The Vancouver concert date has been announced!! It was announced yesterday and the concert is gonna be Friday, September 1st! isn't that great news! They are starting to announce the concerts in North America, so check with ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.com) to see when they are coming to your town. Everything should be getting confirmed really soon! Also Darren performed as a guest on Pavarotti and Friends today. I'll keep you posted when the actual airdate is and everything! ok until next time! have fun at the concerts! =)

April 9th, 2000

The popular word here for most Savage Garden fans is now "Minx!!" =) Hope some of you have gotten the chance to grab a copy for it is one of Darren's best interviews yet! And the PICTURES are AWESOME!!! I heard on the BBS (at the Sony Site) that they sell them at Chapters, but that will happen in May. So hopefully they actually do sell them!! But we'll see in May right? Here's a pic from the Minx Mag as a little preview!
And here is a message that was sent thru our email April 8th:

This is a request for Savage Garden to make a live video of one of their concerts this year. I love watching live footage and i'm sure there are others out there who do too. so i want to get a petition going of peoples messages and send it to the fanzine in a couple of weeks. You can email me- milkshakegirl@hotmail.com could you please tell people and include your name, country and type a little message thanks Cheryl

February 19th, 2000

The new fanzine came in yesterday so if you haven't received your copy yet, it should be coming very soon! The mag was once again great! I thought there was lots of interesting and cool stuff in there, and one fact that i'd like to point out: the fact that Truly Madly Deeply has been on the Adult Contemporary Billboard Charts for 106 weeks!! That is more than 2 years!! And they also mentioned how no other artist has ever accomplished that before! =)
More good news...Savage Garden is back at Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 charts with I Knew I Loved You. They spent 3 weeks at Number One, then slipped last week to Number Two but now they are back at Number One!! Kewl!! hehe
And here was a msg sent to me from Dyan...hope you guys try your best to get Sg onto VH1!! Too bad we don't get VH1 here, but I'll find a way to get it recorded! hehe ok here is the msg:

Hey, how cool is this? Savage Garden is getting some special attention from VH1. Go to www.VH1.com. They have two message boards specifically for Savage Garden fans. Several SG fans are trying to convince VH1to feature Savage Garden as their Artist of the Month and to do a Savage Garden Storytellers show. If you'd like to help, we'd love to have you.
Please, go to http://messageboards.vh1.com/vh1/. If you haven't posted there before, register. It's easy and free. There are two boards. One is for general ideas for Savage Garden and VH1, and it's under 'artist' and 'Savage Garden' on the main page. The other is specifically for Storytellers, so you need to click on 'storytellers', then 'Savage Garden on Storytellers' AND POST. THEN e-mail VH1 at mysay@vh1mail.com and request SG as their Artist of the Month.

I also thought you guys might like the expected times of when you can expect SG to be coming to your area. This was announced in the Fanzine, so it is rather reliable. The tour will be called The Affirmation World Tour 2000, and the tour will start in Japan in April, go to Australia and Southeast Asia in May, Europe in June and North America in August. The tour will also include Latin America in late September, ending in Rio.

January 29th, 2000

In People Weekly there is an article about Darren (pg 83 to be exact)! I'm not sure what issue date it is set for, I think it is February 4th, 2000 but it is the one that is on the shelves for this week so make sure you guys all check it out! It is the one with Michael J. Fox on the cover. The pictures are great but somebody on People really messed up the info or they weren't really listening to Darren! Maybe they were awestruck with how cute he looked in real life! *LOL* haha well one info they messed up was that they said that Ben Carey was Daniel (in a picture)! Talk about DUMB!! ok well anyways thats all i have to say about that...just go and check it out!

