Godfather of Indie Rock: Les Savy Fav @ GAMH (Tenderloin)

A great show for $16… Since forming in 1995, Les Savy Fav has grown into a band considered among the godfathers of the independent rock music scene, releasing three albums (3/5 in 1997, The Cat &The Cobra in 1999, Go Forth in 2001) and a singles compilation (Inches in 2004) that resulted in sales of over 100,000 copies worldwide. Their constant success can be attributed to the overseeing of every aspect of their music including the release of it. Bassist and Co-founder Syd Butler started the Frenchkiss Record label with the goal in mind to release their own records. The achievement of these records has helped Frenchkiss put out amazing music from other equally impressive artists like the Hold Steady,Thunderbirds Are Now, Call Me Lightning and more!












Hey, I’m stoked about Les Savy Fav, Man Man, and Yeasayer too (not so much Stiff Little Fingers)… I have tickets to both those shows already. But $16? This is fun cheap SF, remember? Not “pimp your favorite well-known national bands, SF”. There’s enough websites in this world for that.
