Savages: Full Concert | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW

[@CappyRev]

I miss this band

[@cheislies0012]

Deffo

[@3ADWOLF]

Vocals, amazing! Guitarist, amazing! Bass player, amazing! and Fay Milton on the drums is an absolute beast! They are so good live.

[@ChrisR_68]

ATOM I totally agree, the whole band is fantastic !!! and finally a band of females that are brilliant. I love them xx

[@3ADWOLF]

@100965806638270715052 they are a great example that young female musicians don't have to go down the mainstream route. To be honest though there are quite a few female bands or bands fronted by females around today that are making great music such as Warpaint, Wolf Alice and Honeyblood just to name a few.

[@ChrisR_68]

Hi yh I totally agree, oh right I shall check them out cheers, I think I've heard of warpaint.the amount of music I have and I'm a huge music fan, sometimes bands slip through ya fingers if ya know what I mean,I always think, there must be thousands of bands out there that I've not even listened too. My Son is a guitarist and he is not mainstream, never lol ;)

[@ChrisR_68]

Have you heard Courtenay Barnett ? She is brilliant its like her singing and playing guitar and 2 males one drummer and one bass player. I love Anna Calvi too

[@3ADWOLF]

Christine Robinson It's easily done these days due to there being so much music around and unless we go out looking for it it will most likely bypass us unfortunately. Yes i've heard of Courtney Barnett and Anna Calvi, i haven't heard much from Clavi recently though. Lianne La Havas is a very talented musician and song writer and a new band i've recently discovered called Dark Bells have a great sound too.

[@electrafix]

Easily the best live band in the world today. Seriously.

[@GRiMHOLDx]

Lmfao xD

[@iceman992992]

lol yeah I love this band but they are not 'easily' the best live band in the world today

[@PeaceableKingdom100]

I witnessed dozens of acts at music festivals and concerts this summer. Savages blew them all out of the water handily. If one hasn't seen them live on their current tour, one has no business weighing in, obviously. You can't replicate the live experience through a KZbin video, even a live recording. You have to be in the middle of it. The noise has to vibrate in your gut. You have to be surrounded by sweaty humans and fog and light.

[@electrafix]

Thank you for corroborating! Like you, I saw a lot of bands this year and Savages were operating on another level from the rest. I ended up going to six of their shows in both gigantic and tiny venues and after every performance the crowd was a delirious, stunned mass muttering about it being the best concert they'd ever attended.

[@dakotaskyy]

Exactly!!! Cheers from Poland guys :D

[@ama3182]

Relistening and watching this because its been so long ive gone to a concert and i remember seeing them so vividly in chicago and holding her up as she stood in the front pit. The room was just an emotional tidal wave of bodies. Best concert experience of my life.

[@86crud]

New discovery to me but my god. What an insanely underrated band.

[@lilianavergara3758]

These women are fire!

[@Themariomoral]

Amazing band. So tight, rigorous and disciplined, yet so free chaotic and powerful. difficult to achieve premises as a musician I say. Respect

[@dr.robertt.mullaneiii1561]

perfect reposte. thank you rob

[@1KunDog]

The filmography is amazing as well as the band. Thanks whoever you are.

[@tiikMYname]

I went to this concert. Stayed in balcony. Amazing!! Unforgettable!!

[@autumnsunbeam2065]

I cannot take my eyes off the drummer, Fay Milton 🥰

[@DrRainerLe]

Your music cleans my soul - grateful I found you during the darkest time of my life!

[@horror9363]

It came to the point where I can't even start my morning coffee without this concert lol

[@ChrisR_68]

absolutely brilliant band, yes straight away i was like joy division and Siouxie !!! brilliant live band and tbh its the best best ever all female band, I've come across !!! apologies if there are any others out there I've missed but to date to me they are the best !!!!

[@schwarzblatt]

Sounds like Joy Division and Siouxsie to my ears. Fantastic live energy regardless.

