Birmingham show for Barrence Whitfield and The Savages
Barrence Whitfield And The Savages have announced a slew of UK dates in May in support of their new album, including a visit to Birmingham.
Speaking about the new record Soul Flowers of Titan, a spokesman said: "Barrence Whitfield and The Savages' new platter embraces a cosmic and groovy unification. It’s a wild, electric phantasmagoria of blues, rock, garage, and soul.
"It blasts off into diverse orbits only to come back together into a singular Savage cosmology. Soul Flowers of Titan is about people shooting guns, separating, coming home someday, falling in love, running around, leaving this earth, going crazy, drinking coffee, and thinking about Sun Ra."
Long-time followers of the Savage Sound will notice right away a heavier vibe and a live-in-the-room urgency. It encompasses staccato blues scales, punk and garage riffs, fronted by a vocalist well-heeled in the aesthetics of soul, R&B, and rockabilly.
Soul Flowers of Titan is Barrence Whitfield and The Savages’ fourth LP since reforming in 2010 after a 25-year hiatus.
Fans will be able to hear tracks from the album when the band arrive at Birmingham's O2 Academy 3 on May 15.
