Live in a Dive (Swingin' Utters album)

Live in a Dive is a live album by Californian punk rock band Swingin' Utters. Released in 2004, it is the sixth in the Live in a Dive series.

• The album features songs from all the band's albums, and many of their E.P.s, up to the album Dead Flowers, Bottles, Bluegrass, and Bones, which was released a month before Live in a Dive was recorded. The set is notable for its length (over one hour), the band's use of "acoustical instruments" including accordion on several songs, and Spike Slawson's bizarre story of an encounter with a drunk naked trucker in a Portage, Indiana motel while on tour.
• The cover booklet also features a comic strip story by Joel Loya, involving the Swingin' Utters meeting the ghosts of Joe Strummer, Joey Ramone, Darby Crash and Sid Vicious.

Personnel

• Johnny Bonnel (vocals)
• Darius Koski (guitar, vocals, accordion)
• Greg McEntee (drums)
• Spike Slawson (bass, vocals)
• Chuck Worthy (guitar)
