SUMMARY:Tate Swindell/Thomas Antonic on Allen Ginsberg/William Burroughs
DESCRIPTION:The well-oiled machine that is the road show of two intrepid archive divers\, San Francisco’s Tate Swindell and Vienna’s Thomas Antonic\, reaches Tate’s home base with a program built around the recording of Allen Ginsberg 1980 Graz\, Austria poetry event with Peter Orlofsky and musician Steven Taylor dubbed “America: Give A Shit\,” now a 2026 double lp release on Swindell’s Unrequited Records label\, and Antonic’s recently published book\, The Three Wives of Queer William S. Burroughs (Beatdom\, 2026). \n(L-R) Taylor/Ginsberg/Orlofsky – photo by Saul Shapiro \nTate and Thomas have lately been presenting programs focused on the Ginsberg lp in Budapest\, Vienna\, Prague and Graz. Thomas was last heard at Bird & Beckett in January 2022 presenting his previous book\, Amongst Nazis: William S. Burroughs in Vienna 1936/37. Tate is well known to San Francisco beats\, baby beats and post beats for his production of cultural materials — books\, lps\, readings\, concerts — derived from his archive explorations and personal contacts with the likes of Harold Norse\, Gregory Corso\, Neeli Cherkovski and countless others through the past couple of decades. \n
