Savage Republic was the first band I ever saw play live when I was 14. It was such an awesome show, beginning with the surreal-ness of the setting...the backyard of a farmhouse in the boonies west of Davis, next to a swimming pool and halfway into a crop-circle cut at the edge of a mature cornfield. The torches they had lit had me worried the whole place would go up in flames, but it was a perfect night.
I also met band members, and it was quite a thing for me because it was so easy, and all I had ever known was hearing them on the radio as a kid, and I had no idea that any musicians needn't be treated like big stars. I remember being really embarrassed at first, but later feeling that people were kinda making a bigger deal of me being 14 and this being my first show experience than I was about Savage Republic.
It all came full-circle for me when Savage Republic played my living room about a year and a half back. They were outstanding.
They will be touring this summer in support of a new record.
