A.Savage joined by special guests Emma Russack & Lachlan Denton

 

Co-frontman for celebrated New York City post-punk band Parquet Courts, A. Savage is set to headline The Sound Doctor on Saturday 23 November. And we’re excited to announce Emma Russack & Lachlan Denton as supports.

Emma Russack and Lachlan Denton are prolific songwriters from Melbourne. Somehow, between recording with their respective bands (Snowy Band, Pop Filter, Partner Look and others), they find time to write records together. Something Is Going To Change Tomorrow, Today. What Will You Do? What Will You say? is their latest collaborative project, their fourth(!) in three years. How do they do it? Well, they combine friendship, a desire for writing honest pop music and efficiency (the record was recorded in about 12 hours on tape).

One of the singular indie-rock songwriters of our time, A.Savage returns to Australia from self-imposed exile in Paris to tour his new album Several Songs About Fire. Not your ordinary rock star, A. Savage is also an exhibiting painter and visual artist, voracious reader and thoughtful son of a gun.

Andrew said; “I imagine myself playing these songs in a small club that is slowly burning. Fire is something you have to escape from, and in a way this album is about escaping from something. This album is a burning building, and these songs are things I’d leave behind to save myself.

Tickets are on sale now to see one of the singular indie-rock songwriters of our time performing a special solo show.

Parquet Courts frontman A.Savage headlines The Sound Doctor in November

 

A. Savage is heading to Australia for a run of tour dates in November – and we are very excited to announce that he’ll be stopping by in Anglesea on Saturday 23 November. Described by Stereogum as having “sharp writing and [a] voice distinctive enough that you could recognize them from outer space”, the Parquet Courts frontman is touring in support of his record Several Songs About Fire.

Produced by John Parish in Bristol, Several Songs About Fire is bolstered by the support of Jack Cooper (Modern Nature, Ultimate Painting) and Cate Le Bon, as well as members of Kamikaze Palm Tree and caroline. The end result is tantamount to a psychic odyssey, containing a singular irreverence which is stitched together by Savage’s outsize gifts as a lyricist and observer, a quality Parish calls “an emotional openness guarded by a laconic wit.”
