Biography
"Lisa Savidge" is the forthcoming second LP from Phoenix-based NoisePop band Lisa Savidge. This record sees the band developing as sonic architects - building beautiful and expansive soundscapes from noise and guitar fuzz.
Lisa Savidge was originally founded by Dan Somers: Having gone somewhat mad during brief but illustrious career doing Very Bad Things as an intelligence operative for the government and various mercenary organizations, he decided to turn his efforts toward good instead of evil. Toward this end, he assembled a band of merry musical miscreants - a violinist on guitar, a classical percussionist on drums, an electronics wizard on keyboards, and a technical guitarist on bass - to push the limits of what is possible and prod at the ears and minds of the Vox Populi.
The end result is something of a love letter to the music that ushered in the current millennial generation: Post Punk, Shoegaze, New Wave, Prog, and Alternative. Frequent comparisons include U2, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Pink Floyd, Pixies, and Arcade Fire. In the years since it's inception, Lisa Savidge has become known for intense live performances, socially positive leanings (having raised tens of thousands of dollars for a variety of charitable organizations), and "colorful" marketing (web-tracked chain albums, guerilla distribution of unusual items, mailing prepaid cell-phones filled with coded messages to various members of the music industry, and so forth).
