Swans Michael Gira Interview

"As far as playing playing festivals and everything, I feel like that’s what I was born to do. I’m an entertainer, hopefully in the best sense. Nina Simone was an entertainer. Bob Dylan was an entertainer. Anyone that can occupy a piece of music and make the air catch on fire at that moment is a true entertainer. That’s how I view it. I love doing it. That’s why I’m on earth."

— Swans’ Michael Gira– read Brandon Stosuy’s entire interview with the experimental noise rock icon here.
