WE HAVE A BRAND NEW 7" OUT THIS WEEK! TWO OF OUR BEST SONGS YET, "DIANNE FALLING OFF HER HORSE" & "SPRINGTIME JUDGMENT", WHAT'S KNOWN IN INDUSTRY CIRCLES AS A "DOUBLE A-SIDE". OUR FRIENDS AT ERNEST JENNING RECORDS PRESSED UP A LIMITED AMOUNT AND THEY'RE ALL ON MAGENTA SWIRL VINYL. GET THEM WHILE YOU CAN HERE.
Saturday Looks Good To Me is the name of a bunch of songs. They are here to realize joy and attempt at better things. In 2000 there was a 12" made on a small record label called Hereforeveralways. That was pretty much the group's introduction to the world. Two years later all the 12"s were gone, and there were more songs, so there was a CD made, and even a few live shows around Michigan, Ann Arbor where the band all lived and Detroit, where they visited and in those days mostly drank. After playing a few shows, SLGTM went on a big, ridiculous US tour with Saves The Day, Ash & Kind Of Like Spitting. It was fun, eye-opening, foolhearty and more than anything, it opened a box that has not been closed since, even if it's just a box that you take something out of and put another thing into sometimes. In 2003 Polyvinyl Records put out "All Your Summer Songs", a record a few websites called "THE BEST RECORDED SOUND EVER TO GRACE MORTAL EARS" and others called "annoyingly twee, derivative of the J. Geils Band." In 2004 PV dropped "Every Night", the difficult third record. In between this, about twenty different versions of the band were touring nonstop, playing houses, huge bars, small dives, outside thingers, really any and everywhere. It was fun, if always really different. In 2005 one such version of the band played a long winter tour in Europe with Swedish pop geniuses Speedmarket Avenue. It was again ridiculous and more fun than anyone should be allowed to have. The band was also making lots of songs inbetween records and releasing them as 7"s, cassettes, CD EPs, what have you. In 2005 Redder Records put out a collection of 30 extra songs called "Sound On Sound". In late 2007, after many months of revision, K Records put out "Fill Up The Room", an album that was super different and met with either responses of diluted anger, or "shit, this is the best one yet!" or more often "it took me a minute, but now i like it the most." So mission accomplished. Then a video was made, and it looks super 80's and fancy. The band loves to tour, play shows, make music and communicate, whoever "the band" might be at present. Those are the prerequisites. We try to get back to everyone who messages us here, but it's really difficult, so please don't hit us up here with anything super important, cause it could take a while to get back. Instead, write to the band at westsideaudio (at) hotmail (dot) com. and a response should come faster. Thank you for all your interest and support.
