CASH SAVAGE & THE LAST DRINKS
with special guests
After an incredible 18 months, following the release of their critically acclaimed LP The Hypnotiser, Cash Savage And The Last Drinks announce a handful of select shows, including their first in WA, as they begin to roadtest songs for album number three.
The Hypnotiser - an incredible work of depth, sorrow, love and tragedy - racked up an EG Award Song Of The Year nomination [for lead single 'I'm In Love'], was one of the Top 25 Highly Recommended albums on the Coopers AMP Music Prize list and featured prominently in Top 10 Albums of 2013 lists from the country's leading music journalists across numerous publications including the Herald Sun, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.
PBS FM [where the album was an early feature album] listed The Hypnotiser in their Top 10 for 2013, and longtime lovers of the band Mess+Noise marked 'I'm In Love' as one of 2013's Top Tracks, while their often hard-to-impress readers put the album in their Top 50 for the year.
Making RRR's Album Of the Week, PBS's Feature Album and securing a position on SYN FM's Sweet 16 with album track 'Let Go', support for the stunning record [yes, available on vinyl] was strong across community radio programming, with a Feature Album also awarded by 2SER.
Brisbane's 4zzz highlighted the record as a 'Music Department Pick' and triple j's Roots 'N All, Radio National and ABC Radio all came calling for interviews, while the album's title track held steady on the AIRIT Great Southern Charts' Top 10 for weeks, arriving at #1 on the Now Charts.
The Australian World Music Expo selected Cash Savage And The Last Drinks to showcase for global booking agents in November, where the band performed a firestorm show in front of a capacity crowd days before Cash released a highly sought-after vinyl edition of The Hypnotiser.
Kicking off 2014 with celebrated appearances at The Adelaide Fringe Festival, Kyneton Music Festivals, Dark MOFO, Darwin Festival and the stellar Deni Blues & Roots Festival [alongside Dr John, Elvis Costello, John Mayer, Gary Clark Jr, and Steve Earle, this next run sees the band take on WA for the first time, appearing at Wave Rock, before three select hometown shows.
