Public Works and Rebel Bass Collective Present:

SAVOY and VIRTUAL BOY. A STS9 Afterparty goin late!

Presale tickets: http://publicsf-savoy.eventbrite.com

NYC (via colorado) based SAVOY’s rock edged, yet club-geared releases, along with their notoriously high energy shows have spawned a hybrid dance culture of its own. In just under a year and a half, the live electro-house trio has made a name for itself by effectively bridging the gap between the concert venue rocker and the club-bangin’ partier – and the result is a rapidly emerging new market that can’t seem to get enough. In such a short period of time, SAVOY has truly established themselves as not only talented producers but as innovators of live electronic music. 2009 marked the release of SAVOY’s first full-length album “Automatic” and was followed with rave reviews.
