- S.W.O.N formed at a glamorous after-party at Winsor
Castle, London, in late 2004.On request of her Her majesty the queen of
England, we each took a corner of a five cornered roo, and ran towrds the
centre screaming Japanese slogans... Our powerful bodies smashed together
in a shower of pink glitter and the Supersonic Winds of Neptune was formed!!!
Our aim was then and still is now, to entertain, purely and simply, visually and sonically, physically and mentally. This manifesto manifests itself in our live shows which are full-on gratuitous glam-rock romps, a gig is never just a gig with SWON, it is a giant gloss-white machine fucking your brains out of your skull with a biscuit and a knowing smile. The crowd is encourgaed and never aggressively pushed into joining in the fun. And of course it would all amount to nothing if the music wasn't up to scratch... Showy musicianship which never gets in way of the songs. The tunes are hard, dynamic, catchy, punchy and a guilty treat for any open minded fan of rock music. We are shameless, we don't take ourselves seriously, but we love what we do. The Supersonic Winds of Neptune are a rabid collection of gypsies and gangsters from the bad side of town, foraging what they can from post-nuclear fallout interplanetary mining systems to create their unique and sometimes frightening blend of hard rock.80s-infected pop/ambient beautifications/funk/Las Vegas swing metal and tea-influenced Britishness.
