Bio
Originating in 2002, Wasted Saturday has gone through several lineup changes since it's reformation in 2008. The band currently includes original member Sal Germano Jr and drummer Dan Zimmermann. Dan spent late 2008 and early 2009 as a rhythm guitarist for the band but has recently taken over drum duties. With the lineup complete after the addition of bassist Jerry Hastings, Wasted Saturday plans to concentrate on new material for the eventual release of their first official EP by early 2010!
Primary songwriter, singer, and guitarist Sal Germano Jr's biggest influence as a young musician was the Smashing Pumpkins. It's an influence that can be consistently heard in his songwriting, vocals, and guitar playing. Later influences are the more rock n' roll bands such as the Black Crowes, Led Zeppelin, and Guns N' Roses. Having played with several of the artists that have influenced him over the years, Sal has developed a strong work ethic and continually strives to bring out the best in his bandmates. Being a multi-instrumentalist, Sal's musical visions transcend his main roll on stage and are well communicated by his talented band.
Drummer Dan Zimmermann, who originally joined the band as a rhythm guitarist has more recently taken over drum duties. With a heavy Bonham influence, Dan's thunderous drumming and ever increasing capabilities provide a consistent and well placed backbone for the diversity in each song and performance.
Jerry Hastings, the most recent addition to the band, and a graduate of Berkley College of Music, is holding down the groove on the bass. Having a Masters in guitar, his recent switch to the bass has been an easy one. Providing a steady yet intricate bass line to each song is Jerry's specialty. Never overpowering, but never buried in the mix, Jerry's unique and skilled attack of the bass lend melodic and strong additions to each song.
Each member is a multi-instrumentalist which gives this band a unique position. Without too much of a wait, they hope to have their first official EP ready in early 2010 and will be ready to hit the circuit hard! Wasted Saturday expects to have a successful 2010 and are ready to show the world what they can do!
