Cash Savage

Thursday, June 1, 2023, 7:30 – 9:30pm A pillar of Melbourne’s music and queer communities, Cash Savage and her colossal band The Last Drinks launch their new album So This Is Love.Savage’s band The Last Drinks are a powerhouse of fierce, brooding energy and brawling Australian rock. Every performance from them is as epic as it is honest, raw and human.True to the album title, Cash Savage delves deep and with ferocious honesty into what love means to her, as a queer woman coming to terms with a marriage breakup and a mental breakdown. “All love will end, all love will change form”, Cash observes. “If you experience deep love, you don’t judge it as a failure if it doesn’t last. You can love someone after they die, you can love someone in a different way.”The album was made in Melbourne with additional recording in a French château, Gîte St Nicolas à Verdelot, where the band bunked down at the end of last year’s European tour. “One of the greatest joys of my life”, Cash avows, “ is taking these songs that are incredibly personal to me and bringing them to The Last Drinks.
