1) Little is known about this mid-'60s group, which has variously been reported to be from Bermuda or to be a group of Americans who were based in Bermuda when their sole LP, Live 'n Wild, was recorded. That album, recorded live at the Princess Hotel in Bermuda (according to the liner notes), stands as one of the best '60s full-length garage platters. Composed almost wholly of original material, the group played top-notch tunes with heavy echoes of the Beatles, Searchers, and Byrds, with a much greater melodic sense than the typical American garage combo, though a pleasing rawness is evident throughout.
Guitarist/singer Paul Muggleton was part of a short-lived group called Omaha Sherriff (produced by Tony Visconti), who recorded one album in England (Come Hell or High Water, 1977), and also sang on four late-'70s/early-'80s albums by Judy Tzuke on Rocket and Chrysalis (the fact that they were all English releases leading one to believe that they were from Bermuda). And drummer Howie Rego may have been part of a mid-'70s progressive band called Stardrive, who recorded for Elektra and Columbia. Nothing has ever turned up concerning the group's two other members, Jimmy O'Conner and Bobby Zuill.
2) The Savages is a Rock N Roll band from Bombay (now Mumbai), formed in 1960 and the starting point in tracing the history of rock music in India was of course the musicians that they have played with and watched concerts of. Strangely enough, they kept ending up at Rock Machine/Indus Creed. Everyone story led back to, "It all began with Rock Machine..." There were passing statements along the lines of, "Of course, there were bands before that but they did covers. They played club gigs but no one remembers." Founded in 1967 by Bashir Sheikh, the Savages went beyond playing cover versions, and started writing their own material. Back in the days, there were earlier variants of the rock competitions that we see today. One of these was the Simla Beat contest, sponsored by Simla cigarettes, an ITC brand. The Savages won the 1967 edition of the Simla Beat contest. Another prestigious Bombay festival was the Sound Trophy. The Savages won the Sound Trophy for Best Composition and Best Band in 1968, and in the process snagged a recording deal with Polydor India Ltd. The most consistent and well-remembered line up of the band was stabilizing at this point of time with Bashir Sheikh (drums and vocals), Ralph Pais (bass guitar), Hemant Rao (lead guitar), and Prabhakar Mundkur (keyboards and vocals). Various line up changes happened in the years after this with Hemant Rao leaving for Dubai and replaced by Russell Perreira. However, one of the crucial line-up changes featured the inclusion of a young architecture student, originally from Goa, named Remo Fernandes. Remo played with The Savages for a year and a half during his architecture course in Bombay. Featuring some of the first few original compositions by Remo, the album sounds like a delicate blend of retro rock, folk rock, and early acid rock. After Remo left the Savages, another line-up shuffle found Joe Alvares singing for the band. Notable for his booming tenor voice, Joe sang on the next Savages album, titled Black Scorpio. Though the album itself was mostly populated by cover versions, Prabhakar Mundkur had also taken to songwriting and the Savages frequently performed 7-8 instrumental originals, and 3-4 originals with vocals in the many shows that they played during these years. Joe Alvares left the band in 1974 for personal reasons and the band briefly tried to recruit another vocalist. At about the same time, Nandu Bhende's band, The Brief Encounter, was also faced by the prospect of some members leaving. Sensing an opportunity, the two combined to form The Savage Encounter.
Band Members :
Bashir Sheik – Drums / Vocals
Ralph Pais - Bass
Hemanth Rao – Lead Guitars
Prabhakar Mundkur – Keyboards / Vocals
Remo Fernandes – Vocals / Guitars
Russel Periera – Guitars
Joe Alvares – Lead Vocals
3) The Savages are electrosoul, first generation rock and roll band from Vallejo, CA, United States. They are a 21st century sound for heathens, future see-ers and the civilized alike. Their music draws equally from the seductiveness of R 'n' B, the honesty of Soul, the explosiveness of Rock and the root of it all that ties them all together.
While growing up in their formative teenage years, each of the savages were playing in different bands with different sounds. Through mutual connections and mutual dissolution of each of their bands they decided to get together and make a new type of music and continue on as musicians and artists.
Creating and playing together for the past two years at various venues around the bay, they hope to expand their range and sound and use music as a powerful force that it is.

