Oh shit, it’s the Bon Savants. One of the original pill bands – dating back to the Upstairs Lounge circle of trust and inclusion on 2004’s “Tomorrow Never Happened” pill compilation – the Bon Savants return to our little dance party in a modern indie haze of shimmering post-rock smarts. Lead Savant Thom is back in town for a spell as he gets his learn on out in California, but even in his near-tragic absence, the other Savs have been prevalent in the local music circuit: Drummer Andrew Dole and keyboardist Tia Carioli have been moonlighting in the Next Great Dance Hope known as Mystery Roar and bassist Dave Wessel has been lending his love to Lindsey Starr & the Chemical Smiles. This Friday, however, the Bon Savants are a glistening indie rock unit set to tower once again, and we can expect some offerings from their upcoming sophomore album as well as the choicest cuts from their still-sterling debut, “Post Rock Defends the Nation.” And with Halloween still flickering in our rear-view, it should be noted this is the band that nailed Pulp at our 2nd annual tribute show in 2004. This should be quite a night, so do join us at our dance party playpen we call Great Scott.
Get reacquainted with the Bon Savants over at bonsavants.com and recall a wonderful moment when “Between The Moon And The Ocean” made you feel like a gentle gerbera daisy on a warm spring morning. Before and after the band, DJs Ken & Michael V spin the best in Britpop, Modern Indie and Beyond. Look sharp. Thom will.
