Does anyone remember Swell?

Ah man, what sad news to wake up to. David Freel of Swell has passed.

RIP - great songwriter.

I'm going to dig out Too Many Days and buy 41

Oh shit... Wasn't he running pSycho-sPecific Records? All those repressings etc. I got the sense he was doing that all himself.

I don't have facebook, so I was only able to see a tribute post underneath a pop up demanding I log in.

Really sad about this!

Having a good time with 41, very different from Too Many Days and I'm intrigued by the people saying they were quite varied

he was doing the repressings himself. his family have said they are going to continue fulfilling orders if possible, btw.

Wow can’t believe I missed Swell when they played Houston! When was that?

yeah I really wish they were doing an SF show, weird that they aren't frankly. I only got to see Swell (real Swell, with Freel) twice, good shows.

They played Houston sometime in 96. It would have been for Too Many Days Without Thinking.

Jealous of you guys. I emailed them and heard back from Sean*. He* said the European tour in April is likely the last time they'll play this music.

*The email was written as if by someone who clearly doesn't have perfect English. Sean is from America, right?

They have a lot of European ties. I know someone in the band or crew was Dutch because they translated my last name for me on the tour w/ mazzy star.

sean is def from the US so that must have been from someone involved in booking the tour
