Yeah, I read an interview with Michael where he said that Christopher is a very dear friend of his wife's (and now his, presumably...) with whom he previously played music. Interesting.

And they've been playing together, what, two tours at least, and two albums? It seems like it must be professional, but I don't get it.

whenever I've seen Swans perform M. Gira has become visibly upset with Phil and Christopher. I'm beginning to think that it's merely a part of their act. Either that or they just thrive off of tension and discomfort. @newhumandesign, thank you for the photos

The bassist definitely, I'm less sure about the drummer. Sometimes he is just simply conducting them, as you might say, and I think he was also trying to fire up the drummer. But some wierd shit was going on with Michael and the bassist. Definitely a mood killer.

Indeed. The show was pretty good but there were some SHIT things going on. Sound problems, the side door was open (wtf? AND after Gira asked a couple times for the a/c to get turned off, which it never did. it's not like it's unheard of for Swans to play without the air conditioning). Just little things like that, that the venue could have done to make the show more enjoyable. Something was going on between the band members but I didn't catch what exactly. Does anyone know if there were pics/blogs posted anywhere about the show?

That would have been sweet if Gira wasn't clearly being a huge asshole to the bassist and drummer the entire time. I have never been to a show with so much tension on the stage. Killed the mood for me.
