Finally, Swollen Members will be performing at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games on February 15 for their “Whistler Live Fire and Ice” party.
The show will be a homecoming for the Vancouver natives, who have been traveling non-stop since releasing Armed To The Teeth last fall. “For Swollen Members to play an official Olympic event in our own city is a milestone and a great honor,” explained Prevail. “This performance will give us a chance to be seen by the whole world and this is going to be a career highlight for all of us.”
