Musik<p>SPACE TRAVEL ROCK'N ROLL… … can only mean one thing; the Return of SWERVEDRIVER. This time playing their classic debut RAISE in its entirety, plus an extended set of SWERVEDRIVER classics.<br> <br>Sydney power-duo Chimers guest on all east coast shows with psych-rock trio Brown Spirits also joining the action for Sydney and Melbourne and Lake Mammoth opening in Fremantle.<br> <br>Born in 1989 out of Oxford UK, the band formerly known as Shake Appeal settled on their new moniker in time enough for Creation Records impresario Alan McGhee - on the recommendation of Ride guitarist Mark Gardener - to sign them on the strength of their demo. Those initial tracks would form much of the debut ep Son of Mustang Ford featuring the classic of the same name quickly followed by two further eps Rave Down and Sandblasted before, in 1991 landing on their debut full length LP Raise.<br><br>The album quickly became quickly a defining sound of early 90s underground alternative rock. Energised and inspired by the guitar heavy sounds of My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr, Husker Du and the like, Swervedriver perfected their own shimmering, guitar-clashing juggernaut with a uniquely British flavour firmly intact, with Melody Maker calling ‘Raise’ one of the “truly great albums of the year.”<br><br>"As an opening statement, Swervedriver couldn’t have been more sonically eloquent than Raise. This record was a blinding assault of guitars and their afterburn. In 1991, few records before it had both the power and dynamic reach.” - Trouser Press<br><br>"A perfect amalgam of shoegaze texture, power pop anthem and grunge heaviness” - Signal/Noise</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><hr><p style="text-align: center;"><em>We honour and acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people as Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live.
