Savak with Hamish Kilgour 6/25/16 Cafe 9

Moptop Kilgour was in the 80s band The Clean from New Zealand. They had a cult following and some under the radar hits. On this evening, Kilgour sang and strummed fractured folk songs with a Lou Reed delivery, even breaking into a little I'm Waiting for the Man tease. Decent songwriting and ok guitar-work (I think he played drums in The Clean) were augmented by a great kiwi accent.
Savak played intelligent indie rock with some punk drive. Dueling guitar vocals, muscular bass, and frenetic drums were the foursome. I chatted with one of the guitar/vocalists prior to the show. He was wearing a WFMU Tshirt and his name was Sorob and was originally from Iran.
