took its name from a plural form of the Anglo-Saxon word ‘sweg’, which
means ‘sound’, ‘noise’, or ‘melody’. The band underwent over fifty
personnel changes during its first year, but by 1970 a firm octet was
established. The group recorded three albums during its short
lifespan—the first of which went unreleased—before disbanding in late
1971. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Ohhhh, so that's what it means! I was under the impression the origin for the name was the city in Nevada - Las Wegas.