January 20th, 2000

Well I guess you guys know by now that Savage Garden was on Donny and Marie today. Sorry I didn't tell you guys sooner but hopefully you found it out at the Sony Site! I thought it was a great performance! Wished it could have been longer of course, but what can we do eh? The American music awards performance was great too!! But get this...this is the best news...
Savage Garden's I Knew I Loved You has reached Number ONE on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of January 29th, 2000!! Isn't that awesome??!!!! We all should be proud of how well Savage Garden is doing!! Congrats!! yay!! hehe =)

December 9th, 1999

Well some really good news! First a little correction, the Donny and Marie show won't be actually aired on TV until December 21st, see Savage Garden taped the show on the 7th. So set your vcrs! And the Billboard Hot 100 Singles...Savage Garden moved up two places to Number 4 with I Knew I Loved You. This is sooo awesome b/c they have only spent 9 weeks on the chart so far!!

December 4th, 1999

Well the Sony Site has been updated...and it says that on December 8th, make sure you watch the 1999 Billboard Music Awards b/c Darren will be a presenter...so set your vcrs or watch it and then just tape the part that Darren will be in!! hehe thats probably what i'm gonna do!! i hope its in the beginning since exams are coming up and i can't afford to watch the whole thing!! oh well! oh and on December 7th, they will be on Donny and Marie. That is on Fox, I know in Vancouver it shows at 3:00 pm so set your vcrs again! And I don't know if they are going to be on the Rosie Christmas special, although Darren said in his interview with Rosie that he will be there! Of course it was recorded, but I watched Rosie yesterday and he wasn't there at any rehearsals or anything =( But just watch anyways just in case we get a surprise =) Well anyways there's some SG news for ya guys, and pretty good ones too...oh yeah I Knew I Loved You jumped one spot on the Billboard charts to Number 6=)

Well in Vancouver, Savage Garden's Affirmation cd was number 2 but it was Number 1 in ALL of Canada!! Woohoo!! =) Isn't that great?
And at the Sony Site they have information on when Savage Garden might be coming to your town...especially check it out if you live in Toronto or Europe. They'll be making an appearance on MuchMusic on November 21st at 2:00 pm...now since it said "Live" I'm assuming it's live for the east coasters, that means that its probably 11:00 am Pacific Time. Or unless they tape delay it or something, but just check at 11:00 just in case =) But anyways more news will be added when it comes! Ttyl!

November 17th, 1999

Well Affirmation came out last week and I got it last week (the very day it came out in Canada!) and it is soooooooo GOOD. And I'm not just saying that either cause I love Savage Garden. I'm saying that because it really is GOOD! We all agree that this second cd is better than their first...not by a lot of course but by a marginal bit. It has great romantic songs, great catchy songs...a little bit of everything really! Seriously you guys must get it! Hehe. Last week, they were on Rosie and Darren had a great interview. I thought it was great and funny. He said that he is gonna perform in Rosie's ABC Christmas special on December 5th. As you guys probably know, he has a song on Rosie's Christmas album called Last Christmas. That song is really good too! Anyways just gotta keep you guys updated about that...should be more info coming soon...don't forget to buy your Affirmation cds! =)

July 26, 1999

Okay well here is some of the info from the fanzine...issue 10. There's a quite of bit of news from Darren and Daniel, such as Darren was invited for the private screening of the new Star Wars movie. He thought the movie was awesome! Daniel went skiing in Lake Tahoe..etc so basically they are enjoying their time off before the album comes out, around the end of september beginning of october i would think. Darren also said that his favourite song of the second album and probably his favourite song over all is a song called Two Beds and a Coffee Machine. I think it's a ballad if I'm not mistaken. Could that possibly be the next single they are going to release? in the fanzine, there are real cute baby pictures that we're hoping to scan soon and have in our photo gallery...as well as real nice photos of both Darren and Daniel (not baby pics...just real nice photos =P) They should be scanned and up in the photo gallery in about a month? i hope so...its hard for us to get them all scanned and stuff unfortunately =( That's about it for the news for the fanzine. i'm sure the news will pick up once the second album is released!! you'll hear from us then!

