Savages at The Independent | San Francisco, California | 9/29/2013 (Concert Review)

The real thing.  Real, authentic rock artists can’t be manufactured… they are born.  And standing witness to the phenomenal performance by London-based post-punk revival rock band Savages, I had a deep feeling that maybe they were born a few decades later than when they should have been, yet it makes them that much more powerful.  Having been born in 1973 myself, I was too young and on the wrong continent to catch the original shows put on by pioneering artists such as Bauhaus, Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Cure…  but I had this deep sense and feeling in watching Savages at The Independent last night that maybe what I felt like experiencing their show is what it may have felt like back in the day with those iconic bands.  This was the second of two sold out shows in San Francisco.  It was a different sort of show – unlike any of the 75 or so others I’ve attended thus far this year, and the many more going back years prior to that…  there is nothing contrived or manufactured about Savages.  Nothing at all – it is just pure post-punk art at its finest, in the best format of all – a live concert performance.  They have brought something new to this space that hasn’t been felt in decades – even by those original players still recording today.  A true resurrection.  And given the state of society and culture today, it could not be more timely.
