Music Monday: Savages

For me and Savages, it was love at first listen. Their debut, Silence Yourself, is a rarity in today's music world. It grabs you between the legs on the first track, and doesn't let go even after the final strains have faded.


If you ever get the chance to see them live, do not let it pass. I was fortunate enough to see them at the Bluebird here in Denver in September, and it was one of the best shows I have ever experienced.

If you do get to see them live someday, leave your smart phone in your pocket. Savages do not take kindly to people coming to their live shows only to watch them on tiny little screens.
