History

2008-2014: Formation and Wolf & The Hypnotiser

Singer and songwriter Cash Savage grew up in Port Albert, in the Gippsland region of Victoria, and is the eldest of five children.[1] Born into a musical family, Savage's uncle was Conway Savage, a veteran Australian rock musician and keyboardist for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.[1][2] Savage began playing gigs around Melbourne at age 17.

In 2008, Savage formed the Last Drinks as her backing band, with no fixed line-up, but instead including whoever was available to play on any given night. A self-released, self-titled EP was released in 2008. Savage credits Fitzroy venue The Old Bar as the band's spiritual home.[2] In 2010, the band released Wolf.

The band's line-up was solidified in 2013, and they recorded The Hypnotiser at Head Gap Studios in Preston, Victoria, produced by Nick Finch (Graveyard Train) and engineered by Nao Anzai.[2] The album was featured in year-end critic lists by Triple R, PBS 106.7FM, and Beat Magazine. "I’m in Love" was nominated for Best Song at the Music Victoria Awards of 2013.[3]

2015-present: One of Us & Good Citizens

In 2015, the band was signed to independent Australian label Mistletone Records to release its third studio album, One of Us (2016).[4] The album's lyrical content reflects a tumultuous personal period for Savage.[5] Upon its release, One of Us received very favourable critical reviews from publications such as the Sydney Morning Herald, the Herald Sun, and Beat Magazine,[6][7][8] and was named Album of the Week by Triple R.[9] The album's success saw the band tour Europe in 2015 and 2016, playing shows and festivals in Czech Republic, France, Poland, Netherlands and Austria.[10][11]

Following their first international tour, the band received distribution for their 2nd and 3rd albums across Europe by Beast Records.[11]
