In today’s Los Angeles Times there’s a cool article by Deborah Vankin about Doug Aitken’s Station To Station project. The three week traveling art and music festival was heading from Barstow, CA to LA and Vankin reports on the journey. Musicians who have participated in Station To Station include Patti Smith, Beck, Thurston Moore and Cat Power. Savages and No Age will perform Saturday Sept. 28, 2013 at 16th Street Station in Oakland, CA.

Watch: Savages Release Arty Video For “Husbands”
Savages, the London quartet whose retro post-punk debut, Silence Yourself, was released this past May, have a striking new video for their best song to date, “Husbands.” The video for the song that was inspired by director John Cassavetes’ 1970 film “Husbands,” was directed by John Minton, the Bristol-based filmmaker who previously worked with Portishead. His video for “Husbands” is an arty black and white work that hearkens back to ’60s experimental filmmaking and shows the influence of the late artist Bruce Conner.
Video: Savages’ “She Will” Live at Chicago’s Metro
Last night the British post-punk quartet Savages played Chicago’s Metro. The group released their debut album, Silence Yourself, earlier this year. The album is great, but the band live is killer, as you can see and hear if you check out the video of Savages performing “She Will” below. You can read a pretty good review about the band at the New York Times and you might want to check out this feature from a while back in England’s The Guardian.
