Les Savy Fav (/leɪ ˈsɑːvi ˈfɑːv/ lay SAH-vee FAHV) is a New York City indie rock band. Their style is influenced by art punk and post-hardcore. The group is known for the stage presence of lead singer Tim Harrington. The band is signed to Frenchkiss Records, which is owned by the band's bassist, Syd Butler.
The group's original 1995 line-up all met while attending the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island. Live shows are punctuated by the antics of frontman Harrington, including interacting with audience members and on-stage wardrobe changes. The rest of the band continues to play as if nothing out of the ordinary is happening. Guitar player Gibb Slife left the band after their second LP. Drummer Mahoney was replaced by Harrison Haynes.
The band started a planned hiatus in mid-2005, which led to speculation that they might have broken up, but Harrington confirmed that Les Savy Fav would return and indeed they did, playing a live performance at the British All Tomorrow's Parties festival in May 2007. Andrew Reuland joined the band in 2006 as the second guitar player. The band booked studio time in November of that year to record their fourth full-length album, Let's Stay Friends, which was released September 18, 2007. They performed "Patty Lee" live on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on January 31, 2008. Their song "Hold Onto Your Genre" is featured in the soundtrack to MLB 2K7, as well as commercials for the game. Furthermore, their song "Raging in the Plague Age" is featured on an in-game radio station in GTA IV.
Savy is a commune in the Aisne department in Picardy, located in northern France.

Les Savy Fav Inches - The Sweat Descends, Inches, Lyrics The sweat descends The sweat scents One cock sure fox in a house of hens My mouth will water where the sweat descends The sweat descends sweet decadence, lets hope this party never ends A shiv in the ribs, Some smoke in the hive, You live how you live I'll die how i die Wake me up when we get to heaven, Let me sleep if we go to hell. Blame my mouth if the house is burning, Check my tongue if you still cant tell The sweat descends, My psyche bends, I'll never be the same again. This soul is twisted but the skin will mend. My tight young skin covers up a sick palimpsest. Wake me up when we get to heaven, Let me sleep if we go to hell. Blame my mouth if the house is burning, Touch my tongue if you still...

Les Savy Fav -- "The Sweat Descends" @ Fun Fun Fun Fest 2009 Sat. November 7th Austin, TX -- Waterloo Park Orange Stage
The Wonder Ballroom Portland, Oregon Saturday, December 4th, 2010 Les Savy Fav was on tour in support of their album "Root for Ruin." Tim Harrington came down into the crowd while performing the song "Excess Energies." -at which point I handed him one of my "Earth is for Lovers" T-shirts. …seconds later I started recording. My first video is the full deconstruction of the shirt through performances of Yawn, Yawn, Yawn, Reprobate's Resumé & We'll Make a Lover of You. I chose Reprobate's Resumé to isolate as a video because it is my favorite les savy song, I had never seen them perform it live before, and because it sounded the best. The crowd was particularly rowdy that night & I ended up muffling the mic a couple of times in the commotion. Reprobate's, however, turned out beautiful...

All nerve endings shut down.
Stiff lipped at the countdown.
All systems are go,
All systems are gough,
All systems are ghosts.
In a can,
In a cupboard,
In a submarine,
There's nothing left inside,
In a basket at the bottom of the guillotine
Is where the sailor cried.
He never said a word
To the jury of the press
And when the ax-blade bit his neck,
"Set me free" is all he said.
In a pixel,
In a portrait,
In a T.V. screen
There's nothing left to hide.
Stitched each instant by the firing electron beam
Let the camera man decide.
He never said a word
To the jury of the press
When the on-air light turned red,
"Cut Away" is all he said.
When he opened it up,
He dropped his coffee cup,
And when the cup hit the ground
The whole damn house came stumbling down.
Good by my memory.
From this point on I'm unsettling.
In Brooklyn we stay home.
REFORMAT!!!
