SWERVE

Skot Schtickla

Swerve has been a part of the Sydney music scene, in particular the experimental music scene for as long as I've been around of it. I first met him in the mid nineties sometime as his label had organized gigs which they had asked my band at the time to be a part of and also I had witnessed insane shows that contained Swerve and other acts from his label Dual Plover that I'd never seen or heard anything like before! Generally challenging musically in many ways but also also visually spectacular and energetic unlike a lot of 'noise' shows which can be great to listen to but dull to look at. I noticed that never with Swerve or any of the associated acts you would get this, they always went off in some way and had fun.
