Westberg + HOLMES
Swans in Belgium, May 17. This skinny passed it's 3rd anniversary on Norm's Tele a few months back and, as is obvious by the evidence, no one makes my straps look better than he does.

Unlikely, I know.
Once or twice, usually when trying to avoid thinking about something else---I've thought that I should organize a festival with a lineup including only bands/musicians who have used my straps + etc over the years. This would ideally happen in my back yard, with the spirits of Rowland S. Howard and Mark Linkous acting as emcees. #spiritualized #low #slowdive #wilco #leeranaldo #stephenomalley #swans #deathvessel #mymorningjacket#deanwareham #megafaun #neilhalstead #sunno)))
...the Clint Eastwood of electric guitar.
Short clip extracted from the mini-doc 'The Seer' made by Pitchfork on the recent SWANS tour. Norman Westberg is the star of the extract, Michael Gira is on voice-over. Norman's HOLMES strap is present. Love this.
The entire film can be seen here:
SWANS pt. 2
Norman Westberg (foreground right) of SWANS a few nights ago in LA with a HOLMES skinny strap on his Telecaster. A favorite Swans track, decent quality audio/visual, and Norman representing.
Turn it up.
