Texas-native Andrew Savage, who has recorded ten albums (or so) with his Brooklyn-based band Parquet Courts and solo as A. Savage, is one of the indie rock greats of the post-rock ‘n’ roll era we’ve been living in since around 2010. Parquet Courts first penetrated my consciousness in 2013 with the reissue of their 2012 album
I've been to at least a couple really good PCourts concerts, though the last one I went to in 2022 did not really connect for me (not to say they played badly, hard to pinpoint what seemed to be missing). Anyway, I have a ticket for A. Savage in April and looking forward to the show.
For me, Parquet Courts was one of those bands that I thought was “just okay,” only to realize I’d been listening them over and over.

OK, I watched some of it. As a baby boomer, that's about all you can expect of me, right?
The verdict: 70's punk / 90's grunge with slightly (and I emphasize that word) more musicality.
But I'm more than happy to have it explained to me that I'm totally wrong.
The first A Savage only has 1-2 great songs on it. The more recent one is really good. Never seen him live. Jealous!
