Saturday Looks Good to Me was an experimental indie pop band. The group was led by singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Fred Thomas (former member of His Name Is Alive, Lovesick, Flashpapr). Through Thomas, the group's major songwriter, the group created intricate soundscapes which hearkened back to Detroit soul.
The band built up a considerable following on the back of the indie pop albums All Your Summer Songs and the more polished Every Night. 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" album was more adventurous both lyrically and musically than the bands previous two albums (especially on the 6 minute 48 second pop odyssey of "When I Lose My Eyes").
Following another European tour in 2008, Thomas retired the band to concentrate on other projects.
