Hello from Theo, Eric, Chris and Rawn of Swaybone.
Swaybone is about turning our back on the ego culture, and showing rock a new way to go. I sing all my songs to bring forth a new culture of prior unity, to replace the old crumbling matrix of ego and death. Swaybone's members are battle-scarred veterans of decades of survival in rock and roll in the Bay Area. Swaybone has survived the darkness of the music industry with its light intact. Swaybone embodies the musicianship and songwriting of the golden age of grunge, and combines it with a lyrical message that explores personal and collective awakening. Swaybone invites its audience into a hard rock embrace of love, light and awakening.
Swaybone has released 5 CD's since 1995's Careless With Matches, including Life on Earth in 2013, and Dissolver in 2016. Our eight best recordings from these albums, as well as one instrumental "jam", are featured on Swaybone's latest CD, called Swaybone's Golden Hits. The CD is available directly through the bandmembers. Swaybone is also available through youtube at www.youtube.com/swaybonerocks, and via free downloads at soundcloud www.soundcloud.com/swaybone. You can also read the philosophy of prior unity at http://theocedarjones.weebly.com/not-two-is-peace.html. |

Go to 423 40th Street Oakland, CA! Swaybone plays the everybody all at once All ages show.
Swaybone performed at this historic event on November 20, 2011, that brought together the elements of an all ages rock show, performances by kids, and a global peace/prior unity theme at the Humanist Hall in Oakland. Swaybone played songs from their new album “Life on Earth” to kids, families and fans, and got the people up and dancing.
This event was a real cooperative effort, with many people from the community serving to make it happen, and excellent performances from other artists, including C Wiggz, a piano playing rapper; Bunnybunns, a rapper with lyrical themes about cooking, punk rock godfather Henry Rollins, and her Guru, Adi Da; Garden of Lions, a danceable rock band from the North Bay; and the Artface Performance Group, bringing modern dance to the masses. Theo Cedar Jones served as both frontman for Swaybone, and was the event’s main organizer. Theo states, “The everybody all at once All ages show is based on the idea of prior unity, and creating a safe haven for beings that is free from division and difference. The everybody all at once All ages show is also a space that is more aligned to what Swaybone is all about, which feels better than always having to play clubs where alcohol is sold and kids aren’t allowed. I hope we can create a lot more all ages shows, where kids and the pro bands can both play, and we can continue to spread the message of cooperation and prior unity.” |
