THE SATURDAY KNIGHTS...

Tilson - Charm
Barfly – Mustache
B-Web - Hands
DJ Suspence - Wardrobe



I LOVE your band! --Gary Gersh, Nirvana A&R, manager of Beck, Beastie Boys, etc.

It's very rare that you see the kind of reaction I've seen playing this band. I would have to say it's the most anticipated Seattle release in some time and they are easily one of the most exciting things happening in Seattle right now. - John Richards, KEXP
--DJ John Richards, KEXP

The Saturday Knights are a WICKED mix of girl group harmonies, classic rock heaviness, and stone cold hustler humor. The songs BOUNCE LIKE A GIANT BOOTY
and rock like a hurricane. --SF Weekly

How many super-groups can Seattle say it has in its midst? Fuck the Damn Yankees, this crew make some of the most fun hip-hop music in town, regularly beating the living shit outta mics, decks, keyboards, guitar, and an especially hard-living cowbell. Chuuch! --The Stranger





THE CHICKEN IN THE BAKED APPLE PIE

"Our music is cuff links, pinkie rings, bow ties, and nice ascots for everybody!" says Tilson, one of two MC's for the Seattle super-group. "We do a little bit more than the average, in the sense that we do a whole let less than the average."

The Saturday Knights are a culmination of four freaks, a jaw-jacking combination of performing personalities: Storyteller and entertainer Tilson, who can tickle any lady's funny bone; low-income yarn spinner and urban graffiti poet Barfly; indie rock and hip-hop mutli-instrumentalist B-Web, who brought together those genres on his joints for Olympia, Washington label K Records; and pumped up by the big beats and psychedelic
turntable-art of DJ Suspence.

Seattle's "punk rock-power pop band with hip-hop songs" signed with Light In The Attic Records after a solid year of being wooed by labels like Downtown Records and Island/Def Jam. Their first gig was an improvisational smash success opening for a sold-out RJD2, and since then The Saturday Knights have performed with with Death Cab for Cutie, The Streets, The Go! Team, Blowfly, and Lady Sovereign. TSK circulated these four songs as a demo last year, and "45" became a hit on taste-making station KEXP as well as commercial powerhouse The End 107.7 FM. It is one of four tracks to be released on their forthcoming introductory EP, with a full-length promised in the fall!
