Saturday Looks Good to Me is an American experimental indie pop band that formed in 1999.[3] The group is led by singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Fred Thomas (former member of His Name Is Alive). Albums by the group are known for soundscapes which hearken back to Detroit soul.[4]
The band was originally conceived as a basement recording project and did not play any live shows until 2002. The band built up a considerable following on the back of numerous limited-edition 7" record and CD-R releases, resulting in the indie pop albums All Your Summer Songs, released in 2003 on Polyvinyl Records, and Every Night, released in 2004 on Polyvinyl.[5]All Your Summer Songs was listed as one of the top 50 albums of 2003 by Pitchfork.[6]Every Night introduced new singer Betty Marie Barnes, who became the nearest to a permanent female singer that the band ever had.
By 2007, Barnes had semi-left the band and Thomas took over as the band's sole front person. SLGTM's music also changed and the resulting Fill Up The Room (2007, K Recs) album was more adventurous both lyrically and musically than the band's previous two albums.[7]
Following another European tour in 2008, Thomas retired the band to concentrate on other projects including City Center, and his record label, Life Like.
The band reunited in 2012 with a changed line-up, and released "Sunglasses"[8] on Polyvinyl Records. For Record Store Day 2012, All Your Summer Songs was re-issued on white vinyl in a special limited edition of 250.[9] The band released One Kiss Ends It All in 2013, and continued touring into 2015.[1][10]