[@monjesenal7477]

schwarzblatt You can also hear the Bauhaus influence. Especially the guitar

[@schwarzblatt]

Monjeseñal Oh sure.....that entire world of music is pretty evident in their sound.

[@nicolasbertin8552]

Siouxsie ? I don't know, the singer claims she's a big fan of female singer where you can't tell if it's a man or a woman singing, like Nina Simone. And she's defintely has achieved that, I discovered them with "She Will" and always thought it was a man singing. Quite different from Siouxsie, who has clearly a feminine voice. But Joy Division yeah definitely. I just hope they don't turn into a maintstream rock band with all the success they have. Their second album is already a bit dialed down compared to the first one, which is a shame. Hope they bounce back.

[@ChrisR_68]

Nicolas Bertin I love both of their albums tbh. I just think the 2nd album 'Adore life' is their growth as a band, sounding a little more mature, of course I can't see them ever going mainstream because its not what the band is about but I've got to say I hope they don't go too mainstream. but I can't see it :)

[@andrews527]

Is it bad that this makes me miss Joy Division, Siouxsie and Bauhaus, rather than rush to buy a Savages record?

[@intrudera6]

wow - love the band and the sound - and I had no idea the 930 club was still open - used to go in the mid 80s and early 90s. May have to visit next time I'm in town.

[@HerrEngels]

I had never heard of them until a few days ago. Like I live on the moon's unlit side. This sounds and looks fantastic.

[@rusbevan6637]

Fay Milton on drums, amazing, BEAST.

[@RussArteaga]

I just fell in love with this band all over again.

[@corafoxyfowler]

been followig Savages for around three years now and even saw Johnny and Jen in a small club in Nottingham with about 12 others, they create a wonderful experience live frightening and exciting one of the best live bands ever

[@whssy]

I used to follow bands around when I was a youngster.... There were three fellow veterans at their Copenhagen gig earlier this year and we all agreed that if we still followed bands around, Savages would be the band we'd follow. So Cora... tell me about the band following scene with younger bands. I hope you have as much fun as we used to. We were all trying to be the Bromley Contingent in those days. What's it like now?

[@transmissionmusic]

Yeah, i Saw too John and Jenn in a little place where i live, there were few people, and then, After long years i Saw too Times Savages, at Garorock festival in Francia, and in Connexion live in Toulouse, every Times is such an energy that Comes from those women, they are Amazing ! 😀

[@gregorycharrier3087]

I has been a long time since I enjoyed a rock band that much!

[@charlesmarks1241]

Watching as a reminder after seeing Jenny Beth in Anatomy of a Fall - did anyone else spot that?

[@Tommy-ng7yz]

New Siouxsie 😘

[@KarinArink]

amazing registration of a great band!! yes energies from the past but all brand new focus and vibe, simply awesome!! if you get a chance to see them live: GO!

[@PhilippWolgast]

This Band is Next Level.

[@seelenwinter6662]

wow... i listen for the first time a concert of them and i was really surprised about it... i never heared something befor about them... and all members are women... great band... and i hope, they will be more famous with the time...

[@emyemyemyyyy]

God, I love them.

[@georgiana1754]

Yess, I have been waiting for this band all my life.

[@enzotanzi2609]

they are great and you are really nice

[@CyndyNeg]

wow...thanks for posting full concert!

[@fawazazim7321]

I am waiting for a new album. They are so good.

[@johnallan9256]

what a band AWESOME high energy. All fantastic love them

[@chadholladay6228]

i know I'm way late to the party here... but I just stumbled upon these women and now I cannot stop listening to their albums. I understand the sonic comparisons to Joy Division and Siouxsie, but frankly they are insufficient to the power and intensity these women bring. I also find Savages to be far better musicians than those other bands. There intensity reminds me of Tool. I hope they come back together and record some more music.

