You Said Saturday on iTunes



Spring, 2005. San Francisco-based guitarist Peter Scott invites best friend and vocalist Joshua Young to listen to some of his latest songs. A few afternoon sessions around Scott’s kitchen table quickly become weekly rehearsals and, in June, the duo gets to work on a record at The Rec Room Studios in Los Angeles. With the addition of friends and fellow musicians Tariq Mills (drums), and Travis Craig (bass), You Said Saturday is born. With complimenting musical talents and a strong allegiance to “the song” the group displays its finer qualities on its eponymous debut. Mixed by Joe Chiccarelli and anchored by Young’s smoky, intoxicating voice, the EP’s lush piano melodies and backbeats make for a casual but vibrant experience. You Said Saturday features eight songs that will stick with you, including the gently upbeat “Orbit” and the rich, lyrical crescendos of “Rope Swing.” Upon release of the EP, world-famous Bay Area radio station KFOG took notice of the album and placed opening track “Seaside” on their local scene compilation. “KFOG’s Local Scene 2” combines fresh new talent from all facets of the San Francisco music scene, and helps benefit Music in Schools Today.

Now that the first steps have been taken, You Said Saturday continues to grow and develop their musical vision. The musical and personal chemistry between these five individuals drives the group to not simply rely on a solid recording, but to continue to create new songs and push the live act into another atmosphere. Frontman Joshua Young’s stage presence can only be described as “pure honest energy” and is sure to hypnotize even the most questioning of onlookers. Combine this with Scott’s songwriting and the band’s cohesiveness, and one is left with a performance that covers all points of the pop spectrum.

Having already played at many San Francisco venues including Slim’s, The Bottom of the Hill, and The Rickshaw Stop; the group has also ventured up and down the West Coast and sets its sights to the rest of the country. In the coming months, You Said Saturday will be looking to share its music with the rest of the world and hopes you can be there to enjoy it.
