Recordings by Bad Seed pianist Conway Savage appear on Bandcamp

Conway Savage's 2004 album Wrong Man's Hands is now available on Bandcamp along with four other recordings and more soon.

Here's the scoop from fellow Bad Seed Mick Harvey...

It has been a long 6 years but along with Conway’s daughter, Grace, I am very, very pleased to be able to announce that Conway’s studio recordings are now all available at Bandcamp. ‘Live In Ireland’ and ‘ Rare Songs & Performances 1989-2004’ should be there in the next 48 hours with some other unreleased material (hopefully) in the next few months. Streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music should follow in the coming weeks and there are plans for a vinyl anthology to be released sometime next year. Listen to Conway's Wrong Man's Hands below.

R.I.P. Conway Savage, 1960-2018

Sadly, Conway Savage, longtime keyboardist with the Bad Seeds passed away yesterday. He was 58. 

"Our beloved Conway passed away on Sunday evening. A member of Bad Seeds for nearly thirty years, Conway was the anarchic thread that ran through the band’s live performances. He was much loved by everyone, band members and fans alike. Irascible, funny, terrifying, sentimental, warm-hearted, gentle, acerbic, honest, genuine - he was all of these things and quite literally “had the gift of a golden voice,” high and sweet and drenched in soul. On a drunken night, at four in the morning, in a hotel bar in Cologne, Conway sat at the piano and sang Streets of Laredo to us, in his sweet, melancholy style and stopped the world for a moment. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Goodbye Conway, there isn’t a dry eye in the house."
Love,
Nick and the Bad Seeds.
