A pillar of Melbourne’s music and queer communities, Cash Savage has spent the past decade making tough and tender rock n roll with her colossal band, The Last Drinks. Their legendary live shows are an overwhelming cacophony of emotion and sound. A cathartic, communal experience that refuses to give the audience an easy ethical bypass, but challenges listeners to ask themselves the hard questions and step up.

Recently they have announced a new album, So This Is Love, to be released on April 28.

The theme of fragility runs through the album like a fault line. Fragile mental health, a fragile economy, the fragility of the environment and our personal relationships, all on the brink of collapse, threatening to crack under pressure; this is the fraught territory So This Is Love inhabits, and fearlessly explores.
True to the album title, Cash Savage delves deep and with ferocious honesty into what love means to her, as a queer woman coming to terms with a marriage breakup and a mental breakdown.“All love will end, all love will change form”, Cash observes.“If you experience deep love, you don’t judge it as a failure if it doesn’t last. You can love someone after they die, you can love someone in a different way.”
