Les Savy Fav (pronounced lay-SAH-vee-FAHV) is a New York City band that produces idiosyncratic indie rock. Their style is heavily influenced by Art rock and Post-hardcore.

The group’s original line-up, formed in 1995, all met while attending the Rhode Island School of Design.

The band is known for angular, abrasive guitar and bass melodies, complemented by singer Tim Harrington’s educated, poetic lyrics sung or shouted over the instruments. Harrington’s involved lyrics make broad-ranging academic references to such disparate topics as Stockholm syndrome, the architects of Carthage, and palimpsests.

The band has a highly-regarded live show due to the antics of frontman Harrington, including kissing multiple audience members and on-stage wardrobe changes. These antics, however, rarely seem to faze the rest of the band as they continue to play as if nothing out of the ordinary is happening.

The band started a planned hiatus in mid-2005, which led to speculation that they might have broken up, but lead Harrington confirmed that Les Savy Fav would return [1], and indeed they did, playing a notable live performance at the British All Tomorrow’s Parties festival in May 2007. The band booked studio time in November 2006 to record their fourth full length, Let’s Stay Friends, released September 18, 2007. The band is running a video contest on YouTube for « The Equestrian, » a song from their new album. [2][3]. On January 31, 2008, the band performed live on Late Night with Conan O’Brien.
