Fresh from absolutely owning Constellations Festival in Leeds, the inimitable Les Savy Fav come back to the UK in February, and we've bagged a Sheffield date - on the 27th, at Corporation. Cannot bloody wait, they are INCREDIBLE.
Here's the science bit...
DrownedinSound and CLE are proud to present:
LES SAVY FAV – http://www.last.fm/music/Les+Savy+Fav
Wikipedia says: “Les Savy Fav is a New York City indie rock band. Their style is influenced by art rock and post-hardcore. The group is known for the stage presence of lead singer Tim Harrington.”
We say: if you saw their performance at Constellations Festival in Leeds recently, or elsewhere, you'll know that final sentence is something of an understatement. They're probably the best live rock band on the planet, and it's an absolute privilege to finally be bringing them to Sheffield.
The press says, in relation to the band's latest album 'Root For Ruin':
“Les Savy Fav hunker down to return to what they do best: a masterful combination of post-hardcore energy, tight white funk and playful art-school abstractions.” - Mojo (8/10)
“Roots For Ruin burns with their reignited love of Fugazi, Pixies and Pavement.” - Uncut (8/10)
“The band's tightest and most polished album yet.” - AllMusic (8/10)
“This is perhaps their strongest yet, their angular sounds augmented by a succession of memorable hooks, any one of which could be the one to break them into the mainstream after 14 year” - Q
“Root For Ruin is a worthy continuation of their oeuvre, and a better album than 07's 'Let's Stay Friends'” - Rock Sound (7/10)
