It's time for Beginnings, the podcast where writer and performer Andy Beckerman talks to the comedians, writers, filmmakers and musicians he admires about their earliest creative experiences and the numerous ways in which a creative life can unfold.

On today's episode, I talk to musician and painter Andrew Savage. Originally from Denton, TX, Andrew began playing music seriously when he formed the band Teenage Cool Kids in college in 2006. By the time the group officially disbanded in 2011, Andrew had already been writing music in a new band, Parquet Courts, which he started with his college friend Austin Brown. Since that time, they've released seven albums on labels like What's Your Rupture? and Rough Trade, and Andrew was even nominated for a Grammy for Human Performance's artwork. As a solo artist, Andrew has released two albums, 2017's Thawing Dawn, on his own label Dull Tools and his latest, Several Songs About Fire, which was just released on Rough Trade last week!

Wild, Wild, Wild Horses by A. Savage. I really like this solo project (off of Parquet Courts) and I'm particularly obsessed with this song right now. Ask me how I've twisted the lyrics into a gay t4t interpretation, I dare you

Live Review: A. Savage at YES in Manchester 08 February 2024

Words: Andy Hughes On Thursday evening, with a bitter, ice-cold wind cutting through every layer, I’d never wanted to get off the streets and into the Pink Room at YES more. Amazingly – given our penchant for live outings throughout the 12 months that make up any year – the A. Savage show in Manchester would end up being my first of 2024. Rather fittingly though, half of the live players for…

“There’s a voice from clear across the lake

With an accent that you can't mistake

But this song, it don't take place in Texas

It's a landlocked type of state”

- Andrew Savage

Outside of Pavement’s entire career, I’m not sure if I’ve ever heard a better example of “slacker rock” than Teenage Cool Kids’ Denton After Sunset. This track specifically has been stuck in my head for like 8 months now so I’m gonna talk about it.

Andrew Savage (now of Parquet Courts) speak-sings his way through the song lethargically, like he’s bullshitting an essay, tying together a bunch of absurd one-liners, free associating his way into enlightenment.

Maybe I just listen to The Velvet Underground too much, but to me the guitars here remind me of some of their songs. Gentle, swift, repetitions, two or three chords maximum, all building to an explosive ending. The bass line really steals the show though, it’s so fucking good.

This record is so good it makes me want to go to Denton, Texas.

Ducks Ltd. Live Show Review: 11/16, Schubas, Chicago

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Toronto’s finest arrived at Schubas mere minutes before they were to go on stage, but it didn’t matter. Tom McGreevy sound-checked with the first two lines of Warren Zevon’s “The French Inhaler”, and Duckts Ltd., a year removed from their terrific debut LP Modern Fiction (Carpark), were ready to make the most of their half hour.

Forget that they’re a big part of a much-welcome jangle pop revival happening in Canada and the West Coast of the U.S.: Live, Ducks Ltd. were urgent and punky. McGreevy’s voice on “How Lonely Are You” and “Old Times” was more screechy and yelping than the deadpan he adopts on record. Guitarist Evan Lewis, sworn in as a Canadian citizen earlier that day (!), ripped a solo on “It’s Easy”, seeming more jagged Andrew Savage than wistful Roger McGuinn. On the band’s recordings (which consist of just McGreevy and Lewis), Lewis programs the drums; live drummer Jonathan Pappo’s limber fills provided unexpected might and speed to even dreamy songs like “Under The Rolling Moon”. And the chemistry between other guest touring member Julia Wittmann, McGreevy, Lewis, and Pappo was on point during “Fit To Burst”, which made me realize how much that song’s build up does actually sound like a burst.

Before playing “Fit To Burst”, McGreevy announced the band would play two more before the night’s headliner, Madison’s Disq, would take over. During “Fit To Burst”, he broke a string, ending the night a song early, leaving the rest of us to wonder what the band might have played. (It was, of course, as I confirmed with Pappo after the show, “18 Cigarettes”). But the band’s short, sweet, and unexpectedly pummeling set left me not only wanting more, but feeling lucky that I was able to see them at a small venue before they inevitably headline bigger ones.

Q: I've loved watching all of your interviews together. You've got great chemistry. What was the moment you knew you'd really get along?
