Biography

Having met in 1995 while attending art college in Rhode Island, Tim Harrington, Seth Jabber, Syd Butler, and Gibb Slife got together to form Les Savy Fav, reflecting their musical interests in such artists as Nation of Ulysses, Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Jawbox, among others. Two years of gigging around the East Coast ensued before Sub Pop took a shine and released their appropriately titled [roviLink="MC"]"SubPop7," which was followed by their first full-length, 3/5, that same year on Self Starter Foundation Records. Following the recruitment of drummer Harrison Haynes, DeSoto Records issued their second album, The Cat and the Cobra. In 2000 Emor: Rome Upside Down was released. ~ Mike DaRonco