July 7, 1999

Oh my gosh!! This page has finally been updated!!! I just had to update you guys on the title of the new album...which is called Affirmation. More details coming up later in later news. Maybe in a couple days or so. Well whatever. Oh yeah happy 26th birthday to Daniel too which is coming up on the 22nd =)

May 8, 1999

Too bad that Tiger Lily's comp is messed up cause she was going to draw a happy b-day sign for darren to put on the front of the page...remember like the Christmas one we had? hheee oh well!! Well anyways today is officially the date so HAPPY B-DAY to Darren. Yes he is now 27. Well, I guess he would have been 27 yesterday cause in Australia you know it was May 8th yesterday. But I'll stop being so technical. He does live in NY after all. heheee. Just some news...actually pretty old news but I forgot to mention it *oops*. International members who joined the fanzine should have received a video offer for the May 10th release of "The Story So Far" for Australia and New Zealand. International Fanzine members can buy the video for 25 dollars plus 5 dollars shipping and handling...of course that's in American funds. I guess that would be about 45 dollars Canadian, give or take a couple dollars. Anyways that's the news for now...more coming later!!

May 1, 1999

It has been a REALLY long time since we updated this page. Sorry about that...we have just been very busy. Not too much has been happening really...well that we have found out! The only thing is that The Animal Song has dropped out of the billboard top 100 which really sucks, but on Z95 they rose one spot to Number 6. And also Darren's b-day is coming up...May 8th in about a week I guess!! Just wanna say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Heehee well that's about it for the news...more will come shortly!

April 1, 1999

The new Fanzine came in the mail on Tuesday and there is just some info about their new video, released only in Australia and New Zealand. The release date is May 10th, 1999 and it's called "The Story So Far". It has interviews, videos, etc so be on the look out for that! It's only available in Australia and New Zealand though =( Also...it looks like the second cd will be released sometime in August or September...and there will be a single released before the album comes out!

March 21, 1999

Wow, there is lots of really cool Savage news now!! You can win your own vinyl copy of The Animal Song, courtesy of The Sony Site! Go there for details on how to win it. You must go there before March 29th though, because that is when the contest ends! Good luck everyone!

March 18, 1999

Today, reported on Muchmusic's Rapid Fax, The Animal Song is Canada's Number One single! =)

March 17, 1999

For all you Canadians...Savage Garden will be featured on Muchmore Music tomorrow March 18th!! The times are: 10 am, 4 pm, 8 pm and 3am Eastern Standard Time. So it's 7 am, 1 pm, 5 pm and 12 am Pacific Time!! Enjoy!!! =)

March 13, 1999

Well...The Animal Song rose 22 spots to reach Number 28 on the American Billboard Charts.

March 7, 1999

Oh...for you Canadians wondering why you have not seen The Animal Song single...it's because it will be released on March 9th. I know, it's kind of annoying that we get the single later...I hope that doesn't happen with the actual album itself! Oh well! And on the local radio station countdown, The Z Top 30 of the Week, The Animal Song debuted at Number 21 for the week starting February 27th, 1999.

March 5, 1999

Well, The Animal Song has debuted on the Billboard Charts...at Number 50. Would have liked a better entry...but oh well Number 3 on the Aussie charts makes up for it! Hope it gains some ground!

March 4, 1999

Well, just a little tid bit of SG news...The Animal Song debuted at NUMBER 3 on the Australian charts. Talk about wicked!!! You can pick up the mp3 at MP3 Wow. And...a little too late now but they were on the Muchmusic Spotlight today. I just found out this today but I did manage to tape it. It has all the videos, including Tears of Pearls, but no The Animal Song. Oh well..next time!

February 16, 1999

Our local radio station is playing The Animal Song on full rotation now. It's even on the Z's Hot 6 at 6...it was Number 5. That was pretty fast!! Awesome! For the Hot 10 at 10...The Animal Song was Number 5 again! Awesome! I won't announce their position every single day...but I will announce when they reach Number 1!!

Hmm that is weird...I never said this before...I thought I did! Well anyways, The Other Sister, the movie featuring The Animal Song, will be opening in theatres on February 26th, 1999 in North America. In Australia, it is opening on May 6th, 1999. Already I have seen the previews for the movie and you can hear The Animal Song in the background. =)

February 14, 1999

Just about a week to go and then The Animal Song will be released. The date announced at The Sony Site is February 23rd! So look forward to that =) Also, want to win a copy of The Animal Song? Go to The Sony Site for details!

