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.

SWIL

supports local
Muzik!

Made it all the way up to Vantucky, WA to see a show Saturday night. It also allowed myself and The Holman (50% of SWIL supporting live, lokal, yokal muzik…) to check out a new (2 me) club that is Billy Blues!

So many emotions…..

…so little time!



UNFORTUNATELY these are my only GOB captures from the night…including NO videos. Wow - took me a while to go from amateur reporter to smart-ass but I eventually got there. It doesn't help when you have to get on stage, in the middle of the set - to rectify a fallen cymbal because the drummer knocked it over! It also doesn't help that you are finishing all their drinks they left on the table they were using before they took the stage. I'm not proud….

SWIL played a show with R. Morris - nice cat!

Bass player trying to get drummer to flash crowd abdominal 6-pack

To be clear there was NO 6-pack flashing on the stage. This baffled and possibly disappointed many that were present with me in the peanut gallery. Finally I could not take it any more - thinking what is there to be ashamed of?!

So - I flashed my own six pack I had with me…

MrSamson supported Madwagon by purchasing a t-shirt. I already have a GOB shirt and they told me that was the only XXXXXL t-shirt they ordered & it was for me {BIG DAWG} special order stylee. Right after I bought my Madwagon t-shirt - within 90 seconds I sold another one for them to someone that had kick-ass t-shirt envy in their eyes!

Hell yeah…
every day I'm hustling…

PROPOGANDA at Billy Blues!!


IMG_1478

Cool show posters!

This will be fun - I will provide links to the Facebook e-vites for these shows (hopefully they work)!

Support local muzik - follow these links for more information and (hopefully) quality propoganda about these shows (in support of show flyer propoganda above):

September 21 show

October 20 show

October 12 show


I actually have the 12OCT18 show in my personal calendar because there is an elevated probability I will go to support. We shall see if I make it…but I encourage you to go to ANY of these shows if you are interested.

Maybe I will even see you there October 12th!!??



~ GREAT TIME - GREAT SHOW. They claim to be 'original rock' bands…but a bird told me there were some covers too. Muzik is muzak - Just keep rocking with your socks out!~
