Video of the Day | Coachella Preview Edition: Savages

Share this post

Savages. A word that conjures up visions of unchecked violence. Vicious attacks upon enemies, whether real or perceived.  Swirling, uncontrollable, and unpredictable. And for a few of you, visions of your Man Friday.

Savages are a post-punk female quartet from London whose music lives up to their moniker, firing away with fiercely staccato shrieking one minute, sustained and impassioned auditory assaults the next. Disaffection is a given, tension is abundant, and discordance meets intensity on a road that does NOT lead to redemption. That intensity will soon arrive in Indio, California for the Coachella Music Festival, and just may leave a trail of carnage in its wake.

From their soon to be released debut album, this is a live performance of “City’s Full.”

Behrnsie has a love for music that dare not speak its name. He attends many shows and can often be found counting out the beats for no discernible reason. He played alto saxophone in his middle school jazz band, where he was best known for infuriating his instructor when it was revealed that he played everything by ear, and could not in fact read music. He takes great pride that this is the same talent/affliction that got Tori Amos kicked out of the Peabody Academy. He does not live in his parents’ basement….except during the holidays.
