Savage Sound System

http://www.savagerecordings.com/savagesoundsystem
http://www.myspace.com/savagesoundsystem The Savage Sound System began, both sonically and biologically, in a handful of rented rooms on the East Coast of Scotland.
After buying their inspiration second-hand, they frequently found themselves, without prior notice, recording surprisingly tasteful noises. These are systematically projected into the void. Historical Notes:

Aidan O'Rourke

Aidan is a fiddle player and composer from the Isle of Seil on the West Coast of Scotland. He has toured extensively in Europe and North America from the age of 15 and has made his name as one of Scotland’s most expressive and dynamic musicians. At 19, Aidan formed Tabache with Claire Mann and went on to record the internationally acclaimed album ‘Waves of Rush’. Aidan now performs with the hugely successful BLAZIN' FIDDLES (Live Act of the Year 2004) and in an exiting new trio called LAU with KRIS DREVER and MARTIN GREEN.

Julie Fowlis

Mark Radcliffe hailed her voice and songs as “enchanting, beguiling and as fascinating as songs by Kate Bush and Björk” and KT Tunstall described her voice as "formidable and amazingly rhythmic". The elfin figure they are describing is Julie Fowlis, a talented singer and instrumentalist from Scotland. She is the BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year 2008 and in a few short years has taken the music scene by storm...

Ex Wives

Ex Wives are two divorced women and a drum machine. Despite the obvious heartache and mistrust of men, they have bonded closely to make loud, noisy music; all of which is loosely based on the film Disclosure, starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore. It's like Le Tigre, but with less facial hair.
