I have no idea what their concert schedule is, you should check their myspace.

But yeah, they love boulder cuz the Fox theatre always gives em a crazy audience. They shot the music video for "Too Hot" at the Fox during one of the concerts i was at, and at the beginning of the black magic CD you hear a crowd going: "Swollen! Swollen!...." thats also at the Fox.
The music video was cool but they ended up playing "Too Hot" 7 times....haha. It only got annoying the last 2 or 3 times, but the rest were hype.

hahah lmao. that's sooo sick.\

So, i've only heard Black Magic and Bad Dreams

are those two of their better albums or are their other albums even better?

time for utorrent lol

Yes both groups use the beat, and at first i thought it was lame that the Swollen song was so similar to the J5 song, but then i learned that both groups have one of the same DJ's, and thats why

I thought you a had a swollen member before i came in. haha

Swollen Members, like i know i should like them more but they do nothing for me. Not jazzy or interesting enough to hold my attention. Doesn't get me into it at all and they sound sorta try hard to me.

Peace

..I'm pretty sure they don't? Neither Cut Chemist or Nu-Mark is in Swollen Members.. I just think Swollen got it from J5 who got it from the original break.