February 10, 1999

Well guess what! On Z 95.3 in Vancouver they have played The Animal Song! It plays every 8:00 Pacific Time on the Z Hit Election. Anyone can listen to it...all you have to do is go to the website between 8:00 and 9:00 Pacific Time and listen to the radio station. All you need is Real Audio. And you can vote too between that time...just go to music then the Hit Election. So far The Animal Song is a two time champion. Hopefully they will be three by tonight!! Stay savage everybody!

February 2, 1999

Gosh we are sooo busy w/ school work that it is very hard to update the page. Sorry about that...it'll be better once school is over again. Anyways...just a little tid bit of info...go to The Sony Site and hear a 30 second clip of The Animal Song. It sounds really awesome...can't wait to hear the entire song! It looks like the song will be released at the end of this month. That's all the news for now...we should have some more pictures from the autograph signing of November 1997 up pretty soon!

January 13, 1999

Sorry the news hasn't been updated in a very long time! We have been very busy lately!! But not too busy to announce this bit of news...Savage Garden's new single will be released at the end of February. Okay...as far as we know...from The Sony Site, their new song called, The Animal Song will be featured in the Touchstone movie called The Other Sister. This movie seems really good too...I saw the preview of it when I went to watch You've Got Mail!! Hee hee. So this is really big news! Congrats to Savage Garden!! Yes they are moving up!

January 1, 1999

I (OP) went to check out the February 1999 issue of YM...and yes Savage Garden is named one of the 50 Most Beautiful People of 1998. Their picture is tiny and on the right hand side of the paper...kinda disapointing that the picture is sooo small but at least they were chosen to be one of the 50 Most Beautiful People. Well I guess, it would be two of the most beautiful people! Hee hee!

Vancouver's radio station, Z 95.3 finished their countdown for the top 95 of 1998. The results for Savage Garden are as follows: Break Me Shake Me Number 59 and Truly Madly Deeply was Number 3!!! Congrats to Savage Garden. And also, their debut album Savage Garden was Number 8 for 1998 in Canada. Congrats again! And also...Truly Madly Deeply was the song with the most airplay on radio stations in 1998.

December 26, 1998

I (OP) couldn't say this earlier b/c this was a part of my friend's (Tiger Lily's) present! Anyways, in Vancouver at the Virgin Megastore, they have Savage Garden posters!!! One is the same as the cover of the Break Me Shake Me single. And the other poster is one in concert and Daniel is closing his eyes and Darren's mouth is wide open! If I were to get one (which I already have *L*) I would get the one from the Break Me Shake Me video! Also, they have the new I Want You '98 single at Virgin too. It's a good price...$9.99. It's too bad they don't have more Virgin Megastores around! Oh...the posters are about 5 bucks each!

YM has named Darren and Daniel one of the 50 Most Beautiful people in their February 1999 issue. I have not checked it out yet but I will soon and will tell you what is exactly in it! Finally they are getting some recognition!

Okay...1998 is drawing to an end and the 1998 top songs countdowns are starting! Rick Dees Countdown has already been done! Savage Garden's Truly Madly Deeply was Number 4 and To The Moon & Back was Number 61! It's good that SG was number 4...at least they beat the Backstreet Boys! Congrats to Savage Garden!

December 15, 1998

Well, it seems like just Darren was there at the Billboard Awards and that his hair is spiked again!

Now on to more news... I (OP) was at UBC yesterday and I had some time to check out the bookstore (well more like the magazines) so I checked out the Spring 1999 issue and there is a real good pic of just Daniel! There is this quiz that you take and he's E - The Pop Stud! *L* Well anyways go check out the Spring 1999 Issue of YM...there is a little interview too so we'll put it up in our Articles section when we have the time!

