What a great band they were...I had a chance to see Karen Tweed & Ian Carr at Freight & Salvage in Berkeley back in 1999, around the time the first Swåp CD came out here in the States. They were wonderful, & I had to seriously talk myself out of quitting my job & leaving my wife so I could move to the UK and stalk Karen on a full-time basis. There are 4 Swåp CDs: * Swåp (Northside) * [sic] (Northside) * du da (Northside) * Mosquito Hunter (Amigo Music) They are all excellent. my favorite band!
Brian Finley I know this is the first track off their self titled. This album is still played every road trip I make. That includes trips to the grocery store... Great, great band.
Brian Finley - Yes! When I am in Sweden (doing the music and dance summer festival thing) I tell the Swedes "You people don't know what you have here! This music could stand up against anything anywhere in the world!". They give me a look like I'm an odd specimen in a museum....

So sweet! There's nothing better than a nice Polska (well, maybe a nice Slängpolska^^)
Jesus, this is good music, and about 8 people on the planet are aware of it's existence or even care.
