A message from the Baron:

Good day!
Once again I have allowed the news section of the site to flounder and for that, I apologize. I’ve been horribly worn out since Stephanstag (Stephan’s Day, Dec. 26th), but I won’t trouble you with the details as they are of a filthy nature.

Lots and lots going on recently, so I’ll start with the band’s new album, Goodnight Magic Fingers. This record has been in the works for two years and is now complete. CDs are being pressed and will be available soon, but you can purchase the album for download now through the music & press page. Below are some details to delight your information-starved mind.

The Saturday Nights present … Goodnight Magic Fingers

Rabid Wolves/System of Control 7”
Wrap your little fingers around a glorious translucent blue 7” vinyl featuring two exclusive Saturday Nights songs! These were actually recorded while GMF was being mixed, so technically it’s even newer than the album. This record is a mere $5 shipped to your house. No turntable? Download both songs for free!

My Old Kentucky Blog Live Performance:
The band recently traveled to Indiana and performed a live studio session for My Old Kentucky Blog and WEEM 91.7. Check out the post on MOKB, which features photos from the session, free mp3 downloads of three live songs as well as a couple of free mp3s from the Queenslandicus album.

December 2006
Sorry for the lengthy gap in news updates. I'm finally prepared to offer tidings of joy for the holiday season! First, on behalf of the band, I'd like to say "ank ou" to everyone who came out to the shows this year and purchased copies of the 7" and/or "Queenslandicus." It's been a busy year and the next release (album #2) is nearing completion. Saff is at the helm again, all guitars, pedals and vintage synths have been dusted off and Joe Daley has been grinding his teeth feverishly in anticipation of each forthingcoming session. Rumor has it that the band is tossing around the idea of doing a 12" vinyl release this time around. Chances are, cds will be a thing of the past by the time it's ready anyhow. Keep your fingers crossed. More to come soon.

To close out the year, the band will be playing Empty Bottle's Alex Chilton Birthday Bash on Thursday, December 28th. There are a ton of bands on the bill. It starts at 8pm. There is no schedule for who plays when yet, so just show up and the boys will be on sooner or later to perform THREE Chilton tunes. None of the bands involved are playing full sets. Here are the details:
WLUW presents the second annual ‘Alex Chilton birthday bash’, an evening of music that celebrates the work of beloved songwriter and BIG STAR frontman ALEX CHILTON. The program, as one might imagine, will feature live reinterpretations of CHILTON’S songs, performed by (in no particular order) THE BRAVES, DOLEFUL LIONS, FAREWELL CAPTAIN, FEATHERGUN, THE INURED PARTIES, JOY POPPERS, JOHN KIMLER, RICH MILLER, DANN MORR & THE NEW FICTION, THE PRAMS, RECENT PHOTO, THE SATURDAY NIGHTS, TENNISCOURTS and VAN GO. It should make for quite a night.

So for now, that is all genties and ladymen.
Should you have any pressing queries, send them through the mystical circuitry of the interweb to the attention of ...
The Baron!
