PRESS New Haven Register / 10 July 2009 by Patrick Ferrucci Actually, though, there is one other great thing on my desk. It’s a copy of “New Lives,” the first full-length from local indie popsters The Cavemen Go, the band led by the super talented songwriter Jeremy Sage. He and drummer Bob Breychak started the band as a duo back in 2003, a mere year before I arrived in this fare city. I don’t think I ever caught the Cavemen as a duo. I believe I first saw the group as a trio or quartet in late ’04 or early ’05. I was immediately hooked. I mean, I like Elvis Costello. If you like Elvis, you’ll really dig Jeremy Sage’s tunes. I’ve received a couple EPs from the band over the years, but “New Lives” is the first LP. And it’s worth the wait. It’s a timeless set of 12 songs that really will turn out to be one of the finest releases of the year, local or national. Sage just has a way with making tunes that are instantly hummable, but also intelligent and surprising. There’s no denying a strong Costello and early Ben Lee connection, but the band also breaks out some Motown and indie influences. You’re going to want a copy of the record, so best make your way to Cafe Nine tonight to see the new lineup — Sage, Breychak, Emily Hamar and Brian LaRue — play a CD-release party at around 10 tonight. The Rub Wrongways Caravan of Stars opens. Do not miss this one. -------------------------------------------- Metromix Connecticut / 8 July 2009 by Brian Lee For more than half a decade, the Cavemen Go have been churning out some of the finest no-frills pop-rock in the Northeast. The New Haven mainstays have grown from garage-pop duo to a punchy, melodic four-piece, and after nearly two years of hard work they're set to release their debut album, "New Lives," this Friday at Cafe Nine. Local shows have been somewhat a rarity since front man Jeremy Sage relocated to Boston, so let's hope that the new album leads to a resurgence in gigging. You can check out a trio of the Cavemen Go's new tracks on their MySpace page. Highly recommended listening: the Clash-style rave-up "Forget It Claudia." Opening the show on Friday is the Rub Wrongways Caravan of Stars, a "twanglepop" supergroup made up of members of Northampton indie-psych-pop bands the Bourgeois Heroes, School for the Dead, the Fawns and Sitting Next to Brian. Showtime is 9:30 p.m., and it'll cost you just $5 at the door. -------------------------------------------- New Haven Advocate / 7 July 2009 'New Lives' CD Review by Christopher Arnott The Cavemen Go, which began as a gown/gown blend of Yale and SCSU students in the early 2000s, have always understood that blue-eyed sensitivity and chord-heavy R&B keyboards are as essential to gritty ‘60s-style American garage rock as hair-shaking gyrations, tambourines and “woo-woo”s. Add an alt-country twang at times and this soul-bending band matches early-‘70s Kinks for artful, articulate pop cross-pollination. The gripping thumps that begin “Hey, At Least I Tried” suck you in to an increasingly complex relationship song. “Frequency Modulation” has such tricky media metaphors plus enough hooks, talky bits and anthemic chants to evoke Elvis Costello, Beck and Chumbawumba simultaneously, with the folky restraint of Wilco. I’ve prized my live-radio bootleg of the cutting ballad “Come at Me With a Knife” (“I’ll stay committed/If you stay combative/I always love a good fight”), for years; it’s nice to finally hear a crisp studio production with layered vocal harmonies and Emily Hamar’s dynamic keyboards up front. The band’s latest line-up change—New Haven Advocate music critic Brian LaRue on bass and backing vocals —isn’t reflected on these 12 tracks, recorded at houses in Connecticut and Maine, then mixed and mastered in band leader Jeremy Sage’s new home state of Massachusetts. Such shifts haven’t stalled a band that still maintains its founding dynamic duo of Sage and drummer Bob "Rock" Breychak. These Cavemen continue to evolve, matter, and rock your mind. -------------------------------------------- New Haven Register / 18 July 2008 by Patrick Ferrucci If we were to take a time machine back to the year 2004 and stop in New Haven, we'd find that a band