the Saturday Club

The Saturday Club recently remixed the song "You Drift Away" for Unfiltered Records band the Postmarks. The remix is available now as part of a digital EP on iTunes. The EP also includes tracks by Brookville, James Iha, and Tahiti 80 among others. Please take a few minutes to check it out.



The Saturday Club is the musical collaboration between Bruce Driscoll

(Astaire/Blondfire/Brookville/Ivy), and Aric Gillis (formerly the Christy/

Youth In Revolt). Together, the two young, accomplished songwriters

express their love for big guitars, driving beats, and catchy/simplistic

rock that is reminiscent of a 50's through 80's styled pop and rock,

with a modern and indie spin on the genres. Heavy on the reverb and

light on the overdrive, the sound is a simple, memorable, and refreshing

one, and the main motive is great songwriting that translates well to a live

experience.



The two have crafted a unique approach to songwritting in which each

song is recorded as it's written and before the song is even performed as a

whole. Every song is and reflects an inspired moment. They are, at their

core, only a 3 piece live band, (with a drummer), but their knack for melody

is huge and symphonic in nature.



As one-half of the indie-rock phenomenon Blondfire, Bruce

(Vocals/Guitars/Keys/Drums) has produced and co-written songs in Major

Motion Pictures and for TV (Monster-In-Law/Dawson's Creek). On the

side he has co-produced songs with Andy Chase (Ivy/Tahiti 80/Brookville) and

performed live on an international tour with Ivy, playing keys and guitar.

In mid-2005 Bruce, (and his band Blondfire), signed a publishing deal with Peer

Music.



Having a background in audio engineering and production, Aric

(Bass/Backup Vocals/Drums) has spent most of his time in recent years

behind the scenes working in the music industry, and has recorded

several projects for bands in and around the NYC area. Having grown up

in bands and around music he learned that motivation is the greatest asset

one can have in an indie band. That, and great songs. "Growing up on late

80's and early 90's pop punk, I learned the value of a great hook. You

couldn't hide behind washed-out guitar solos because there weren't any," Aric

explains.



The Saturday Club are in the studio putting the finishing touches on their

first album. Stay tuned.
