FRIDAY, JUNE 13 @ COLLECTIVE ARTS (11PM)
SWiiMS is an indie rock outfit from Toronto, Canada. Singer Mai Diaz Langou & Guitarist Colin Thompson started writing songs together in late 2018. Blending a mixture of his fuzzy, jangly, swirling guitar tones with her elegant poetry, textured melodies and languid voice. Bassist Cian O'Ruanaidh joined shortly after, bringing a fresh voice, unique blend of influences and hooky bass lines to the group. Craig McCann rounded out the line up, joining the band in the winter of 2024.
Drawing influence from a diverse spectrum of artists, SWiiMS blends elements of 80's New Wave, 90's Shoegaze, Indie Rock, Brit Pop and Dream Pop together to arrive at a sound that is all their own. SWiiMS released their debut LP "Into The Blue Night" in the spring of 2023. The record has enjoyed critical success and radio play, charting on the NACC college charts for 12 straight weeks.
