The Saturday People
Rather mysterious EP from this sadly defunct DC group. Featuring members of Velocity Girl, Tree Fort Angst, The Ropers, Glo-Worm, Boyracer, Black Tambourine, Lu, St. Christopher, Lilys, The Castaway Stones, The Still, Heartworms and Whorl to um name just a few, the Peeps shone brightly for a few years in the early 00s, delivering a handful of singles, an excellent LP and this final EP. Featuring seven full songs and several fragments, the band's trademark blend of Byrds/Zombies/Orange Juice is in full evidence. Great stuff, and now a rather rare artifact.
The Saturday People
Perfect 60s flavored power pop from this all-star DC band, featuring members of The Ropers, Castaway Stones, Tree Fort Angst, Velocity Girl and Whorl. By turns punchy and contemplative, the People pen classic tunes and play them with infectious enthusiasm. Fans of groups like The Go-Betweens, The Byrds and The Orchids should feel right at home.
