Saturday Looks Good To Me
Biography
Embracing a wildly eclectic variety of melodic influences, Saturday Looks Good to Me is the brainchild of indie pop wunderkind Fred Thomas, who has been the only constant member of the group since its inception in 2000. Saturday Looks Good to Me began as a fanciful project by Thomas (previously a member of Flashpapr and Lovesick) to create a record by a band that didn't exist; with the help of a handful of like-minded friends, Thomas wrote and produced a set of nine songs that drew on '60s pop sounds (Motown, Brian Wilson, and Phil Spector are clear reference points) while also taking cues from contemporary indie rock. Thomas gave the project the name Saturday Looks Good to Me, and the nine tunes were released on a limited-edition vinyl LP by the Here Forever Always label in the spring of 2000 (a CD reissue appeared two years later). A CD-R album of more music from the phantom group, Cruel August Moon (aka I Take a Chance Every Time) followed in the fall of 2000, but Saturday Looks Good to Me was one of several projects for Thomas until 2002, when the pop-oriented emo group Saves the Day came across a copy of the debut album and was impressed enough to invite SLGTM to open for them on a national tour.
