brocco Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Fresh from absolutely owning Constellations Festival in Leeds, the inimitable Les Savy Fav come back to the UK in February, and we've bagged a Sheffield date - on the 27th, at Corporation. Cannot bloody wait, they are INCREDIBLE. Here's the science bit... DrownedinSound and CLE are proud to present: LES SAVY FAV – http://www.last.fm/music/Les+Savy+Fav Wikipedia says: “Les Savy Fav is a New York City indie rock band. Their style is influenced by art rock and post-hardcore. The group is known for the stage presence of lead singer Tim Harrington.” We say: if you saw their performance at Constellations Festival in Leeds recently, or elsewhere, you'll know that final sentence is something of an understatement. They're probably the best live rock band on the planet, and it's an absolute privilege to finally be bringing them to Sheffield. The press says, in relation to the band's latest album 'Root For Ruin': “Les Savy Fav hunker down to return to what they do best: a masterful combination of post-hardcore energy, tight white funk and playful art-school abstractions.” - Mojo (8/10) “Roots For Ruin burns with their reignited love of Fugazi, Pixies and Pavement.” - Uncut (8/10) “The band's tightest and most polished album yet.” - AllMusic (8/10) “This is perhaps their strongest yet, their angular sounds augmented by a succession of memorable hooks, any one of which could be the one to break them into the mainstream after 14 year” - Q “Root For Ruin is a worthy continuation of their oeuvre, and a better album than 07's 'Let's Stay Friends'” - Rock Sound (7/10) + Supports @ Corporation, Milton Street, Sheffield, S1 4JU Doors: 7pm Age: 14+ Price: £14adv Telephone: 0114 276 0262 TICKETS ON SALE AT 9AM ON FRIDAY 3 DECEMBER Online: http://www.corporation.org.uk/ http://www.gigantic.com/ http://www.seetickets.com/ http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/ http://www.ticketline.co.uk/ http://www.wegottickets.com/ Outlets: Rocky Horrors - Division St, Sheffield, 0114 249 3461 Arcade - The Forum, Sheffield, 0114 272 0569 Fuse - The Forum, Sheffield, 0114 2491373 The Harley - Glossop Road, Sheffield, 0114 275 2288 Spaceman - West St, Sheffield, 0114 278 7808 The Wick At Both Ends, Sheffield, 0114 272 3039 Mesmerize - Rotherham, 01709 821403 Hellraiser Records - Leeds, 0113 2470800 Crash Records - Leeds, 0113 2436743 Jumbo Records - Leeds, 0113 2425019 Void - Nottingham, 0115 9520039 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
