Missa inte den energiska Barrence Whitfield (US) tillsammans med det kompetenta Wentus Blues Band (FIN). Den intima scenen på Restaurang Ester garanterar den optimala upplevelsen för en blueslover.
Welcome to his nightmare. Barrence Whitfield sings like a man grappling with insanity through most of Under the Savage Sky (Bloodshot), and hes not going quietly. Instead, Whitfield and the Savages throw a party -- or is it a fit? -- while busting out of their straitjackets.

The quintet perfected a Molotov cocktail of R&B, rockabilly and punk while part of the early-80s Boston scene. It relied on obscure covers and built a formidable reputation as a live act, then splintered. Founding members Whitfield, guitarist Peter Greenberg and bassist Phil Lenker reunited a few years ago and their 2012 comeback album, Dig Thy Savage Soul, put a new emphasis on original songwriting that stretched the bands dramatic boundaries.

On the new album, Greenberg again contributes a handful of songs to the toughest sounding Savages recording yet, and his Willow sets the tone. With its nuclear riff suggesting a Stooges outtake, the track ramps up in intensity until Whitfields voice unravels. Adjunct City provides the flip side, a moody yet hard-riffing 3 a.m. confessional about temptation and lust. A cover of Timmy Willis 1970 soul nugget, Im a Full Grown Man, allows Whitfield to flesh out the origins of his narrators obsessions: I fell in love at the age of 3. The driving would-be dance craze The Claw provides a respite, and Im a Good Man sounds like a well-intentioned but ultimately hopeless case of wishful thinking. On The Wolf Pack, Whitfield howls into the darkness, and Angry Hands oozes menace with its churning guitar and diary-of-a-lunatic narrative: Cruel birds taunting me from the trees. By the end, his bloody demise gets downright surreal: Why must the last thing that I see be the bright full moon in the daylight sky? As implied by the album cover, which evokes a scene from Alfred Hitchcocks horror classic The Birds, the Savages arent just reviving their past, theyre taking their music to new levels of madness.
