To say Savage Garden are hot is an understatement. These guys are sizzling.
As TV WEEK goes to press they are at number one on the singles and the
albums charts. Their third single, Truly Madly Deeply, is their second
number one, following To The Moon & Back. And their self-titled
album debuted at number one, going platinum in a week, selling more than
70,000 copies. Their first single, I Want You - a Top Five hit in
Australia - is sitting in the U.S. Top 15. To think that this time
last year, we'd never heard of this Brisbane duo. Now everyone wants
them. At the Aerosmith launch in New York, Lenny Kravitz came up to me
(Molly Meldrum) and said: "Molly, who is this Savage Garden?" And
word is David Bowie rang to ask if Savage Garden would support him on his
upcoming tour. To my mind, the Savage Garden debut is one of the
most refreshing albums of the year. It's simply great pop.
