| abstract | - Swasticow make music, Swasticow know where you live, Swasticow know how many of their records you haven't yet bought. Hanz Fredrick Olo and Vern Ludvig Icular make up the experimental Austrian Antisemetic dance troupe known as Swasticow. Swasticow spat in the face of taste, and shat out basslines that have literally reshaped modern society. Doltovan a mutual friend, introduced the two in 87, what followed was a peaceful drug fueled night followed by the release of the greatest song to charge out of Austria since Ride of the Valkyires. The song, "Gate of Time" brought down the Berlin wall, (Swasticow later publicly aplogised for this) the song's creator Doltovan was also tragically brought down, as he fell into a coma moments after the song was recorded. The boys grew up on the same street, but didn't actually meet until University. “I might have found this funny when I was 12... probably not though.”~ Oscar Wilde “Swasticow kicked my dog”~ Oscar Wilde “Swasticow aren't antisemtic, but they're open to new things.” ~ Tom Verini “Listening to this band is like listening to the RosettaSstone, if it could play. It's all going on, even though it looks a bit like nonsense and without it we wouldn't have a clue what the ancient egyptians were on about. Good tunes as well.” ~ Nigel Waters
