Swervedriver motors through March, April

English alt-rockers Swervedriver are revving up for a run of U.S. shows in March and April, including a March 26 performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

After the late-night television appearance, the four-piece kicks off the tour with a Mar. 28 show at the Union Transfer in Philadelphia, and wraps 11 days later at the Key Club in Los Angeles. Opening on all dates outside the Pacific Northwest will be New York City-based trio Heaven. Rock/electronica outfit Hawkeye will provide support for the Pacific Northwest shows.

Swervedriver's career began over 20 years ago in Oxford, England, where in the 1990s the outfit established themselves as one of the leading shoegazing bands to emerge from the British alt-rock scene. After a 1-year hiatus, Swervedriver reunited for a world tour in 2008 and again in 2011. The band's first three albums (just two in the U.S.) were re-released in late 2008, along with a new single, "The Hitcher."