[@Nutamago]

why gemma is always do a cold stare like that. makes me crayyy

[@emilianoortega-guerrero2925]

the soundtrack our lives... rock n roll yeah

[@emilianoortega-guerrero2925]

ALTERNATIVE PUNK ROCK AWESOME

[@tvrment]

I play in two bands (black punk-/metal + noise post-punk) and Ayse will ALWAYS be an inspiring musician and person, no matter what I do.

[@86crud]

I got an entire tattoo because of this band. “DON’T LET THE F***ERS GET YOU DOWN” 😂

[@superpitcher87]

ahh, my heart!!! JEHNNY!!!

[@christophernye1970]

They are too cool for school, is it wrong for a 63 year old man to love them? Great musicianship all round, I hope they haven't packed it in as I would love feel the atmosphere they create live.

[@enzotanzi2609]

I am 60,I can't wait to see them live

[@paulbougie6557]

My thoughts exactly Christopher , and I'm now 70....

[@rogercageot-prod]

Voice and energy from Siouxie/Banshees - Very Spellbound like. But their "Hit Me" is more... savage!

[@joshuahoward6845]

saw them live in Madison, WI in May. So great!

[@danradcliffe74]

fuck. a savages concert is everything i need rn. i saw them four months ago, it was so cathartic and exhausting in the best sense.

[@erocrush]

Best Band in the World.

[@mananavekua3455]

you are my favorite band. your ideas are very cleverly and i hope you will be became more popular in the world.

[@offrun8830]

Intense stuff, with skills and intension/attitude. They´ll become legends. :)

[@jimmeeq]

Gemma's guitar work and face and cool are almost more than I can handle.

[@silentthriller]

I'm keeping it 100. These women kick ass!

[@goobah01]

Guitar well up in the mix thankfully! I fell for these ladies first listen. And the Iggy-style crowd surf is just icing on the delicious cake.

[@Claudestar1]

Great gig! Thank you!

[@darkpagey]

i love Gemma !!

[@Chupilunatico]

Yes!!

[@mouthbreathers]

Wow! Thank you!!!!

[@Subwayslover667]

Can anyone tell me anything about a poem that starts at 32:27???

[@ara.mre86]

I'm in love....omg these women are fire 🖤🖤🖤

[@maxpayne9696]

Best rock concert from Pohoda 2016 :)

[@marcolopez5981]

Facinante, las amo!!!

[@marcolopez4397]

I love Jhenny Beth

[@kazimierzgarshin3924]

The singer has strong Patti Smith vibes.

[@marnieotto9470]

best band on the planet. and not just b/c they are women.

[@alanndevuyst6681]

First thought I heard new songs from SIouxie and the Banshees in film soundtrack...then I read in Wikipedia about them that they have found inspiration from the latter...SO punk’s not dead.

[@svetmikhailoff2488]

it reminds me the film "The Runaways"... 2010

[@dougmann66]

MAJORCOOL ! ! ! ! !

[@FionaAppleAddict]

How can they ignore "Waiting For A Sign"??? 😮

[@alanndevuyst6681]

The band’s name comes from The Lord of the Flies, another novel I loved.

[@joeltecua4204]

Bauhaus, Siouxsie, Joy División.

[@karl9411]

They wish

[@alanndevuyst6681]

Thanks to the film Ex-Machina I discovered this band...today...

[@theorycompanies]

Same except in 2016 I think!

[@eduardoribeiro3419]

It reminded me a lot of the band "Mercenarias" do Brazil

[@yogacholandha]

The intro of "Sad Person" sounds like the intro of H.I.M's "Buried Alive by Love".

[@voteforjoe]

I just want to faint watching them.

[@osmanmasry]

whats that poem jehnny says before "evil" at 32:26 ?

[@andrewwichlep3244]

Osman A Osman I'm wondering the same thing. these rocking ladies are my new obsession

[@Hardbody94]

9:30 club is a legendary venue.

[@nonserviam7200]

anybody know if savages are done for good, or are just on a (painfully long) hiatus?

