Press Materials : Pres Savage Republic - Live in Long Beach FRI MAY 30 LONG LIVE DEATH Doors 9pm / 21+ only / $10 Located at Que Sera 1923 Seventh Street Long Beach CA event website: http://myspace.com/happiesteventonearth Read Press Previews of the show: Long Beach District: "Men from the Underground" In the old LA scene, you were lucky if the cops didn’t come and beat everyone up,” guitarist Ethan Port told me once. “We come from that paranoid sensibility where it’s illegal to do art!” A one-time reunion tour in early 2006 became the second moment for Savage Republic, when Neurot released a new LP called 1938 in 2007. “It’s 1938 all over again—waiting for the fall!” sings Thom Fuhrmann on a last song drowning in dread. These are still savage times, Port said: “The punk scene was kind of like laughing while the H-bomb hits you in the face, like laughing in the face of danger—it was very into irony and sarcasm and double entendres, and after 9/11 I couldn’t get into that. It was like a slap in the face. I think about Weimar Germany before Hitler came in. There’s definitely a feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop.” LONG LIVE DEATH WITH SAVAGE REPUBLIC QUE SERA | 1923 E 7TH ST | LONG BEACH 90813 | FRI 9PM | $10 | 21+ | THEQUESERA.COM Orange County Weekly preview Band of the Week: Inland Empire Weekly s Photo Savage Republic - 2007 (L to R) Alan Waddington, Greg Grunke, Thom Fuhrmann, Val Haller, Ethan Port Credit: Ramona clarke-Fuhrmann (click for hi-res photo)s Click on the photo to open or download the 300 DPI Hi-Resolution JPG version of each photo Savage Republic - Ceremonial Photo - Scott Sing 1985 Photo taken in the Orocopia Mountains near Mecca,California in 1985 during the Ceremonial photo shoot.

Not to mention the nifty metal percussion clanking and pounding, which they practically invented in the rock context. Some of the guitar sounds were fantastic, including Ethan’s 12-string droneadelicism. The worries that accompany any so-called “reunion” show were for nothing, as Savage Republic showed that the times have not been unkind to them – and the two encores showed that the audience recognized it.
