Savages map brief
US tour for July

The female four-piece look to carry the torch as the next great post-punk revival band for a new generation.

“Savages’ intention is to create a sound, indestructible, musically solid, written for the stage and designed with enough nuances to provide a wide range of emotions,” reads the first line to the fmanifesto posted by the group. The UK band has been making waves since their double A-side single released last year. Now with the debut of their full length LP, Silence Yourself, the band is set to introduce themselves to the United States and Canada in July.

Since 2011, the band has released an impressive amount of work, including a pair of singles, an EP, and now a full length album—all of which, especially the latter, manage to capture the energy and emotion of their live show surprisingly well.

With a busy Spring and Summer already mapped out through Europe, Savages embark on just nine dates through North America. From July 11th through July 23rd they make their way from New York to Los Angeles.

On the 14th, Savages stop in Philadelphia for night at Union Transfer. The show will mark their first time performing in the city and the band is part of a growing number of acts who are beginning to compel attendees to stay off their cellphones during concerts. (Others include the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and comedian Aziz Ansari who are trying to get fans to witness live shows, not through tiny screens, but through their own eyes.)

As part of the promotional push for the new album Savages, in partnership with VICE and The Creators Project, streamed a special concert celebrating the release. Last Thursday the group performed at The Ministry of Sound. For those interested in catching a glimpse of what their incredible live performances entail, the webcast is still available via VICE.
