Black Eyed Sons unleash their cover of Mink DeVille’s classic “Savoir Faire” with a new video featuring Alan Clayton of The Dirty Strangers. The visual pairs the band’s raw energy with cinematic nods to the Bowery, Times Square neon and downtown rock clubs, serving as a love letter to the mid seventies New York scene that shaped their sound. Guy Griffin explains the band wanted a live performance video with a rough storyline rooted in that era when bands like Mink DeVille were making their mark, noting both he and Clayton share deep appreciation for that scene. The involvement of Steve Conte, who actually played in Willy DeVille’s band, adds authentic lineage to the project, connecting past and present through people who lived it.
The track closes out ‘Cowboys in Pinstriped Suits,’ the band’s UK number one album, arriving as Black Eyed Sons hit the road for their first run of UK shows this December. The Cowboys in Pinstriped Suits Tour Part 1 continues across the country with Revenant, The Dirty Strangers, Liberty Slaves and Alan Clayton joining on select dates. Griffin promises fresh material plus tracks not heard live before, suggesting audiences should prepare for surprises when the band takes the stage.
