Brothers Frankie, Michael and Patrick O’Malley are The SAFES. Growing up, these sons of Irish immigrants were surrounded by music. Their father Frank O’Malley, a working musician, record collector and all around music lover, filled the house with live sounds, great records and an array of musical instruments. An environment ultimately that led to the development of this very special band. Having played in bands together and apart since they were kids, The Safes have that unique chemistry that comes when talented siblings form a band (think Kinks, CCR, AC/DC). This chemistry fuels The Safes records as well as their live shows.

Since forming in 2003 The Safes have released their debut LP “Family Jewels” and follow-up EP “Boogie Woogie Rumble” to great success. Touring coast-to-coast The Safes have established loyal fanbases across the country on the strength of their live show which is a sweaty explosion of energy and melody. The quality of their first two releases has also brought The Safes national recognition. “Boogie Woogie Rumble” and “Family Jewels” have received favorable press in such notable publications as Rolling Stone, The Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Kansas City Star, and numerous weeklies, fanzines, and e-zines. Those releases have also led to extensive airplay and live performances on college and community radio stations across the US such as WFMU, WLUW, KHDX, WMBR, among hundreds of others and along with Chicago powerhouses WXRT, Q101 and WLUP.
