Rehearsal Space: Les Savy Fav

For more episodes of Rehearsal Space, go to http://weallmakemusic.com/topic/video-series/rehearsal-space/

It's easy to see why Les Savy Fav have been called godfathers of the independent music. Formed in 1995, they found critical and cult success for everything from their intelligent lyrics to their outrageous live shows. In 2005, the band members took a hiatus and focused on their non-band occupations. Despite speculation that Les Savy Fav had broken-up for good, they returned to in 2007 with a series of blistering live performances. Their newest album, Lets Stay Friends, further solidifies their place as one of the very best bands around today.

In this episode of Rehearsal Space, band members Tim Harrington and Syd Butler talk about why having creative control is more important to them than being on a label, what role 'unprofessionalism' plays in the band, and finally, what advice they have for new bands.

Kudos to them for paying respect to Modest Mouse, one of the great bands of their time.