[@_me_676]

Not sure if they’ve split up but I know Jehnny Beth is touring a lot as a solo artist which would indicate there’s no plan for Savages at the minute. I’d never say never however and I’d love for them to come back and release new music!

[@745651]

A very good bad noisy trip… I love…

[@juanbetancourt5951]

they are simply like Vikings on the ship to the land of music from of course England!

[@ChuckHipolitho]

Music.

[@amandadominguez6631]

What does she recite at 32:25? I heard her at other performances repeat it just wondering where it's from.

[@codedlAnguage]

Popcorn. 💓. @. Front Row. 💋

[@1KunDog]

They rocked. Twice this year. What a great group of talented, pretty women. Anyone who disagrees with that can just...well I am trying not to be mean. I ADORE them.

[@jakes3935]

Effin love this band. Who said rock is dead?

[@metalhos]

1:03:20 love these moments :)

[@sortakinda666]

I get Peter Murphy vibes, it's great

[@charliecrash3450]

Siouxsie and Peter married.

[@robertdasnois4486]

Aurait mérité de rencontrer Léo Ferré

[@billiemook]

So Bad Ass!!!

[@thelabtechnicians5657]

I Love This Band ;-) x SHE WILL sounds like the Death Cult/ Cult .All Good Stuff, Take me back to My Post Punk/Gothic Punk Days!

[@gibbo1968]

fuckin great band

[@charliecrash3450]

Siouxsie meets Bauhaus!

[@666chinchilla]

meets sinead oconnor early

[@lonniewoods7066]

Dig it

[@karl9411]

Didn't know Siouxsie was out of retirement .

[@thebroadenthusiast]

I can't help but think they are inspired by David Bowie. Great performance.

[@sangfroid4376]

For your sake I hope Iman never sees this.

[@j.justinzimmerman9836]

...like David Bowie ? ! ! Where's the melody? Where's the song?

[@whssy]

Everyone is inspired by David Bowie. I'm seeing more Banshees and Bauhaus than Bowie though. Not that that's a bad thing.

[@sangfroid4376]

whssy Absolutes can be a tricky thing in that there is usually an exception lurking about somewhere. Bruce Springsteen was far from impressed with Bowie's cover of his "Saint in the City". I met Bowie on several occasions and can honestly say I was far more impressed with the characters he portrayed on stage than I was with the man himself. This isn't meant as a slight to the Thin White Duke but a comment on artists, often their work outshines their person. I quite like Siouxie but don't really see her here she never had to break a sweat to achieve the intensity this band aspires to, but I'm with you on the Bauhaus reference. Cheers

[@pmar1999]

bahaus and joy influence

[@sistaray3635]

WAAAAAAAAA ime exhausted!+!?¡ thankQ u ? xx brutal+beautiful

[@lonniewoods7066]

Henry rollins recommended this

[@nbcuni]

So nobody told the lighting guys this was being filmed, huh?

[@graze9356]

M Ward In one of their interviews they mention the dark lighting is intentional to put more focus on the music.

[@Mojokiss]

Husbands sounds like Passwords to me right now because I was just hacked

[@MrDukeblue]

The next best thing since Sleater-Kinney. Propulsive punk rock music with a wailin' singer.

[@nuncaleite]

right on, brutha

[@phw1102]

I can see my face 😂

[@ericherrera3796]

FUNfuckingstasctic

[@jakubczyz]

[@rebelinkontrol5601]

Sounds like female version of Bauhaus

[@leonardvaivada9046]

Guitar player does not smile. Bass player does not open her eyes. Cool

[@leonardvaivada9046]

I agree. They are very exciting. Gemma is the best guitarist to come along since Jimi Hendrix

[@whssy]

No. Since John McGeoch. Never forget the McGeoch.

[@Youmakemehatemusic]

Killer.

[@howardstein9565]

As action packed as a silky dawn.
