Mac Saturn

One Liner: Danceable, soulful rock and roll throwback

Wikipedia Genre: No Wikipedia, but rock, bluesy rock, sleazy badassery

Home: Detroit

Poster Position: Level 3
Weekend One Only.  

Saturday.

Thoughts:  Pretty good, right off the top.  Reminds me of several things - The Revivalists, Dirty Honey, Daisy Jones & the Six, and even a much less flamboyant version of the Struts.  Bluesy and funky and languid as they slink around the stage.  Also, the algorhytm moved to White Reaper once it was done with all of the Mac Saturn songs, and I didn't notice at first.  So there is another good comp.

The top track by a lot is "Mr. Cadillac."  3 million streams.

Feel that 70's slinky funk in there.  I know it is an intentional look, but jeez those dudes are some scruffy looking goobers.  They have no Wikipedia, but a Detroit-centric Wiki explains them this way: "Mac Saturn is a soul-powered rock and roll band born from a gastric mass in the outer reaches of a forgotten renaissance. They are currently planting the seeds of Rock & Roll in gardens all around the michigan, and working on writing the follow-up to Atomic Medicine."  mmmmkay.

The lead singer/frontman is a dude named Carson Macc, which is really a name.  He was the drummer originally, but it sounds like they've shuffled personnel for a while to get to this lineup.   Macc and guitarist Nick Barone have been playing together since they were teenagers, but they added a handful of other dudes and have been recording some new tunes to push the band out to the world.

They only have six songs, so there is not just a ton to go off of, but I'll readily admit that "Plain Clothes Gentleman" got me bopping along here in my office.  "Diamonds" also has some boogie to it.  Good stuff.  Seems like they would be a fun show of danceable rock and roll jams.
