The Swans started with sweetness and light and 'Blood and Honey' as Jarboe crooned over soft, simplistic keyboards, lulling all and sundry into a false sense of secur- ity. The illusion was devastatingly shattered on the arrival of bass, guitar and drums as people recoiled in submission from the over-sized PA. Having announced themselves, playing material predomi- nantly from their 'Children Of God' LP, they destroyed every surviving ethic or 'rock and roll', little understood by certain factions of the audience who screamed for more volume and more flesh, especially certain parts of Jarboe.
