Swann Danger began as a two piece in Spring 2002 with Andy taking on bass, drum machine + sampler duties and Cynthia on vocals and guitar. Both were members of the band Heart of Snow, which put out an EP on GSL and broke up by early 2002. In 2003 Swann Danger released a self titled EP on their own Custody NIght School label, which was later released on vinyl through Release the Bats records in Sweden. The band toured Europe in the summer of 2005 and played shows up and down the west coast as well as in New York City. Their full length album “Deep North” was recorded down in Los Angeles with Robert “Joey” Perales replacing the drum machine. The album was recorded by Pete Lyman (Infrasonic Sound) and Skot Brown (Kempton House) and released on Custody Night School in the early half of 2007. In April 2007, Jim Andersen (Needles, Year Future) joined the band on drums. The band toured Europe in the summer of 2007 behind the vinyl release of “Deep North” on Cul-de-Sac Komitee (Germany), as well as a west coast tour. In 2008, a second EP was released on CDr and later vinyl and more touring ensued. New songs have been recorded and Swann Danger are looking at releasing another full length record as well as continuing to tour in the US and Europe.
Dalmacio Von Diamond & The Enochian Keys

David started a record label and asked Dalmacio to put something out on it. Dalmacio was in a band at the time that was slowly fading. Dalmacio befriended a young spry figure named Moribund who so happened to be fitted with a crude recording apparatus that suited Dalmacio’s idea of what these yet written songs should be captured on. After weeks of recording in Moribund’s bedroom and pleased with the outcome, said crude apparatus died in an instant flash, killing with itself, the entirety of Dalmacio’s album. After a few tears and an expensive bottle of scotch, the two set out to re-record the album. Many months later, after Dalmacio had quit playing in yet another failed band, he decided to gather a small team of trusted allies with similar sound and vision and great style. The first of said gentlemen was Abraham Jay, whom he had previously played with in second failed band. The pair played a host of shows: coffee shops, street corners, living rooms and the radio. Tickled by the response, the two decided to add a few more dashing gentlemen to the fray. This, just about the time that David was pressing the album Dalmacio and Moribund had worked so hard on. A story as old as time, the search for a drummer. Tried many drummers, all sweet gentlemen. But little did Dalmacio know, Moribund, whom helped on a few drum tracks on the album itself held a bitter feeling towards Dalmacio, that he had not asked Moribund himself to take the charge of Drumming. Moribund, a dashing rakish figure and well suited for any job was the last on Dalmacio’s list for he had thought so highly of Moribund, that he thought Moribund would be offended by the offer. But alas, Moribund was gleeful to accept the charge and be deployed side by side with such gentlemen. Upon hearing the news, Abraham Jay was struck with a brilliant idea himself. At this he dashed at the door of Dalmacio, with index towards the gods: I have the perfect man for guitar! Enter Casey Geisen: A lean and wise figure. Reluctant to the task, it took every bit of listening to the album and a few quarts of Jay’s blood, but Casey was resolved in his decision to jump into the fire. After a few rehearsals, we realized we were missing an integral frequency. Upon noticing this David tasked himself to join the fray and picked up a bass guitar and said, nay thee worry fine lads, I will join you arm and arm into the abyss. And so went the first push. The Enochian Keys were born in the bloodlight. But something still was not right. Bogged down by the guitar, Dalmacio sought flight. Ram, master of sound and a keen blackjack player offered his services. Then we knew, we were on our way.
