Cash Savage

Performing this July with her band The Last Drinks, Cash Savage will leave you thirsty for more. A charismatic performer with a knack for storytelling, Savage puts a gothic spin on blues rock – so you might be surprised by some of her formative musical experiences including Madonna and Baby Spice!

What was the first concert you ever went to?

I went to Madonna's Girly Concert at the MCG with my aunt when I was 12. Her friend waited out overnight to get the tickets. I still have the t-shirt.

What’s your favourite album of all time?

This is nearly an impossible question to answer. The album I have listened to the most is easily Strange Days by The Doors. My family would regularly drive from my home town in South Gippsland to Melbourne. There is a section of the drive that winds through the hills. I would listen to tapes that I stole from my dad's collection in my walkman. Once I found Strange Days I stopped listening to anything else. I still put it on when I drive back home in the dark.

My friends would describe me as... 

A 10 foot fire-breathing dragon.

Whose posters did you have stuck to the wall when you were a teenager?

I had a massive Elvis poster that was glued to the back of my door. I also
had a poster of Baby Spice swigging out of a champagne bottle.

Describe your sound in three words. 

Helluva good time.
