The Savages were a garage rock band from Bermuda that were active in the mid-1960s.〔Unterberger, Richie. "The Savages: Artist Profile."

Psychedelic Rock 'n' Roll. http://psychedelic-rocknroll.blogspot.com/2009/12/savages-live-n-wild-bermuda-duane-1966.html〕 This song has become regarded as a classic '60s anthem of youthful defiance.〔〔〔 ==History== The Savages were formed in 1965 by Paul Muggleton and Jimmy O'Connor, both guitarists.〔〔 They would often watch fellow Bermudan band, the Gents, play at nightclubs and decided to form a band of their own. They recruited Bobby Zuill, on bass, and Howie Rego, on drums.〔 Muggleton usually sang lead vocals, but Zuill handled vocals on certain numbers.〔 According to Paul Muggleton, "We were not sons of diplomants…my father was a printer…both Jimmy O'Connor's and bobby Zuill's fathers were sea captains and Howie Rego's father had a supermarket.“〔 The band played teen functions and eventually were able to gain a residence at the Hub, a nightclub at the Princess Hotel, sometimes doing as many a three gigs a day, often for American college students on vacation.〔Unterberger, Richie. "The Savages: Artist Profile." Allmusic. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-savages-mn0001217264/biography〕〔 They would sign with the Duane label, which also housed the Gents, run by Eddie DeMello, who would also manage the band and produce their material.〔 The group had previously done mostly covers of other artists' songs, until they were asked by the label to cut a full album of material, which necessitated the urge to come up with a batch of original songs.〔 DeMello decided to record the album live as a way of capturing their natural excitement. So, on February 6, 1966, the band were recorded during a live performance in front of about 150 patrons at the Hub, which featured the group doing self-composed songs such as "Poor Man’s Son", "Man on the Moon", "Quiet Town", and the ventful "The World Ain't Round It's Square," sung in a scowling voice by Bobby Zuill.〔〔〔 According to Rob Zuill, "...we were so scared that we played everything too fast..." The album also would contain three cover songs from the performance, which would include a version of the Icelandic song, "Ertu Med" which would also be recorded in a very different manner by Thor's Hammer later in 1966.〔 One of Savages' original songs recorded this night, "No No No," would be covered by Connecticut band The Instincts.〔 The resulting album taken from the show, ''Live 'n Wild,'' was a surprisingly diverse collection, containing a balance of rock & roll songs and ballads.〔Unterberger, Richie. "The Savages: Artist Profile." Allmusic. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-savages-mn0001217264/biography〕〔 Four songs would appear as A and B sides on singles, including "The World Ain't Round It's Square."〔 DeMello set up a tour of the West Indies for the band and arranged for them to go to New York to play and record.〔 While in New York, they recorded a single, featuring "Roses are Red," which would be released on the Duane label, later in 1966.〔 However, just as they were beginning to establish themselves in New York, the members got involved in a life-threatening incident, provoked by two members of the band.〔 As a result of hard feelings created by the incident, the band broke up before the end of the year.〔 Paul Muggleton, would later become a member of the group Omaha Sheriff in the 70s and would also record vocal tracks on some of Judy Tzuke's albums in the late 70s and early 80s.〔 Drummer Howie Rego is said to have played with mid-70s progressive rock group, Stardive, who recorded for Electra and Columbia.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Savages (Bermuda band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
