Gareth Sager

Gareth Sager is a British multi-instrumentalist and experimental music maverick best known for his work in the late 1970s post-punk scene as a co-founder of the genre-bending band The Pop Group. After their split, he dove into jazz-punk fusion with Rip Rig + Panic (featuring Neneh Cherry), cementing his reputation for chaotic, genre-blurring creativity. Sager’s solo work leans into his love for free improvisation, avant-garde noise, and darkly poetic absurdism, as heard in recent releases like *Ghost Ship Trance Lamentations* and *They’re Playing Kraftwerk in the Coffee Shop*. His 2020s output—including *The Caledonian Blues* and *Slack Slack Music*—still crackles with the same restless energy that defined his earlier projects, blending saxophone squalls, wiry guitar lines, and surrealist wit. Whether channeling bluesy despair or dancefloor-friendly chaos, Sager remains a gleeful disruptor of musical boundaries.