called Cavemen Go played out a lot. If we went to the show, we'd find out that it's a really good band. Now let's fast forward to 2008 New Haven. Well, that good band doesn't play out as much because, you know, people move. Come Saturday, though, Cavemen Go will be at Rudy's, bringing its fun power pop to the whole world, or at least anybody who comes to Howe Street. I think we should all go and pretend it's 2004 again. And, yeah, I know that if you had a time machine you wouldn't choose 2004 New Haven to travel to, but this is my column so I can go wherever I want. -------------------------------------------- New Haven Advocate / 16 July 2008 by Mike Sembos As they continue work on a long-time-in-the-making new album, The Cavemen Go return to Rudy’s to share some of the pop gems they’ve been saving up in the six months since their last “hometown” show. The members being split between New Haven, Baltimore and Boston may have slowed the band’s pace, but when the album is finally unleashed it should prove worth the wait. Recording requires each member to dedicate some time to tracking in the second floor of an East Rock apartment where the self-produced magic is being born. “We can say with confidence that it will be simultaneously the best CD The Cavemen Go have yet recorded and the best thing since sliced bread,” says drummer Bob Rock. The Cavemen Go sound is characterized by a single jangly, often slightly out of tune guitar played by Jeremy Sage, loose, danceable beats, changes and melodies that burrow into one’s subconscious, straight-ahead bass and keys by John Varrone and Emily Hamar respectively, and easy–to–sing–along–with, intelligent lyrics. -------------------------------------------- New Haven Advocate / 17 January 2008 Stuck In A Corner With...Bob Rock! by Kathleen Cei Age: 27.

Because I rock. -------------------------------------------- Yale Daily News / 16 February 2007 by Scene Dear True Fans of Rock, Rock is not something to be captured on CDs, tapes or paper, to be carefully locked up in SML for all posterity, neatly tucked alongside Bach and Beethoven. Rock is a totally different kind of musical experience, and rock's art is in the live creation of the music as much as it is in the music itself. If you have never been to a rock show, if you have never bathed in the Dionysian ecstasy that is live rock-and-roll, if you have not discovered a local artist to invest your hopes in, you are not a true fan of rock. Each of the six musicians and bands in this article will play concerts in New Haven by the yearā€™s end, and rockers should do their duty to local music and support them. After all, rock is hours wasted on MySpace searching for a song to get you through the day. "We call our style retro pop," say The Cavemen Go, a New Haven indie four-piece featuring a Yale alum. "It's a blend of modern pop with retro elements, including Motown."¯ That sound comes through in "364 Days,"¯ one of the songs accessible on the band's web site. The song exemplifies their upbeat, fast-paced style, full of simple melodies and straightforward beats. "We have good songs,"¯ says the group. "They're catchy and pop-y. The music's good." Judge for yourself at The Cavemen Go's Myspace: www.myspace.com/thecavemengo. We did the work for you. Now go rock out for us. -------------------------------------------- New Haven Advocate / 11 January 2007 by Brian LaRue The relocation a few months back from New Haven to Boston of Jeremy Sage, singer, guitarist and main songwriter for the garagey retro-'60s-pop combo The Cavemen Go, came in the middle of an uphill surge. The band's line-up had solidified, each batch of new songs seemed stronger than the last, crowds at shows were getting bigger. Fortunately, Sage and Co. haven't let geography get in the way of a good thing. "We make sure to call and say 'Goodnight' to each other every night," jokes Sage. "We do a kind of Waltons thing." Not only does the band play Cafe Nine on Wednesday the 17th, but Sage promises new tunes: "an upbeat rocker and something of a mood piece." The Cavemen share the stage with The Novels, whose singer Jason Mazzotta led garage-pop bands The Sarcastics , The Frills and