les savy fav

There are 5 of them all told though it may seem like more when you hear them on stage or meet them on the street, such is the nature of their personalities, they enthusiastically binge on the american music scene.

Since 1995 Les Savy Fav have been perfecting their concoction of dissonant pop defined by it's driving bass, disco drumming, bratty guitars, and spastic vocals and illustrated by a fist full of 7"s and the cult classic full length "3/5". For the recording and much of the writing of Les Savy Fav's latest record "the Cat and the Cobra" the band was joined by new drummer Harrison Haynes. He, like former drummer Pat Mahoney, met the rest of the band while studying art at the Rhode Island School of Design. That's the school the talking Heads went to. Like the Talking Heads, L.S.F. are commiteed to making idiosyncratic pop music, songs which are deceptively simple and deceptively complex.

Their non-stop commitment to touring led to features in
Alternative Press, Interview, and rave reports in the U.K.'s New Musical Express. Now with the band signed to Southern Records, the band are ready to, in Syd's words "tour their ass off". Look for what the NME have called "the most visceral and nervy rock'n'roll spectacles you'll ever see."
