I’m off to a late start on this one. The last time I had heard of/seen Les Savy Fav was in Mahwah, NJ at Ramapo College in 2003 with Sleep Station. I was standing in the back of the crowd, nodding my head as I usually do when Tim Harrington (vocals) of Les Savy Fav jumped off stage, ran towards me, jumped on my back and demanded I give him a “piggy-back” around the room…in which I reluctantly agreed. After that, I hadn’t heard a peep from the band until recently a friend of mine sent me a promo copy of their latest effort in 4 years – Let’s Stay Friends (French Kiss Records). This CD was everything I loved about Go Forth, but there is something much more raw and exciting about it. Let’s just say this CD literally jumped on my back and demanded I give it a ride around the room.
