Vancouver Hip Hop group  the Swollen Members brought a crazy party to a sold out Blarney Stone with an insane party, Nov. 14. I only caught the end of the show, but the party was in full swing and showing no signs of stopping.
 Smoke clouded the stage and the enthusiastic audience frothed in front of and on top of the stage (before  a burly security guard guided them off) joining  the Swollen Members party as   snowboarding videos displayed on the bar’s big screen TVs. The volume was intense and the audience cheered, chanted and danced along. “We say Swollen, you say members… Swollen … Members…” the rappers exhorted the crowd, who chanted back and sang  along with every word they knew.
 The group also premiered several new tracks from their brand new CD, “Armed to The Teeth.”
