Highbrow Savages

There is a lot of the story of our journey so far in this our first EP, and the artwork for the case. 

The picture inside was taken after our very first gig on Culture Night 2015 at Signal Arts Bray, in their garden behind the gallery space. 

Jim Morrison, one of the organisers, whispered to us... 
“start playing straight away when the music in the gallery stops, and I’ll close the front door to make sure they don’t get away, and I’ll send them all out to the garden.” 

So thanks to Jim we had a great crowd very quickly, and then he even stood out in the road, hustling more people in to give us the best night ever to launch the band! 

The collage theme comes from the banner behind us, and we carried this idea through for the cover (and for the handmade and numbered badges if you’re lucky enough to have got one!) 

If there was more space we’d tell you more strange tales of the Highbrow Savages that are Retrofix, but even better, watch out for the band and catch us live!
