Swimmer
Swimmer provided Bastard #1 with the worst moment of his radio career. This
group. led by a New Yorker who sang in a pretentious British accent, came to
perform a concert for our radio station. While setting up, they bitched and
complained that they couldn't hear out of their earpieces (even though they
were sent the specs of the sound system before hand). The station ended up
forcing them to play 4 songs at the end of the night to a crowd of like 6
people, even though a couple hundred were there when they should have gone
on stage. Afterwards, the lead singer was heard on a cell phone saying it
was the worst gig he's ever done. Bastard #1 had to be restrained from
beating the living shit out of him.
They have one album from 1999 on Maverick, called "Surreal." Sadly, it's
very good. They sued a band from the Midwest with the same name and
supposedly won to keep their name. But they dropped off the face of the
earth and haven't been heard from since. Bastard #1 likes to think that this
gig had something to do with it.
