Savoy(Electronic Rock Band) Forcefully grounded in their own distinctively powerful brand of electro and defined by their dominating live performance, Boulder, Colorado's SAVOY has accomplished more since their electronic rebirth in '08 then most bands do in their entire careers. The trio has performed at multiple major music festivals
including Monolith Music Festival and Wakarusa, and has shared the stage with acts including Phoenix, Sound Tribe Sector 9, The Glitch Mob, Pretty Lights, Chromeo, and Passion Pit, to name a few.
Some argue it's the band's unique lineup, featuring two DJs (Gray Smith and Ben Eberdt) and a live drummer, (percussionist Mike Kelly) which leads to this success. Others say it's the fact that the music moves effortlessly between the sounds of rock, pop, funk, French house, German minimal techno, world music, and everything in between that keeps crowds moving. Regardless of opinion, the undeniable truth is that SAVOY brings the intimate setting of their house party roots into the venues that now host their hordes of rabid fans from coast to coast.
Savoy from Boulder, Colorado is a high energy DJ that plays Mashup, Electronic, Rave, maybe some Hip Hop and other types of music. This band is perfect for Fraternity Parties, Sorority Parties, Nightclubs and other events.

BIO
Maybe you’ve never heard the term ERM (electronic rock music) before, but Savoy, a trio from Brooklyn via Colorado, consider themselves pioneers of the genre. Producer Gray Smith, guitarist Ben Eberdt and drummer Mike Kelly fuse rock & roll with dance elements to produce a sound that has house, drum & bass and trance elements but feels organic at the same time. Live, they play their instruments (plus vocals from Grammy-nominated artist Heather Bright) to a sick laser light show. On their latest EP, 1000 Years, the trio are breaking down even more musical boundaries, having enlisted Chali 2na of Jurassic 5 to rap over the single “Love Is Killing Me.” How did that happen? “Chali 2na heard it backstage at a show and we both knew it would be an amazing collaboration. Chali just adds that smooth vibe that makes you feel like, 'we got this.'" Kelly and Eberdt talk to Myspace about their beginnings, comparing their light show to Phish, and how they became the first dance act to be sponsored by Gibson guitars.
Hometown: Savoy was born in Boulder, Colorado but the three members came from Durham, New York, and Chicago.
