SWIM TWO BIRDS


Swirling drums, yapping horns in between, an out of tune guitar „twangs“ against the groove and one just woke up vocalist take a little upstart: “All I Want Is You”. A tune, quick in the beginning, that lead into pure frenzy.The glorious seven from SWIM TWO BIRDS are living in northern germany’s freak town Bremen.

From time to time chaotic, always drifting, they shoot out song after song. Whose toes are stood still by hearing their sound must be musically crippled. Bright and cheery SWIM TWO BIRDS poaches between James-Bond-harmonies, Rockabilly and Grunge; thrifty but effective they illustrate their music; each song bring out new surprises.Frontman and Leader Achim Gaetjen is at the hub of the whole business over 10 years now. The title of their first release “Not Serious” is still valid. Serious is just their ability, but not borders, genres and expectations in mind. As brothers in alternative swing SWIM TWO BIRDS are marching forward constantly.

Line-Up:
Achim Gaetjen, alto sax; Ralf Benesch, baritone & tenor sax; Michael Gross, trumpet; Willy Hart, e-bass; Tammo Lüers, guitar; Achim Färber, drums; GU, vocals & poetry
