“Shot from the arm of Chuck Berry, Johnny Thunders, and Don Covay, the trashed out street vibe, low rider soul, and rock n roll verities of this record are old world charm enacted, the end result of a man fascinated with the denizens of a society hellbent on squeezing out all the fun, all the flash, all the pizzazz, in favor of an imagined security the new world order insists upon giving us. The stories are familiar-down and outers, boozers, losers, cheats, liars, strippers, crazies- all told from the perspective of a passive pimp, a weary passenger on the electric ride of life. Cody Chesnutt or Van Hunt may be considered contemporaries, but neither have Savoir Faire's ramshackle rocker outlook, fashioning much slicker product, more in synch with genre placement than the mutant, grindhouse exploitation that litters the bulk of Hooray For Hollywood.” FRANKIE DELMANE - TRASH Savoir Faire Hooray For Hollywood (Tantra) And now its time for the further adventures of Savoir Faire – our favorite Hollywood record store clerk by day and guitar totin' 90210 pimp by night! When last we peeped out our lusty hero he was on some ol' Prince by way of Bobby Womack tip. On his latest disc, Savoir his tapped into his inner Jagger (as in Rolling Stone Mick), primarily collaborating with "ni**er twin accomplice, multi-instrumentalist Luther Russell, plus bassist Jason Hiller. Highlights of the 10-song set include the honky tonk raunchiness of "L.A. Breakdown" (a kind of rock n roll blues for Los Angeles with shades of Rod Stewart's "Hot Legs"), "Pirate of the Hollywood Hills" (straight pimpin'), the raucous orgiastic rumpus of "Crazy Shoes" and, best of all, the surprisingly tender and sincere "Not So Tough" (about a girl whose vulnerability comes down). Savoir records are always Big Fun and Born Loose, so check this one out, then slum the netherworld for his previous underground rarities! Contact: www.myspace.com/savoirfaire As reviewed by Scott Galloway/Urban Network Magazine “ SAVOIR FAIRE-HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD! At last! like a backseat love child of Johnny "Guitar" Watson and Keith Richards, Savoir Faire brings us his magnum opus, an exploration/exploitation of the sleazy side of Hollywood, which is pretty much the whole thing. Fans of the New York Dolls, Guns & Roses, and Iceberg Slim need to get this! Review by White Widow ” White Widow - Amoeba blog Savoir Faire digests some 20 odd years of Hollywood living and regurgitates it through a filter of Johnny Thunders, Larry Williams and Thin Lizzy for all of us to choke on. That puke tastes pretty good and sounds even better hitting the sidewalk in the perpetual sunshine. Savoir is there to capture it all, like if Lou Reed was hipper and lived here instead of there. Hooray for Savoir Faire!!!” SCOTT HURST - AMOEBA'S MUSIC WE LIKE “Also today on THE VINYL SHELF, check out the new sound of SAVOIR FAIRE-- BRAND NEW Vinyl LP "Hooray For Hollywood" is out NOW.