Bourgeois Heroes before leaving New Haven for Northampton. Indeed, before there was a Cavemen Go, Mazzotta and then-Frills/now-Cavemen drummer Bob Rock occasionally acted as Sage's backing band. Sage suggests that such 'musician-swapping' might reoccur on Wednesday. -------------------------------------------- New Haven Register / 16 June 2006 Play Magazine / 21 June 2006 by Patrick Ferrucci Who: The artists and bands of Ideat Village three-day concert today through Sunday in Pitkin Plaza. Whenever a big music festival is announced, you know a soundtrack to that event will be hitting stores shortly after. With that it mind, we though we'd break down more than 30 acts scheduled to take the stage at Pitkin, giving you an idea of what to listen for beginning tonight. Where you can see them: Ideat Village's Ideatstock runs from 7-10 tonight, noon to 10 p.m. Saturday and noon to 9 p.m. Sunday in Pitkin Plaza, which is on Orange Street, between Court and Chapel. Tonight's performers are The Vultures, Low Beam, Doctor Dark and Groovski. See The Tires, Negative 8, Happy Endings, Solen, The Cavemen Go, The Liz Larsons, Spider and Fly, The Earls of Sandwich, The Simple Pleasures, Diamond Jay And The Rough, Baboon Nature, Satans Of Death, Bloarzeyed, Lord Fowl, Humanoid, Nightcrawler 1947 and Coup de Grace Saturday. While Sunday features Elevated Thought, Kohath, Parker's Tangent, Deep City Elm, Greg Sherrod Band, Kimono Draggin', Pencilgrass featuring Gutta Records and Tim Palmieri, Rat Sass, I.N.I.T.Y. Without any more delay, here's a soundtrack to Ideatstock: "Zombi", Nightcrawler 1947: No better way to start a mix than with something sure to get your attention. Nightcrawler 1947 blasts listeners with a Tool-like approach to complex, hard-hitting metal. On Zombi, an ever-present riff continues to beat you over the head, over and over again. "Stonedown", Lord Fowl: A killer guitar riff behind Michael Pilgrim's very classic-rock-like vocals makes this tune stick in your head. It's almost like Black Sabbath filtered through some Lynyrd Skynyrd machine. "Dreamland", Deep City Elm: A simple acoustic guitar continues to build while an alto sax adds some very slinky color. With a little jazz and a little jam, Dreamland slowly and surely lives up to its name. "Another Cliche", The Vultures: Surf music doesn't always excite, but it sure does when The Vultures give it a little punk-rock backbone. Another Cliche is no different: straight-ahead Dick Dale-like surf, with some much-needed muscle added for good measure. "Motorbike", Low Beam: Synthesizers are all the rage in this thumping indie rocker. Every so often the guitar kicks in and you'll melt. "Susanne", The Cavemen Go: If you haven't seen The Cavemen Go lately, you have no idea what you're missing. Susanne adds some keyboard to a Violent Femmes-like rocker, an almost Elvis Costello-meets-Weezer sing-along. "Baboon Opens His Eyes", Baboon Nature: Every good mix needs some crazy, out-of-nowhere song, one that jars people, just in case they were falling asleep. Baboon Nature is an improv band, a little jazzy, very experimental. "Sadder Days", Diamond J and The Rough: Former Hot Rod Circuit bassist Jay Russell writes some damn good, sometimes rollicking indie country. On Sadder Days, the band builds to a climax to create a great ballad. "Red Light", The Tires: A barn-burner with a great slide-guitar part by Jimmy Wayne Jackson, Red Light shows all sides of The Tires, from country to rock, a short little song that'll leave your head bobbing. "Smokestack Lightning", Pencilgrass: There isn't a better way to end this mixtape than with Pencilgrass, who performed right near the end of Ideatstock. This one's got it all, everything you'd want from these guys. -------------------------------------------- New Haven Advocate / 11 May 2006 by Christopher Arnott and Brian LaRue New Haven Advocate Best Readers Party With the Smyrk and the Cavemen Go, plus DJ Shaki. May 17 at BAR, 254 Crown St., New Haven. 