Starting off somewhere around 2001, when Nico Maho and Thomas Vanelslander (Arno / Raymond vh Groenewoud / Woodface / Stijn) met through a mutual friend. The atmosphere was loose, people were having a good time, parties were attended, . Making music is so much fun.
Things got more serious when in 2005 they realized that their sound was actually different from other crap, the songs were catchy and friends seemed to share these feelings ;-)
Longtime friend CJ Bolland came into the picture during the making of "Night Vulture", big up to him by the way! The whole was mixed by Jan 'Jakke" De Rijck (Turtle Power Studio), who worked with people like Gabriel Rios, Zap Mama, A Brand, Novastar, .
To get things rocking in a live situation, they called upon Didier De Vogelas (Arsenal, Melnik) to bang his drums and Walter Poppeliers (De Nieuwe Snaar) to groove them basslines. Live Premiere at Atelier (Antwerp) was critically acclaimed.
In November 2006 a first EP (Night Vulture) and single (8 Day's Weekend) was released through the label of the band's management, Tourcontrol. The single also featured remixes by STIJN, CJ Bolland and Lester Bangs. And to top it off there was a funky video ;-)
Garage Sauvage was invited to support Praga Khan (AB, Brussels) and Zornik (Lotto Arena, Antwerp).
By the end of 2007 the live formula was brought back to the roots of Garage Sauvage: 2 guys, 3 mics, loops, beats, guitars, samplers and keyboards. But who knows where it might take us in the future.
The first full cd (Ready To Surrender) is released in January 2008 and reviews are looking good! ;-)
