Swan Island "Night Owl"

by
Trish Bendix

Swan Island may be on hiatus, but their indie rock is definitely still worth listening to. The quintet's video for "Night Owl" shows you why: their infectious energy is undeniable. They've shared the stage with the now defunct Sleater-Kinney, which makes me think a reunion tour would be a great idea for both Portland bands.

    Isn't Mirah from Portland, too?

    If those three went on tour together, I might just die.

    Amazingness.

    Until just nooow..and they're on hiatus?  DANG, I dig the sound, and looks like a group of cute girls.  I'm sad I never got to see these girls with Sleater-Kinney, that would've been an awesome show.

    I saw this band a couple of years ago when they opened for The Gossip. I enjoyed their performance so much I bought their CD. The lead singer is pretty cute, too, I think she went onstage to sing backup for Beth Ditto. I'm sad to hear they are on hiatus!
