- Montreal Rocks caught up with Detroit rock n roll band MAC SATURN backstage at l'Escogriffe before their packed show on February 7, 2023.
The band tells us about their beginnings, how they feel about musical comparisons and the new music they have planned for the future.
Bursting out of Detroit, and the same studio where Greta Van Fleet got its start, Mac Saturn is a music-first quintet that fuses the best of its members' disparate influences into a high-energy and highly melodic sound that's vibrant and infectious. With personal roots that go deep -- frontman Carson Macc and guitarist Nick Barone have been playing together since they were teenagers -- Mac Saturn has grooves at its heart, playing with a buoyant energy that makes dancing a command rather than an option, and with a dynamic scope that speaks to the group's musical ambition, and precision.
As drummer-turned-singer Macc puts it, "The songs are rock, but they've got that other thing going on -- that funky, dancey, Motown, whatever you want to call it -- that makes them our own thing." Mac Saturn covers a lot of ground on its debut five-song EP Until the Money Runs Out, from the hip-swiveling "Diamonds" and "Mr. Cadillac" to the urgent punch of "Persian Rugs," the treacly touch of "Ain't Like You" and the rootsy restraint of "Plain Clothes Gentleman." And Macc sings everything with the assurance and swagger that's as much Harry Styles as Mick Jagger.
As Detroit music journalist Gary Graff praised, "Mac Saturn's muscle puts the band on a different plane than of what can be considered contemporary pop-rock." Catch 'em on tour around North America this winter and get in on the ground floor of what will surely be the next significant band to hail from the historic heritage of the Motor City.
Can't wait to hear them open for The Struts next month.
Saw these guys in a tight ass room in CT a few weeks ago. Best effing energy I saw in a long time! Hope we see a lot more of this group♡
Great Great new band. They are hard to describe, except f'in awesome. I see and hear elements of the Stones, the Doors and maybe some Bowie. Love these guys!
I think they have a Steely Dan vibe!
