Les Savy Fav

While I was slightly fearing this show because 1) both friends I was supposed to go with bailed on me and 2) my brother had told me horror stories about Les Savy Sav shows I remained optimistic and excited to get inside the GAMH and get into it. I was going mostly for, I confess, The Dodos. They are a recent band who have captured my heart and I love them dearly. I was so excited to be going to see them. Les Savy Fav is a band that I have listened to on occasion, bu... MORE

Les Savy Fav released their long-awaited full-length album Let's Stay Friends last year, but the singles are still trickling out. "Patty Lee" will be released on February 25th on Syd's own French Kiss Records, of course.

People may call me EMCD, but this guy's been stuffing my hard drive full of goodness since the word "go" around here. Recently, his posted list of Top 30 albums of 2007 led me to finally check out Les Savy Fav, and what joy that was! Here, have a taste of "Patty Lee" ... MORE

From LSF's latest album, Let's Stay Friends. As mentioned in my previous post, I didn't really get into this album as a whole, but it does have some good tracks. I wouldn't say it was their worst release, but I wouldn't recommend it as introduction to their music either.
Personal favorites in no particular order: Brace Yourself, What Would Wolves Do?, Raging In the Plague Age and Scotchguard the Credit Card, Patty Lee
