Swami and The Bed Of Nails

Plus support The Mudd Club

This event has passed

A group of four people sat on a sofa with another person lying on their lap sat against a wall with graffiti.

Dive into the exhilarating world of Swami And The Bed Of Nails whose sound is rooted in the early sounds of punk rock and rock n roll. They offer an immediate blast of joy that celebrates our time on earth and nostalgia for a past that most likely never happened.

Frontman Swami John Reis, known for his work with Hot Snakes, Rocket From The Crypt, and Drive Like Jehu, leads this dynamic ensemble. Joining him are Tommy Kitsos on bass, Joe Guevara on piano and synthesizer, Richard Larson on drums, and Mark Murino on second guitar.

Swami And The Bed Of Nails aims to bring hope that the future will bring us more noise and many more parties. Catch them live for a wild set featuring songs about lusting for hot dogs, getting electrocuted  and charlatans disguised as angels.