6pm. Free. newhavenadvocate.com. No, no... thank you! The local music-lovers here at the New Haven Advocate are bringing two of our favorite bandsplus DJ Shaki, free pizza, prizes, drink specials and scintillating conversationto BAR on Wednesday, May 17, and you're invited. The special night (which lasts from 6 p.m. to closing time, with the live bands going on around 9 p.m.) is in appreciation for the loyal readers who share their taste, wisdom and passions with us year-round, but particularly now as our mammoth Best Of New Haven issues hit the streets. Now, the bands: With the stunning song "Susanne"track 6 on the Cavemen Go's 7-song CD Never Part Again bandleader Jeremy Sage has created a timeless wail of romantic anguish, revved up in a beat-crazy garage blend of R&B, folk, pop and lovestruck caterwauling. Adding to the song's universal youth-in-turmoil feel, the name of the heroine of this bopping ballad is exquisitely well-chosen: Her name simultaneously evokes Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne," Lou Reed's "(I Love You) Suzanne," Dale Hawkins' "Suzie Q" and of course, Stephen Foster's 1848 pop hit "Oh! Susanna," which the Cavemen Go directly quotes in "Susanne"'s last line: Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me For I'm bound to this town And you're bound for the city That attitude syncs up nicely with another Never Part Again song, the soulful "States," in which Sage laments: Do you think you call that progress I call it stagnation, but it's my inclination to stay here. Feeling stuck and unloved: Those are the ultimate local-band-in-search-of-a-break sentiments, and the Cavemen Go nails them with an emotional guitar-and-keyboard-driven squall of power chords and plaintive, vulnerable voices. Their souped-up sincerity is intoxicating. The band grew out of an inexplicable yet crucial garage/rock 'n' roll scene which briefly flourished around Southern Connecticut State University a few years ago with the Sarcastics (later the Frills, featuring Cavemen Go drummer Bob Breychak) and the Battlecats, back when Yalie Jeremy Sage was a solo act. If the Cavemen Go never evolve beyond their current purposefully primitive layering of moody melodies, harsh harmonies and Buddy Holly hootenannies, they've still made history. -------------------------------------------- New Haven Advocate / 11 May 2006 by Kathleen Cei Photo 3: While not visibly injured like singer Jeremy Sage (who had a big bandage above his left eye), keyboardist Emily Hamar (above) of the Cavemen Go apparently "lost a fight with a cheeseburger," according to what Jeremy said onstage. "I lost a fight with a bench," he continued, gesturing to the rhythm section: "You guys better watch out!" Catch the Cavemen Go next at BAR on May 17, when they play the New Haven Advocate's reader appreciation party with the Smyrk. (Read more about both bands elsewhere in this paper.) -------------------------------------------- New Haven Advocate / 20 April 2006 by Kathleen Cei For someone who had just driven home from Montreal the night before, guitarist/singer Jeremy Sage of the Cavemen Go was revved up and ready for BAR, where the four-piece played an especially lively set April 9. Jeremy had Sage advice for the crowd--while holding up Canadian coins, he shared a "secret": that the foreign coins work in local parking meters. Given the exchange rate, he joked about the money-saving potential of this discovery. Catch the Cavemen Go next at the Meriden Daffodil Festival (in Hubbard Park) April 29 at 11:30 a.m. (yep, that's a.m.!), then back at BAR for our New Haven Advocate Reader Appreciation party May 17, with the Smyrk . "Where did the Cavemen Go?" asked Ringers frontman Ben Brock Johnson , opening the BAR show. Ringers are stars of New London's mighty music scene, and it was great to get a fix right here in the Elm. Ben declared New London and New Haven the only cities in Connecticut that rock, though a little voice in the crowd added a wee shout-out to "Danbury!" -------------------------------------------- New Haven Advocate / 6 October 2005 Stuck In A Corner With...Jeremy Sage! by Kathleen Cei Age: 28. Band: The Cavemen Go [thecavemengo.com or myspace.com/thecavemengo]. Next gigs: Battle of the Bands at the Space, on Oct. 6 [vs. Proton Pumps, Under the Bed, Tomorrow's Coming Alibi, Rumor Control and Vela Dare]; and Cafe Nine on Oct. 13 [with Pthalo and Victoria's Secret Sauce]. Music style: Pop rock--the good kind, not the crappy mainstream radio kind (hopefully). Armed with: A guitar and a voice I use for singing songs. I can also play the saxophone and the piano. Wishes he had: Definitely a trombone. First album bought: Michael Jackson's Thriller , on vinyl. First concert: Not counting "Superfriends on Ice" when I was five (I think there was some singing involved), it was Peter Gabriel at Madison Square Garden when I was a freshman in high school. My friend ditched class and waited on hold with Ticketmaster on the hallway pay phone to get the tickets the moment they went on sale. We had awesome seats behind a 40-year-old guy who taught us what roach clips were! In his player at home: R. Kelly, TP.3 Reloaded ; Tom Waits, Frank's Wild Years ; the Pixies, Surfer Rosa . In his car: My car stereo got stolen a few days ago! You should stick the thief in a corner next week and ask him. What he listens to when cleaning the bathroom: I can never remember the music in my dreams. Album that changed his life: Billy Joel's Greatest Hits, Vols. 1 and 2 . Like a lot of NYC Jewish kids, I played the crap out of those tapes and listening to B.J. was when I first realized how important good songwriting is. When I got my first CD player, I proceeded to buy every one of his CDs before buying a single other. How he came to be a musician: I remember thinking I wanted to play the saxophone when I heard the lick in Glenn Frey's "The Heat Is On." Game he always wins: John Madden Football '92 for Sega Genesis. I honestly don't think I was or will ever be better at anything in my life. It's a simultaneously uplifting and depressing thought. Buy him a drink: Maker's Mark and Coca-Cola. TV that sucks him in: RU the Girl, the reality show where T-Boz and Chili of TLC hold auditions to replace but "not really replace, because you can never replace" Left Eye. I saw a lot of myself in Chili. Join another local band for a day: Lys Guillorn's band. Great songs. Maybe I could play bass and do some background vocals Most memorable local shows: I was playing solo around New Haven at the time and I saw the Battlecats play at Rudy's. They tore it up. I thought: I gotta get in a freaking band! Also found: Getting my Ph.D. in experimental physics at Yale. I shine lasers at stuff and see what happens. Fun fact about Jeremy Sage: My dad was in a comedy skit on The Milton Berle Show when he was a little kid. I think I get my love of performance from him. -------------------------------------------- New Haven Advocate / 8 September 2005 by Kathleen Cei Why is the Cavemen Go 's CD release party for Never Part Again on Sept. 10 (with Lys Guillorn plus another act, TBA) in a secret downtown location? That's easy. "We worried that the 200 mimes and 12 lasers required to pull this show off might present logistical problems in a New Haven club," explains frontman Jeremy Sage . "Seriously, we just don't have the kind of clout in New Haven to be handed the reigns to any venue to put on the show we want--to control who was playing, [and] for how long, on a weekend. Were we the Rolling Stones, this problem would be largely absent." But don't worry--though the location is secret, Jeremy and the band want you there! And the band will even reveal where "where" is--and give you a free ticket--if you simply drop an email to thecavemengo@yahoo.com. "We want a lot of people to come," Jeremy clarifies, "it's just that we can't advertise the address because it's our keyboard player's loft, and we don't want totally random people coming in looking for free beer. We're not too worried about running out of tickets. It's a pretty big space and we're not the Rolling Stones." This will be both the first and the last Cavemen Go show with new keyboard player Matthew McDonald (formerly of the Things Themselves ), since, "sadly--for the band, not him-- Matthew is leaving for a job in London a few days after the show," Jeremy reports. The last Cavemen Go keyboardist, Steve Rodgers (not to be confused with Mighty Purple Steve), who plays on the new disc, moved to Oregon recently to become a music professor. After the CD release show (and a few shows in New York City and Massachusetts, including the New England Popfest on Sept. 29), look out for the Cavemen Go at the Space, where they head into a battle of the bands on Oct. 6. -------------------------------------------- New Haven Advocate / 8 September 2005 'Never Part Again' CD Review by Brian LaRue Jeremy Sage is a skillful songwriter who has long turned out songs with heart and a debt to retro pop values. However, on this disc he achieves substance as well as style. The choruses stick. His voice is stronger and clearer than on the bands previous disc. And its a fun listen--with the handclaps, the rickety rhythm guitars and the generally breezy quality of the recording, Never Part Again sounds less like the work of a band than it does like a group of friends spontaneously deciding to play some songs together. (Indeed, Jason Mazzotta from the Frills pops up, contributing bass and some guitar.) Lively, wistful, not hokey--lets hope the Cavemen Go stay on this roll. -------------------------------------------- Splendid Magazine / 10 August 2004 'The Cavemen Go' CD Review by Jennifer Kelly The Cavemen Go play smart, rueful garage pop with a tiny bit of twang. The singer, Jeremy Sage, sounds a bit like Randy Newman -- soulful and ironic at the same time. He's joined here by ex-Frills drummer Bob Roberts, who provides basic but effective percussion. Since this record, the band has added a keyboardist named Steve Rodgers to the mix, but here the duo is supplemented by occasional contributors --- Jason Mazzotta on bass and Marc Teamaker on guitar and organ. The overall effect is loose and carefree, all jangling guitar and yelping vocals, the kind of music that makes you want a longneck and a bar with a dart board. It's not mixed particularly well -- the bass dips in and out of the sound and everything is coated with an inescapable fuzziness -- but tracks like the slow and bluesy "Take Down" and the faster, more rocking "Calamity Blvd." are quite enjoyable. The best cut, though, comes at the end: "364 Days," with its twitchy layered guitars, '50s rocker melody and woo-hoo-hoo vocals, is a great bar band song, more intelligent than it needs to be, but requiring no thought at all to appreciate. -------------------------------------------- New Haven Advocate / 9 October 2003 'The Cavemen Go' CD Review by Craig Gilbert Six tracks of simple, basic, quite catchy, guitar fronted pop-rock nuggets. Hey, y'know that band that did the theme song to the The Cavemen Go show? Think along those lines for the mandatory musical comparison ... especially on the upbeat "Do I Don't I." Even the slower "Take Down" has a nice chirp to it. Decent, almost lo-fi mix. "364 Days" with its "hoo-hoo-hoo's" is fun. That's one fine reason why this works--these cats honestly sound like they're having fun. -------------------------------------------- New Haven Advocate / 9 October 2003 by Kathleen Cei Also on Oct. 10, The Cavemen Go hold a CD release party at Elm City Java. In the Cave are two of ECJ owner Nathan Wrann's fave musicians (and frequent Space flyers): Jeremy Sage, with ex-Frills drummer Bob Roberts. Roberts reports that the duo may bring out a third caveman, keyboardist Steve, from its "secret basement lair located somewhere in the hollows of Science Hill." Roberts says the '60s Britpop influences on the disc come from co-producers Marc Teamaker (also joining them at ECJ), and Jason Mazzotta (Roberts' former Frills bandmate-turned-Bourgeois Hero, who recently moved to Northampton). "Jeremy was listening a lot to The Strokes when things were recorded," he adds, "so there's a definite N.Y.C. vibe to the proceedings as well." -------------------------------------------- New Haven Advocate / 7 August 2003 by Kathleen Cei Two more super-cool shows at The Space this week: The harmonious, humorous Heaths, (Sarah Heath, Lucy Heath McLellan and Peggy Heath Ogilvy) on the 8th with Liz Reed (music teacher at The Foote School and open mic host at Pomfret's Vanilla Bean) opening, and catchy pop singer/songwriter sweethearts The Candy Butchers, Jed Parish, Shawn Persinger and The Cavemen Go (i.e., Jeremy Sage with former Frill Bob Roberts). |
