Apparently Michael Gira is also working on a live Swans record with material from this recent tour. The record is going to be primarily available at younggodrecords.com. The packaging will be hand made and the cover a wood block print with a drawing by Gira. The point of the live record is to raise money to PAY for the upcoming studio record. So fans can both get something and help the band out with getting new material out.
