SAVAGES IN CONCERT:
Post-punk revivalists Savages distill the most vital elements of punk and noise rock to stun ticket buyers at their wildly passionate and provocative concerts. The music of the London-based rockers is pure intensity, and itís even more impressive and powerful when experienced live. While the rhythm section lays down menacing and minimalistic grooves, fans start to mix it up in the mosh pit and writhe in time to the pulsating rhythms. Guitarist Gemma Thompson conjures all manner of echo-drenched feedback on verses before she hammers out thrashing riffs on untamed choruses. Lead singer Jehnny Beth alternates between whispered melodies and otherworldly screams to push each song to its explosive climax, igniting the powder keg of audience anticipation. Fans wonít know what hit them by the time Beth crowd surfs through incendiary anthems like ìCityís Fullî, ìHusbandsî, and ìNo Faceî. Savages shatter the boundary between performer and audience to help everyone in attendance get in touch with their wild side.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
After discussing working on music together for over a year, vocalist Jehnny Beth and guitarist Gemma Thompson finally formed Savages in 2011. With bassist Ayse Hassan and drummer Fay Milton on board, the London-based post-punk revivalists played their first show in 2012 opening for British Sea Power. Following the release of their debut single ìFlying to Berlinî the group toured the US and gained rave write-ups for their Brooklyn and Chicago performances. Their 2013 debut album Silence Yourself became a cause cÈlËbre among underground music enthusiasts and landed on best-of lists by influential publications like Pitchfork. The following year they teamed up with Japanese art-rock group Bo Ningen to release the experimental album Words to the Blind. With 2016ís Adore Life causing ripples throughout the music scene, fans are lining up to witness the visceral and provocative performances that Savages have become known for.

If you have never heard of this band, then you need to check them out. If you've never seen them live, I would highly recommend it! Incredibly high energy, super friendly, and simply talented. The vocalist came out into the audience, crowd surfed, and made sure she got everyone involved, especially those in the very front. I took a friend who had never even listened to this band, and she was absolutely blown away by their performance!
Savages was truly epic, even in the small room of ONC Deluxe! Such a great live show.
This band put on one the best shows I've ever been too and I frequently go to concerts of all kinds. The band was tight and the singer's energy was infectious. My friend and I were basically speechless after the show. If Savages comes to your town I suggest you go!
Savages surpassed my high expectations. A brilliant performance. I've rarely seen a front-person as intense as Jehnny Beth.
One of the best live bands around. They play with such passion and precision. Jehnny Beth has really come into her own as a lead, fluctuating seamlessly between fierce and endearing. Fay Milton is a monster on the drums. Ayse Hassan grooves both on the bass and to the tune playing in her head as she continues to keep the beat even between songs. Gemma Thompson adds the perfect atmospheric squall of strings. I really hope this band continues to grow and evolve for years to come.
Sick show. The Savages killed it. Everything was perfect.
An hour and 15 minute sonic assault. Bands like this help restore my faith in music.
Savages show was maybe the best rock show I have ever seen. The opener was good. The dancing at the beginning was okay. I don't like when I show up and the time has been moved back for the headliner to appear, but it all moved along in a timely manner, so that part wasn't too bad.
All around great performance by the band. But I could barely hear anything over the bass drum. Bottom was so loud you couldn't make out the notes on the bass. This was disappointing given the spareness and economy of the songs.
