Great Lake Swimmers’ beautifully sparse folk seemed more than a little incongruous among the torn paper and haphazardly stapled flyers on the walls of the Larimer Lounge last Wednesday night. Though the venue seems to feature a steady diet of punk, thrash, metal and overall mayhem most of the time, the Toronto band had no trouble making the place their own. And it was filled almost to capacity with a hip, indie-looking crowd that embraced their Appalachian-tinted folk wholeheartedly.

    Aging punk rocker with a deep of all things musical and artistic, enough to remain constantly young and perpetually mystified. Billy has journalistic dreams, but of a decidedly pastoral, Scottish nature.
