The mighty Les Savy Fav played a packed out Heaven venue in London last night and covered the Dead Kennedy’s classic California Über Alles in fine style.
The band known as ‘one of the best live acts in the world ever’ here at crossfire are famous for their incredible cover versions and have performed outstanding versions of Debaser by the Pixies, Nirvana tracks and plenty of others over the years. Last night’s show with Pulled Apart By Horses as support was another classic to this year’s shows, look out for them at festivals this year as both bands will give you a good reason to be happy about your life, and that is gauranteed.
Enjoy this video shot by Sherry from the show.
