Savage Sister is an American dream pop/shoegaze band, based in Chicago, Illinois. The band consists of vocalist/keyboardist Chloe Lundgren, bassist Caitlin Klask and guitarist/keyboardist Michael Tenzer.

History
Savage Sister initially formed in 2012 as a four-piece out of St. Louis, Missouri, headed up by guitarist Michael Tenzer and drummer Nicholas Piontek, with bassist Jamie Kerry and vocalist Kate Gettinger. They released Legs EP that August, with their first single, "Tiger Lamp". This first iteration of the band split up in September 2012. Tenzer moved to Chicago in November that same year, looking to create a new line-up. In March 2013, he met vocalist Chloe Lundgren. The two began working on songs for what would be their self-titled debut. Tenzer and Lundgren met bassist Caitlin Klask in May, adding her to the line-up. The trio released their self-titled debut in June 2013.

December 2013 saw the release of the single "Champange Panthers", which hinted at the next release from the band, Wild Sleep EP. The EP was released on February 18, 2014, via Tenzer's micro label, Wild Patterns. The band then released Huge Moves 7" on June 6, 2014. The trio garnered a deal with local Chicago label, BLVD Records, securing the next full-length album to be released on vinyl sometime in early 2015.

Influences
The band's influences range from early shoegaze and dream pop bands like Slowdive, Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine, to recent bands, like Sleep Over and Grouper.
