Story


Cash Savage And the Last Drinks announce their upcoming album “So This Is Love” on March 9 with their new single “Keep Working At Your Job.” The first single is a wiry post-punk song – almost a lament – about the mills of late capitalism: “I think you’re just like me,” Cash sings, “Broken like the rest of us.Keep it all inside, keep working at your job.”

Cash Savage is an icon of the music and queer community in her native Melbourne. She has spent the last decade touring with her band, spreading her very own version of rock and roll. The Last Drinks are: Joe White (guitar), Rene Mancuso (drums), Kat Mear (violin), Nick Finch (bass), Roshan Khozouei (keyboards), Dougal Shaw (guitar) and Ed Fraser (guitar). Their live shows are legendary. A cacophony of emotions and sounds, with Cash Savage in the eye of the storm.

The theme of fragility runs like a thread through the nine songs: mental health, an unstable economy, the fragility of the environment and our personal relationships, all on the verge of collapse; that’s what “So This Is Love” is about. Cash Savage explores deeply and with unsparing honesty what love means to her as a queer woman coping with a failed marriage and mental breakdown. “All love will end, all love will change form”, she notes. “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 struggle with depression is at the heart of this album. Cash reflects on the daily struggles with her own mental health and the struggles of a songwriter to be creative and productive during an extremely difficult time. “I had to come to terms with the reality of mental fragility,” Cash says, “feeling the pressure to be there for my family, to create music and exist as I did before, and not coping at all. Depression is a human experience, but having not experienced it before, I had no idea how it infiltrates everything – your relationships, your self-worth, your capacity to work and create. It’s definitely given me a new level of understanding about mental health and compassion for what people go through.”

So This Is Lovewas produced in Melbourne by Cash Savage and Nick Finch together with their sound engineer Nao Anzai. Furthermore made Cash Savage And The Last Drinks recordings in a French castle, Gîte St Nicolas à Verdelot, where they took up residence at the end of last year’s European tour. “One of the greatest joys of my life is taking these songs that are incredibly personal to me and bringing them to The Last Drinks. I am so proud of this collection of creative humans I have brought together, who have so much love and respect for each other.” – Cash Savage

Cash Savage And The Last Drinks ‘So This Is Love’ will be released April 28 on Glitterhouse Records followed by an extensive international tour.
