Superbowl Sunday

Mostly its just 3, with sit-ins of course. One of our frequent 'sit-in's' is 'Stem Horse'. He is our mascot and a reminder of what once was, but has now gone away in a puff of smoke!                                                                                

 Forging a commitment to truth, trust, and justice; Daves Rope Swing are 4.
Four who thrive on a symbiotic relationship with each other and their "audience."

Beginning in 1979, brothers Mark and Chris Warren brought forth a sound that was new and misunderstood. After struggling for eight years and going through various line-ups and name changes, permanent bass player Mixhele Therese was added in 1984. In 1988, percussionist extraordinaire Rob Pearce, desiring a change from the ho-hum joined the group and the band Anderson Council was born.
The group played a multitude of clubs in and around Seattle from 1991 to 1993. Their sounds were embedded on magnetic tape at Raywatt Studios in March 1992 with Steve Raibel at the board.
In April 1993 the group parted, but only temporarily. During the break, all four band members experimented with music on their own. Rob rejoined Mark and Michelle in mid-1995 and together they formed Daves Rope Swing. The trio composed a number of new songs and earned a review of one of their home studio tapes in Seattle's The Rocket. Chris rejoined the group in January 1997, and by June they were booking clubs in Everett, Washington.
In February 1998 they began recording their first Daves Rope Swing album entitled The Porch Where Nothing Matters. The album is scheduled for release in summer '98 and is being recorded and mastered at Whiskey Ridge Studios with Mark Hibbert engineering.
Daves Rope Swing practices regularly in Everett, Washington and has occasional gigs in and around the Puget Sound area. Guests are always welcome and invited to gigs and practices. E-mail us for directions to our gigs and jam room at davesropeswing@angelfire.com.
Let it be known that while there are many, many problems in the world in which we live, we hope only to touch the awareness of all who choose to listen to our sounds. Only united as one strong, solid voice will any of us begin to change things for the better.

Peace and thanx,

Daves Rope Swing
