Providing unique alternative sound since 2002, That Saturday has evolved into one of Chicagos premiere rock bands. Lead vocalist/guitarist Marlon Aguilar and rhythm guitarist Jimmy Bellavia founded the band, and after a short acoustic coffee shop circuit That Saturday jumped to the local club/bar scene with the additions of drummer Noel Curran and bassist Jon Escondo. The group is comprised of, not only musicians, but also students of music. While their musical talents are mainly self-taught, their knowledge of music theory, audio engineering, and music business has been obtained through several years of combined study. After a year of experimentation, That Saturday developed their first self-titled album which featured their first original song Euphoric; a glimpse into a growing musical unity. That unity was never more apparent then in their 2005 EP "Closer to the Truth" featuring the song that the band believes to be their most progressive work to date, "Cool Air Night." The 2005 EP quickly developed into a full-length album entitled, "We Go Livin On." This 2007 extension of "Closer to the Truth" featured such tracks as "Help for Us," "We Go Livin On," and "Friends and Enemies." The success of That Saturdays music has allowed them to perform in diverse venues including, but not limited to: The Bottom Lounge, The Double Door, The Elbo Room, The Blue Note, Martyrs, Western Illinois University, Excalibur, and Lakeshore Theatre. The Band continues to explore new and creative ideas, always looking to improve their sound, stage presence, and ever-growing fan base.
