Swallows May 16, 2007

Swallows, artrock duo from Portland, Oregon comes to play their favorite California town, Arcata.

Swallows are Em Brownlowe (vocals, guitar, keys) and Jon Miller (drums, melodica). They formed in the Summer of 2004 when they converged in Portland - Jon from the East Coast - and Em from San Diego. Originally playing under the moniker of Dirty Shirley, their foot stomping rock and roll sound quickly morphed into new sonic territory. They changed their name to Swallows and began writing new music. The duo use unexpected methods, non-traditional techniques and a queer aesthetic to form their songs. Swallows songs are informed by blues, indie-rock, surf-rock and the rejection of pre-conception : myspace.com/theswallows :
