[skelter]

Rock Crew presents The Jimmy Swift Band this Thursday, May 5 at Elixir.

Tickets are $8 at Zap Records, Brian's Record Option, Renaissance Music, UBS Exchange, Elixir and on-line at www.rockcrew.ca

In the four years since their inception, The Jimmy Swift Band has gained a reputation as one of the hardest working bands in Canada. After years of touring, two studio albums, and their most recent live effort The Rebirth of Hooch, The JSB have built and extremely loyal fan base from coast to coast and beyond.

Half of The JSB’s repertoire consists of organic instrumental material with influences ranging from Daft Punk to Pink Floyd, while the other half displays mature songwriting, powerful vocals, and memorable melodies within the framework of concise arrangements. Although both elements of the band’s sound are starkly different, they combine the two effortlessly to bring the audience on an unforgettable journey with each show.

The Jimmy Swift Band have been an integral part of the Canadian independent music scene for the past few years. Their CDs have each sold more than 7000 copies, and fans regularly travel hundreds of kilometers to see the band perform. This has made them a hot commodity in the club circuit - selling out rooms from Halifax to Vancouver. JSB songs have appeared in movies, television commercials, skateboarding videos, and have charted on many Canadian radio stations.

2005 will see The Jimmy Swift Band return to the studio for the highly anticipated follow up to 2003's Onward Through The Fog. With a wealth of new material and experience behind them, the JSB are poised to become a household name in Canadian music.
