S aturday Night Moses is a Col
lege Station band that is
“anything but just rock.”
The band, which is influenced
by German opera, plays its own
rap songs, and has a guitarist
who claims to have a talent for
playing out of key, is Saturday
Night Moses.
Vocalist Stephen Philp, 22, said
the band will be thriving on im
provisation when they play
tonight at Vertigo with Baboon
and Greenella.
“It’s pretty much a free for all,"
Philp said. “We just let the pieces
fall where they may.”
A year ago, Philp joined forces
with bassist Dave Morales, 22,
and a drummer who quit the
band after a few months. Soon af
ter, the two adopted guitarist and
philosophy graduate student G.K.
Parish-Philp and played their first
show with Soma.
Chris Kline, the former Soma
drummer and senior industrial
engineering major, became Sat
urday Night Moses’ drummer five
months ago.
“It’s such a jam free style,” Kline
said. “The music comes from our
hearts. We’re not playing to please
anyone. We play for ourselves.”
The four band members have
different ideas of what the audi
ence can expect from
their live shows.
“Pageantry
adorned with spec
tacle,” Parish-Philp
said. “We’re not four
guys in flannel just
screaming onstage.”
“Intensity — we
like to make it a
show,” Philp said.
“It’s very in-your-
face,” Kline said. “Ex
pect to be shocked.”
"Steve’s a freak,”
Morales said.
Parish-Philp said
that the band has
difficulty fitting in
with the College
Station audience.
“We’re not the
most compatible,
classic College Sta
tion band,” he said.
“I guess we’re not
very radio-friendly.”
Despite the incompatibility,
Saturday Night Moses was chosen
to be featured on a soon-to-be-re-
leased KANM compilation album.
Although they have recorded
the album and a four-song demo
tape, they said they enjoy playing
live the most.
With influences ranging from
Primus, Kottonmouth and Pink
Floyd to German opera singer
Frederick Nietzsche, Morales said

the band’s style is not the norm.
“We all come from different
backgrounds and grew up on dif
ferent kinds of music, so we just
kind of go with it,” he said. “We’re
so into writing our own stuff.”
The band members agree that
Saturday Night Moses will never
be seen playing a cover song.
"Playing a cover is insulting
the audience,” Parish-Philp said.
Philp said the band’s first
hows with new memte i, \ j us t sta
