Swervedriver

A live evening with the British band Swervedriver, marking 35 years since the release of their debut album, Raise. The band is also taking part in a signing session on this visit to Liverpool.

Swervedriver is a British alternative rock group formed in Oxford in 1989 and released on Creation Records. Their debut studio album, Raise, appeared in 1991, and this Liverpool show celebrates its 35th anniversary. The band is presented as a shoegaze act, and the material for this event places them at the meeting point of UK shoegaze and American alternative rock after grunge.

The evening combines a live performance with a signing, so fans can see the group on stage and meet them afterwards. The programme centres on the album that launched the band's recorded career, and the anniversary gives the night its focus.

The concert takes place at District, a concert and performance venue at Jordan Street in Liverpool. It will suit listeners who follow shoegaze and the early work of Swervedriver, and those who want to hear the songs from Raise performed in the band's home-country style of guitar-driven rock.
