Bringin' Home the Funk

Coast to coast we go! After a sparkling debut run through California, we’re excited to hand deliver the Swift Tech Funk to our home state of Pennsylvania throughout September. 

We’ll be kicking off the month with a two night stand in the Lehigh Valley with appearances at the SteelStacks and a debut at the FunHouse with local rockers Bushmans Blend. We’re also excited to join Jeff Thomas & the All Volunteer Army on September 27th at the brand new Ardmore venue, the Ardmore Music Hall. Check out the full September schedule below and don’t hesitate to drop us a line at Info@SwiftTechnique.com. 

In other news, standby for the OFFICIAL release of our new EP, “you boys be aight”. Limited editions are currently available at live shows and the album will be officially released through all digital outlets in late September. Our track, “Let Me Get That Bike” has already been receiving airplay from WXPN and we always truly appreciate when you request to hear us on the air! Check out the details @ WXPN.

Don't You Want To Look At Us? Tour, Part II

Friends, Fam and Fans!

We’re overwhelmed with excitement to announce the OFFICIAL second leg of the, “Don’t You Want To Look At Us? Tour, Part II”! This tour, however, will be unlike ANY other tour in our Swift Technique history. ..

That’s right folks, we’re headed to uncharted territory with our FINEST recordings to date in hand. Thanks to the continued support from our Kickstarter campaign, we, the brothers Swift, will be debuting throughout California beginning July 30^th to support our new EP, “you boys be aight”! 

With major stops currently confirmed for San Francisco, Fresno, San Diego and Los Angeles, you never know when and where we’ll pop up during this monumental run, which will extend to August 10^th. You can follow the madness on Twitter @SwiftTechnique, and individual members @AndyBreezel, @JakeyLowEnd, @BrianBlaker1, @RichMoneyDrums @RittenhousePR & @DaddyFischBone. You can also get more info on the official Facebook Event! 

We almost forgot to mention, we’ll also be travelling with the newest member of our Swift Technique family, vocalist Chelsea ViaCava. She absolutely CRUSHED it when we opened for Soulive, so we just had to bring her along. You may notice her in the BRAND new press shot below…

Swift Technique Unleashes New EP and National Tour

Friends, Family and Fans -

A pleasant good day to you and yours! It has been a whirlwind ride for us in Swift Technique over the last five years and we sincerely thank you all for your continued support. We are extremely excited to announce that the plans are in motion for a United States National Tour in support of a six song EP that is set to be released in May.

In July 2012, we had the incredible honor to record some of our newest material at Elm Street Studios with producer Rob Hyman (The Hooters, Cyndi Lauper, Joan Osborne) and engineer John Senior. We feel that these are undoubtedly our best recordings to date. The tracks are completely mixed and now there's only a few steps left.

It is at this time that we are turning to you, our closest family and friends, to ask for a little support that can help take Swift Technique to the next level...

Beginning on March 1st, we launched a six week Kickstarter campaign to help raise funds for the final steps of this project. You can check out the site and in-depth information HERE - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1758505557/swift-technique-unleashes-studio-ep-and-national-t. We are already 25% towards our goal and gaining momentum everyday! Specifically, we are raising funds to complete the following steps - 

• Radio quality Mastering with engineer, Chris Zurzolo, of Medicine Man Studios
• Album artwork by artist TBA
• Album Duplication/Distribution
• National Tour Travel Support

Make sure to check out the video below for some more info!

We intend to deliver Philly's Finest Funk to your hometown - wherever that may be - throughout 2013! No donation is too small - even $5 will help immensely!

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or thoughts about this project at Info@SwiftTechnique.com. We hope to see all of you very soon!

Peace and Love,

Jake, Andy, Fish, Brian, Greg, Jay and Rich
