What can you say about Saturday Supercade? Well, I guess I should start by clearing up just who Saturday Supercade is. First you've got Casey Beagle playing bass, Chip Kellam on guitar and vocals, Aaron Boyer doin' the drum thang, and "fresh fish" Brian Niesz added just moments ago on guitar.

The band's been doing their pop-punk thing for a couple of years now, and although they sound better now, they were cuter then, so if your going to go see them I'd do it as soon as possible. These chumps have put out a couple of seven inches, some tapes, whatever. I mean, come on, you don't care, I don't care, let's just skip that part and move on to the good stuff: high stakes gambling.

"We went to Atlantic City on the way home and we lost $1,500 on two bets. It [the table] was a $700 minimum bet, but you win some you lose some. You don't get to be a high roller just sittin' at the table. You've got to put the cards down, that's how you get to be a high roller. We got a free breakfast the next morning and we got to stay in a nice hotel room, plus there's free drinks, so I guess it averaged out." Yeah, sure it did.

Is there really anything else to say after a story like that? No, not really, so let's just get to the band info. Saturday Supercade's newest release, the full length "A Study in Adult Contemporary Punk Rock" is out on Red Leader Records and is available at any of your fine local record stores, or if you can't get your ass off the damn Internet, you can order it at http://www.redleaderrecords.com/. Also look for the 'Cade on the "Punk Uprisings 3" compilation, and they have a song, a video and an interview on the "Incompatible" comp, out now on Victory Records.

Now that you know how damn popular they are, you'll probably want to go look at pictures of them in their underwear, so you can start by checking at http://www.thecade.com/. Call it a hunch.
