NEW WEBSITE
Version 3.0 ONLINE!

Thank you for checking out this page. Remnants of the last version of the website, version 2.0, is still accessible to the public as part of our extended, current website. The programming for the old website was so old…not everything warranted replication to the new website.

The SWIL PROPOGANDA MACHINE has moved on to the new website system, with Archives for 2018 and 2019 still available under the umbrella of the older website.

Items that have moved to new website:

~Friends of SWIL page
~SWIL SHOW calendar page
~BAND MEMBER information pages
~Much, much, more!

Its quite entertaining…actually.

The rest of this webpage is the original content from this link…have a SWIL day………………..

First and foremost - now I know what specifically to say here. It is no longer "Thank you Portland" - I have data that shows this instead needs to be more accurately stated as "Thank you World"

Data shows interest in SWIL now global phenomena!

No seriously - China? England?

Me love SWIL long time

Why are users (individuals accessing the SWILnation.com website and 'browsing') accessing the website in these countries? Are they real people?

Why are the bulk of people visiting the SWILnation.com website doing so……sooooo, so late at night (PST)????

"So what you saying?"

What I am trying to say is SWIL injected Google ANALyticz into the website.

This won't hurt a bit…

With the right software and know-how (this took time) - we were able to inject it throughout existing website and from this point forward. It was as easy as cut/paste - once you know what to do it almost always is…right???

SWIL is watching U…

Anywho - This is some crazy, POWERFUL stuff. WOW. There is so much user information relevant to visiting the SWILnation.com website it is staggering. Yes, according to Google ANALyticz - someone visited the website with a reported location of China.

GET YOUR ASSEZ READY TO ROCK CHINA!

A good friend in another band inquired about the need for a standalone website in the age of Facebook…well - my response somewhere on the 'top 5 why' list as to why is now Google ANALyticz.

Just an example…for now…

Regardless of the accidental hit from China - Google ANALyticz is telling us with concrete data that Portland, and the surrounding area, is our home.

Thank you for the curiosity and support!

Our commitment within this blog is to of course talk about all things SWIL, hopefully put a smile on your face, maybe give you a show to look forward to, SWIL or friends of SWIL…and by that we mean SUPPORT A WHOLE SCENE.



Google ANALyticz also provides data relevant to HOW a user accessed a site (cell phone, personal computer, tablet, etc.)…instead of a graph though on this screen the data provided this for our website:

I will say is I am glad mobile scaling issue(s) are fixed!

Facebook provides similar data, but nothing, nothing like Google ANALyticz. I can't recommend this enough.

OK - moving on…



I also want to throw this out there - Since my birthday falls at the end of February, and don't really have any concrete plans to celebrate my internal odometer clicking over one more year - I am going to make it - even if just for myself - I am going to make the 3/3/18 show my Birthday Show.

Lastly -

I want to talk about an idea that hatched the other day.

Welcome to SWIL casino and resorts!

SWIL, in collaboration with GOB, are exploring the idea of having a raffle. Tickets for the raffle, or let's call it a goal at this time, might be $5.00 dollars per ticket and 5 tickets with $20 dollar purchase. We shall see, NOTHING confirmed at this time.

OK - from the peanut gallery - I can hear it now…

"But you already overcharged me $5.00 doll hairs at the door to get in and see this rock show/comedy act - WTF!!??"

Good question.

"Ya can't win if ya don't play"

The answer is simple. Most members of SWIL and GOB have a long established drinking problem, once a month we hold a fund raiser - last month we sold our bodies on Powell and 82nd, this month its a raffle but I swear it's for a good cause…

YOU can do it SamDawg!!

NEVERMIND - that never came to light. Reality is the leaders of both bands held a brainstorming session for the raffle- it was supposed to be 'safe' with all ideas accepted - well yeah right the above scenario was my idea and I was publicly mocked and ridiculed. Unbelievable.

Anyway - the idea that did become the final idea is this. We want to support our friend Kit Bonhannon - who is the owner of Good Earth Guitars specializing in beautiful custom artwork, tweaking guitar looks overall to establish a theme, and can also provide other guitar work services.

This is NOT the raffle guitar - TBA

At any rate, Good Earth Guitars will be donating a guitar to be raffled as 1st place item. Second place will be 2 Blazer tickets, seated right next to each other, game date/time to be decided.

This is NOT the raffle guitar - TBA

Nothing is finalized but basically money would go to Kit to pay for guitar and money would go to pay for Blazers tickets. We know how many tickets are needed to break even - and although not confirmed as a go, it is also not confirmed as dead. Excess money I am guessing would go to Kit to assist with guitar costs and throw him some scratch during these challenging times…stay tuned!

We shall see - we shall see. Without question you can assume this about the raffle - the winner will be chosen at the END of the show…must be present to win…therefore you will also get your ass rocked by Tiger Touch.

Bottom line: This show is going to be a fun one!

~ Thanks ~
