Event Details
Doors: 8PM / Show: 9PM / 21+ Almost out of necessity, Les Savy Favs sixth LP was born in a pocket reality: singer Tim Harringtons Brooklyn attic. A freaky barn, as he calls it, the room was built over the ruins of black mold and plywood, a de facto studio. Different from anywhere theyd ever recorded, the space allowed for a much-needed rebirth for the long-running post-hardcore band. In that in- between, they pieced together what would become their latest evolution, OUI, LSF, growing the albums title and cover art out of a patch of grass. The record grew organically literally and figuratively, Harrington notes wryly.Its impossible to talk about Les Savy Fav without acknowledging that its been more than 10 years since the guys released 2010s Root for Ruin. But its not like they had a messy breakup or quit to become bankers. They just had a lot of living to do. When we finished our last record, there was a sense that if we were going to do more, we wanted to do something more ambitious, Harrington says. I think it took us a while to even get in a space where that was possible. Remember, these five men Harrington, Seth Jabour, Syd Butler, Harrison Haynes, Andrew Reuland have been friends and collaborators since 1995, when they attended Rhode Island School of Design. It takes a beat to shake old habits.
