**Saturday Looks Good to Me** is an American experimental [indie pop](/source/Indie_pop) band that formed in 1999.[3] The group is led by singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist [Fred Thomas](/source/Fred_Thomas_(rock_musician)) (former member of [His Name Is Alive](/source/His_Name_Is_Alive)). Albums by the group are known for soundscapes which hearken back to [Detroit soul.](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Detroit_soul.&action=edit&redlink=1)[4]

The band was originally conceived as a basement recording project and did not play any live shows until 2002. The band built up a considerable following on the back of numerous limited-edition 7" record and CD-R releases, resulting in the indie pop albums *All Your Summer Songs*, released in 2003 on Polyvinyl Records, and *[Every Night](/source/Every_Night_(Saturday_Looks_Good_to_Me_album))*, released in 2004 on Polyvinyl.[5] *All Your Summer Songs* was listed as one of the top 50 albums of 2003 by Pitchfork.[6] *Every Night* introduced new singer Betty Marie Barnes, who became the nearest to a permanent female singer that the band ever had.

By 2007, Barnes had semi-left the band and Thomas took over as the band's sole front person. SLGTM's music also changed and the resulting *Fill Up The Room* (2007, K Recs) album was more adventurous both lyrically and musically than the band's previous two albums.[7]

Following another European tour in 2008, Thomas retired the band to concentrate on other projects including City Center, and his record label, Life Like.

The band reunited in 2012 with a changed line-up, and released "Sunglasses"[8] on Polyvinyl Records. For Record Store Day 2012, *All Your Summer Songs* was re-issued on white vinyl in a special limited edition of 250.[9] The band released *One Kiss Ends It All* in 2013, and continued touring into 2015.[1][10]