憂いの瞳は今何を映す？
生まれた歓びさえ曇り出す世界で
出逢えた奇跡だけは忘れないで
迷わずにいられるのなら
step by step 容易いだろう
風のように
幾千の涙を越え暁の荒野を行く
さぁTrust myself.
Don't be afraid. 変わる事は
怖れる事じゃない
君が君であるならば
Will be with you.
穏やかな日を夢見て
道無き旅路は続く
乾いた大地を蹴り 熱を解き放て
運命は切り裂けばいい 心のまま
晴れ渡る空がこんなにも
day by day美しいのは
闇を知るから
幾干の涙を越え蒼穹の荒野を行く
彷徨う昨日に終幕を
そうRay of light.
すべてを愛するには
あまりに未完成すぎて
もがくこともなく立ち尽くす
'sometimes wanna cry.
愛しき光の行方
歓びの調べ 争いの嘆き
哀しきかな ふたつでひとつ
それでも嗚呼...命は続くの
幾千の涙を越え想いは荒野を行く
いつか傷は癒えるから
さぁ Trust myself.
すべてを愛するには
あまりに未完成だけど
君が君であるならば
Will be with you.
愛しき光夢見て遥かな旅路は続く
The lyrics to The Savages’s song “No No No” touch on themes of money, survival, and ambition. The song speaks to the realities of life in the streets and the struggle to make ends meet. The hook, “Shey you no Dey see say boys no get joy at all” is a nod to the fact that the pursuit of money can be joyless for some individuals. The repetition of “no cap” throughout the song emphasizes the importance of authenticity and honesty in the singer’s lifestyle, and the phrase “ion wanna die poor” underscores the desperation that motivates their hustle.

I'm hustling, being reckless, and living the thug life until I die
Brutal like bandit, when it's time to get my money
I'm ruthless when it comes to getting my money
Heart cold I'm freezing, where the spark I light my kpoli
I'm emotionally numb and use cannabis to feel something
Shey you no Dey see say boys no get joy at all
Don't you see that boys aren't happy or fulfilled?
Nha money I Dey reason ma lor bami rojor
Money is my motivation, there's no other reason
I ain't doing no cappin, ion wanna die poor
I'm not lying, I don't want to die poor
So man steady grinding make the money Dey pile up
I'm constantly working hard to accumulate wealth
I'm warming up stacking paper up
I'm starting to earn more money and it's adding up
Doing all I can, say what you want, ion give a fuck
I'm doing everything I can to make money without caring about anyone's opinion
I'm running digits up, I don't act like I care cos I don't give a fuck no no
I'm making a lot of money but I'm not showing it off or caring what anyone thinks
Every thought is getting more money
My mind is constantly focused on making more money
Even when you see me for IG posting Man it's all for money
Even when it looks like I'm enjoying something on social media, it's ultimately for making money
When I get paid sure I'm smiling fuck your hatred ion see it
When I get paid, I'm happy and don't care about anyone who hates on me
Get money or get what can't think of sumtin to replace it
I need to make money and can't think of anything else to do instead
I'm about the big bag no friendship if it ain't for money
I prioritize making a lot of money over any sort of friendship if it doesn't involve money
Let's win together and spare em snitches all the bullshit
Let's make money together and avoid talking about people who would potentially snitch on us
I'm young and wild been on the street all my life
I'm young and reckless and grew up on the streets
What is you talking about Don't mess around with my stacks
I don't know what you're talking about, don't mess with my money
You say I Dey Para now you dunno what I desire
You think I'm paranoid but you don't know what I really want
So make you shut mouth or make watch what you yarn
Either shut up or be careful about what you say to me
But the shii real as fuck man living dangerous
The life I'm living is real and dangerous
Ion want case with em law so I'm using my medula
I want to avoid getting in trouble with the law, so I'm using my brain to be smart
You know I want the rubs I just wanna chase the big bag
You know I want material possessions, I just want to make a lot of money
Make the money Dey pile up, in the air like say I be pilot
Let the money keep accumulating, it's as if I'm piloting an aircraft
Doing my thing I don't want trouble
I'm doing what I need to do to make money without causing any problems
No cappin
I'm not lying or exaggerating

@bjmarchives
tight drumming. great vocals. good tune
@michaelking9926
The four members of the Savages were Jimmy O'Connor, Paul Muggleton, Bobby Zuill and Howie Rego. Joanne Marshall's brother was not in this band. You are probably thinking of Roddy Marshall. I later went on to play with Jimmy and Bobby in another group called the Happening Bda.
@TheMalombra
The cover pictured is absolutely original, but this song 'no no no' was actually recorded in studio with fake crowd noises added to match the album. Just look for some real gems such as ' quite town' or 'the world ain't round'. Overall a great' 66 garage album. I still own a copy with yellow label, but also an original blue one does exist. Enjoy!

Bomb ass song!
