The Sweptaways have put on their cocktail dresses and are standing in the
bar, batting their fake eyelashes. Glasses are glistening and the ice is
tinkling. One after another the guests drop in: Robyn, HowlinÆ Pelle, Asha
Ali, Moneybrother, Nina Ramsby, Jens Lekman, Bj÷rn Olsson, Simone Rubi,
Uje Brandelius and Sir Eric Beyond.
Welcome to The Sweptaways Show!
THE SWEPTAWAYS
The Sweptaways are thirty women in coordinated costumes who sing
choir-arranged versions of pop tunes, and who always long for the stage
and their extravagant live performances. Their debut album Ooh Aah and the
EP Cry Cry Christmas were released in 2006, followed by the EP A Christmas
Party with The Sweptaways & Friends 2007. On April 15th 2009 their second
album is released, The Sweptaways Show, where the choir ladies have been
honored by visits from celebrity guests.
We are a crazy lady in bikepants and plume swaying safely on high heels.
We are a distinguished gentleman tipsy on portwine. We are women without
borders. We like wearing things on our heads. Parrots, foilage, owls, high
hats, turbans. We like pineapple, spandex, feathers, gold, pumps, green
forests, love and respect. Our wardrobes are as big as our ambitions. We
are one body with a gigantic heart and thirty brains. We never cease to
amaze ourselves. We are a happening. A festival.
A package-deal. We are many surprises all in one. We are a coverband, a
band of pirates, a band of pearls.
