SONSOFSAVAGE is an electronic rock group founded by former South African Brett Savage, who played bass for Arapaho were the rock darlings of Durban, South Africa, in the mid-1990s before relocating to Carlsbad. He notes that San Diego reminds him a lot of his home country, which makes sense, since so many former South African citizens relocate to Southern California. “I got here and got a taste of the people and city and landscape. If you go to La Jolla, you’ll hear a lot of South African accents. La Jolla is so similar to Cape Town. It actually smells like Cape Town, with the seals and kelp from the ocean.”
Savage and his sons, ages 20 and 16, are creating music together as SONSOFSAVAGE. Although they inhabit a completely different genre from Arapaho — the new outfit favors more of an electronic sound — the elder Savage is still able to give musical guidance and direction based on his previous experience.
