A. Savage - SOLO NZ TOUR 2024 — live event
<p><em>“He is surely one of the finest lyricists working in music today” - </em><strong>Under The Radar Magazine</strong></p><p>As the co-frontman for celebrated New York City post-punk band <strong>Parquet Courts</strong>, <strong>A. Savage </strong>has stalked across more stages around the world than we’d care to guess. In fact, Savage was last here with his band in 2022, just a few weeks after the borders reopened. Now, he’s heading back for his <strong>very first solo tour of Aotearoa</strong>.</p><p>Here on the heels of his recent solo outing <strong><em>Several Songs About Fire</em></strong>, and 2024’s standalone single <strong><em>Black Holes, the Stars, and You</em></strong>, A. Savage is set to bring his brilliant bag of tricks our way, with club shows in <strong>Lyttelton </strong>and <strong>Wellington</strong>, and a pivotal spot at <strong>The Others Way Festival </strong>on <strong>Saturday 30 November</strong>.</p><p>Not your ordinary rock star, A. Savage is also an exhibiting painter and visual artist, voracious reader, and thoughtful son of a gun. The John Parish-produced <strong><em>Several Songs About Fire </em></strong>refines and bottles the essence of Savage’s songwriting, often slowing the pace but increasing the potency. <strong>Mojo </strong>noted the album “...<em>traces lines to both Bill Callahan's downbeat philosophising and Jonathan Richman's crafted wit and primal rock'n'roll chug</em>”, and <strong>Paste Magazine </strong>enthused that “<em>when it flares, it blazes high</em>”.</p><p>Anyone who has ever borne witness to Savage on stage will attest there is nobody in the business who occupies that space quite like him. In a recent review of the A. Savage live show, longstanding music mag <strong>Under the Radar </strong>exclaimed “<em>Hardly a side gig, Savage’s solo work and performance is right on par with his best work in his better known role</em>,” before going on to call it “<em>one heck of a compelling live show</em>”.</p><p>Friends, these shows are going to be very special indeed.</p>
