History
2008–2014: Formation and Wolf and The Hypnotiser
Singer and songwriter Cash Savage grew up in Port Albert, in the Gippsland region of Victoria, and is the eldest of five children. Born into a musical family, Savage's uncle was Conway Savage, a veteran Australian rock musician and keyboardist for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Savage began playing gigs around Melbourne at age 17.
In 2008, Savage formed the Last Drinks as her backing band, with no fixed line-up, but instead including whoever was available to play on any given night. A self-released, self-titled EP was released in 2008. Savage credits Fitzroy venue The Old Bar as the band's spiritual home. In 2010, the band released Wolf.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as australian band from Melbourne. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q29477924. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2008, 2010, 2013 and 2016.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
