Merry Christmas from Olympic Swimmers.
In a fit of startling generosity we have taken it upon ourselves to throw a new song up for streaming just a few hours after it has been mastered!
“Where it Snows” will be on a forthcoming (and as yet untitled) album to be released in 2012, and is accompanied by a video lovingly put together by Simon.
In other news, next show will be at the Captain’s Rest Hogmanay Party with Casual Sex, Jack Townes and This Silent Forest. Tickets are £7 in advance and are available from here:

Olympic Swimmers playing Document 9 at the CCA
We are very privileged to have been asked to play at Document 9 at the CCA on the 22nd of October. Document is held every October in Glasgow and is Scotland’s only dedicated international human rights documentary film festival. The premise is that film can be used to raise awareness and increase understanding of local and global social issues. It is now in its 9th year and runs from the 20th to the 23rd of October. The festival incorporates film screenings, workshops, exhibitions and debates in four main venues around Glasgow: The CCA, GFT, GMAC and The Old Hairdressers (Renfield Lane, opposite Stereo), as well as live music each night in the CCA including Andrea Marini, No Comet and one other act still TBC. We are playing after the screenings at 10.30pm on Saturday the 22nd of October in CCA 5, with a donation of £3 on the door.
