The Savage Sound System began, both sonically and biologically, in
a handful of rented rooms on the East Coast of Scotland.
After buying their inspiration second-hand, they frequently found themselves,
without prior notice, recording surprisingly tasteful noises. These
are systematically projected into the void via this very site. Historical Notes:
From an early age this gaggle of muddles and misfits had an itch. Saturday
mornings once a month tuning in to the Indie chart on ITV's Chart Show;
Thursdays with Steve and Jo's evening sesh; Peel when the babysitter
went out for a smoke. Like a creased brow at Pollock thinking: 'I can
do that', they scratched incessantly at whatever medium came to hand.
Thankfully they kept scratching.Tracking down misfit sounds, and humming a half remembered chorus,
the System are undercover agents of their own demise. Upstanding citizens
of a society reveling in free-fall they are blissfully unaware of their
own importance. In an echo chamber of official propaganda designed to
conceal, they play. The motto: You are what you beat. First release: 'the intafada dub' on Dejine:Rec

We're playing a cheap and early show this coming Wednesday at the *ahem* intimate Sneaky Pete's with some other folk...
Should be a blast - we've new tricks, new noises and we'll be filming it for part of a video project... "Revel in the digital glitches and distorted blast beats......this will melt your face." - The Skinny
Sneaky Pete's Wednesday 22nd July Doors 7pm - £2
Would be awesom-o to see you there :)
We're on first, before these people:
www.myspace.com/damagedelectronics Stupidly entertaining live gabbertechnobreaksampledrivennoise making their live return after 18 months of Dr Who meditation.
www.myspace.com/deadonthelivewire Surprisingly feral noise duo, think Sonic Youth-esque atonal vocals, Nine Inch Nails guitar crunch and industrial clatter to deafening effect
alright man, i sent you a link for my new accapella.wav to a two minute beat... and i also sent an mp3 with the beat... i think it goes hard but get back w/ me... if you agree that its dope, ill add it to my page...
nice flyer man, dope graphics... Wish we could be there at the show, and oneday we will share a stage... ShamanWorldwide... If you get more video of the upcoming show be sure to post it so we can check it out
This Friday 26th June 8PM SecretCDs @ The Tron Hunter Sq £5
Lypsync for a Lullaby "Edinburgh's answer to Sigur Ros" "invigorating mix of light and shade. . . Big, big music!"
Foundlings "A fine blend of pin-point almost spoken word vocals and tales of journeys along England’s psychotic autobahns - the spirit of the age." ". . .a kind of My Bloody Valentine for Motorway City times and One More Grain disciples." "Stone Roses for Neu heads!"
The Foundling Wheel "It's beepy, it's insane, it's shouty. It's angry but clever. It makes me want to drive a motorcycle the wrong way down the motorway. Naked." "braiding chromatic sheets of singeing electro-bending between frayed laces of gleaming melody." "Experimental mental music for robots to have sex to"
hey pal, how did rehersal go. STOKED to see the next live incarnation of the savage savage sound system. Did you know there is a tartan for the name Savage in Scotland? I should be able to make next sunday!
