Swirlies
The Whole Music Club
Minneapolis, MN
5/14/96
By request, here’s the Swirlies set from their show in Minneapolis back in 1996. I had the foresight to drag my tape recorder to the club on my bike in order to record it. I knew this show was going to be one that warranted the effort to get a soundboard recording. There’s also a video circulating of the same show which you can see a clip of if you dig around in the archives.
Setlist:
1. In Harmony New Found Freedom
2. Two Girls Kissing
3. The Vehicle Is Invisible
4. Jeremy Parker
5. Her Life Of Artistic Freedom
6. Upstairs
7. Sounds Of Sebring
8. Tall Ships

My friend Michelle was a fanatical Swirlies fan and I became one as well after she made me a mix tape with a bunch of their songs on it. She was also the one who convinced me to put on their show when their booking agent called me up. This song is from that show which I helped to put on at The Whole Music Club on the University of Minnesota campus. It was always great to be able bankroll shows of bands that I like with student service fees. Swirlies were touring for the “They Spent Their Wild…” record that had just come out and it was an amazing performance. I saw them again about a year ago and they still put on a great show.
