Destiny also took ADVERTISEMENTcharge when he met up with Andrew Weatherall and The Sabres of Paradise at night-clubs like ‘The Drum Club’ and ‘Sabresonic’ and began working with Weatherall manipulating sounds on the Sabres tour. Having been an integral part in the Weatherall studio set up since it seemed a natural step that upon the demise of Sabres Weatherall and Tenniswood should arise from the debris and form their own production team Two Lone Swordsmen.
