About Me

Loveswing began in 1994 under the name The Tantric Loveswing. Whilst performing at their first gig they were raided by the vice squad due to a tip-off that there might be some "serious sexual deviancy going down" only to find 3 passive old gits playing acoustic songs to a room full of middle aged hippies raising money for the local school. Some hemp clothing, tofu and a bottle of Echinacea drops were taken away for testing. Shortened to Loveswing, due to pressure from Sting fans, Rob Swan stole the name and embarked on a journey meeting and using talented musicians who were far greater than he so he could claim that he developed the sound, arrangements and ultimate production on all of the projects. In true Karmic fashion, he has no friends and no money.ModMySpace Profile Customizer Myspace Backgrounds