December 12, 1998

Oops, a little correction has to be made about the Billboard Awards. Thanks to Karine, she informed us that Savage Garden actually won TWO awards...they won for Hot 100 Airplay of The Year as well. Also, they did show their speech on VH1...so ya Americans were lucky but the rest of us were not=(. They always seem to show the good stuff on VH1. No word yet if both Darren and Daniel were there, so when we find out we'll keep ya informed. Thanks again to Karine for correcting us!

December 11, 1998

Well, the Billboard Awards have been handed out and Savage Garden did win one award! That is for Adult Contemporary Single of the Year for Truly Madly Deeply. Congratulations! The only bad part was that they did not show them winning it, so we could not see Darren and Daniel give a speech. They were also nominated for Best Group Album, Best 100 Single for Truly Madly Deeply, Artist of the Year and Hot 100 Airplay Of The Year...but unfortunately they did not win=(. Too bad eh!

I also read in the issue of the Fanzine that SG might release a video in Australia and New Zealand featuring the Aussie vids and some extra concert footage. That is cool! Hope they do release it!

November 30, 1998

Hey again! Wow!!! We've got REALLY good news!!! Savage Garden has been nominated for 5...yes...5 Billboard Awards! Congratulations to them! Woohoo!! Set your VCR's for December 7th, on Fox, not sure of the time but check your T.V Guide because it will vary from zone to zone. We'll keep ya posted if or if not Savage Garden wins!

Oh yes...about the Video Collection, I (Ocean Pearl) saw it at A & B Sound for $9.99 as well! So Music World and A & B seem to have the best deals for it!

November 19, 1998

Hey ppl! Well, got some new info here! Well, basically it's again from Gardener...she always has the good info! Anyways, the MTV European Awards has already happened, and the awards have already been given and unfortunately Savage Garden did not win=(. Natalie Imbruglia did instead. Oh well...at least they got a nomination! We've gotta stay positive for these guys! Muchmusic will show it on December 10th, 1998 so set your VCR's!

Savage Garden is on the Muchmusic Dance 1999! The song is To The Moon & Back! Pretty cool, huh? Last year, I Want You was on Much Dance 1997 now Moon is on the cd! Very good achievements for SG that is for sure!

November 1, 1998

Hey guys guess what!!! I (Ocean Pearl) got the Savage Garden Video Collection! I went to Music World on Thursday and I asked the cashier if she had any left and she went to check and she had one left! I asked how much it cost...and it only cost $9.99!!! Can you believe it? Isn't that wicked? So I bought it right away and I watched it already of course. It's awesome! Especially if you can get it for a good deal like I did! So, anyways, for Canadians out there, if you want to get the Video Collection, try Music World cause they are selling it real cheap!

October 29, 1998

Okay, guys...we have been hearing about this news about Darren breaking up with his wife Colby. First things first, why don't we all just leave him alone with this? Even if it is true, it's none of our business whether he's divorcing his wife or not! It was the music that made them famous, so let's keep it that way and not barge into Darren's personal life!

October 21, 1998

Congratulations to Savage Garden for winning two awards at the ARIAS...for Highest Selling Album and an achievement award! Congratulations!! And it looks like they are certified diamond in Canada!! Isn't that awesome??? They rule!!! (Thanks to Gardener for the information!)

October 9th, 1998

Savage Garden's new video was released on October 6th. That was for the normal VHS system. The DVD release will be released a month later. The video contains: I Want You, To The Moon & Back, Truly Madly Deeply, Break Me Shake Me, and Tears Of Pearls. It costs about $13 dollars American, so that will be about $20 dollars Canadian.

Savage Garden will be on VH1's Hard Rock Live on Friday, October 16th. It is a rerun...we have not watched it ourselves but supposedly it is pretty good! According to our poll, it is the best show that ppl have watched Savage Garden on! So any of you guys lucky enough to get VH1, make sure you set your VCR's! Just look in the TV Guide for the exact time.

For you guys lucky enough to get Muchmusic, Savage Garden will be appearing on the Spotlight on Tuesday, October 27th! It should have all the new videos, including the new To The Moon & Back video! So set your VCR's once again!!



Back To ELEGANTLY SAVAGE!!!
