here's a question: does Swans play exclusively new & recent stuff live? seems that way judging by their setlists.  

Yes, they play stuff from the current album. I think he said something about not being a greatest hits band or something.

Michael Gira posted:

Gira gave up any notion of playing a greatest-hits set long ago. "At the beginning of this iteration of Swans, we did a couple of older things and tried to recontextualise them," he says. "We certainly didn't try to play them how they used to be. But after a while, even that started to feel a little cheesy, and so we dropped them. Now we don't really do anything from the past."

And if fans turn out, hoping for old material? "The shows are compelling enough for that not to be an issue."
