying white noise, hypno-noise voodoo, slow creeping doom, dark-ambient vibes, metallic clanking, terrifying tarpit canyons of drone, chunks of brilliantly bilious bluster, high-end oscillations, raspy screams and psychedelic qualities of guitars feeding back, distorting through a bunch of effect pedals...[/FONT]

[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif]Yellow Swans is an American experimental electronic noise band from Portland, Oregon. The duo are renowned for their improvisional approach to music, creating an unique experience for each live performance. They describe their music as "a constantly evolving mass of psychedelic noise that is both physically arresting and psychically liberating". The band consists of Pete Swanson (vocals, drum machine, electronics) and Gabriel Mindel Saloman (guitar, feedback, electronics).[/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif]The duo formed in Portland, Oregon in 2001. From here they established their own collective art label, JYRK where the band have self-released several CD-Rs and cassettes of their music. With frequent touring and shows with artists including Tussle, Xiu Xiu and Japanther, the duo moved to Oakland, California for two years. In 2003, they recorded their debut album, Bring The Neon War Home, and continued to tour across the USA.[/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif]Their debut album garnered much recognition and soon the band were invited to perform shows across Europe, Australia and New Zealand. In October 2005, Numerical Thief, a Melbourne-based label, debuted the release of the band's second studio album, Psychic Seccession. It was later re-mastered and released on LOAD Records the same year, and then released on 12" vinyl by Weird Forest in 2006.[/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif]Throughout their existence, the duo have used the moniker of D. Yellow Swans, where the "D" can be substituted for any word beginning with the letter. This began as a joke when the band formed, and became "a fun take on anti-branding...[it's] not really meant to be elistist though". They have used several different names over the past six years, as can be seen in their discography, but are most commonly referred to as simply Yellow Swans.[/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif]Currently, the duo are working on their third studio album, to be released in 2007 on LOAD Records, also home to Lightening Bolt, Khanate Noxagt, Arab On Radar, etc...[/FONT]
