The Young Savages
Members: David Doel, Gordon Doel, Tom Doel
From their official biography on their website :Three young brothers performing real 1950's Rockabilly music just how it
was originally intended to be - Raw, Savage and full of youthful energy!
Despite their ages (which even when combined, still add up to less than
that of many artists performing on the Rock 'n' Roll & Rockabilly scene)
Gordon, Tom and David Doel already have a wealth of experience playing real
rockin' music. In their school years, they became well know performing
under the name Schoolhouse Rock - regularly gigging, making radio
appearances and having tracks released on Fury Records. Highlights for the
trio included appearing alongside Rockabilly legends Ray Campi and Sonny
George. Schoolhouse Rock performed raw and wild rockabilly, in a league
with the more senior bands of the scene, but party because of their young
ages, and partly because of their name, were sometimes considered something
of a novelty band.
After a short break from performing as a live band, the Doel Brothers
re-invented themselves as The Young Savages, a name which far better suits
their untamed style of Raw Rockabilly, and immediately started to be taken
more seriously. Already they have signed a management deal and been
snapped up by specialist Rockabilly label Raucous Records. Their debut
album is fittingly titled 'Untamed' (RAUCD 114) and is produced by
Rockabilly heavyweights Boz Boorer (The Polecats) and Ian Speller (Rusti
Steel & The Tintax) both of whom also make guest appearances as
musicians. 'Untamed' features eleven full-throttle blasts, with nine
originals and two carefully chosen covers from Rockabilly Music's rich history.
