I am a musician/songwriter with limited means and I am trying to leave something behind and create something that has at least some artistic value, but that is for others to decide...

Saturna is the rock ‘n’ roll band you want to listen to before, during, and after the party. Their debut EP …All Night serves up a tantalizing cocktail of ethereal guitars and riveting drums, tender harmonies and heart-ripping hooks.

With a swirl of melody and a pulsing drift of guitar, the wordless beauty of “Springboard” launches your night. You sip a vodka tonic, and you’re off. You plunge straight into the city blasting “Pop Rocks.” The tick-tock drums and fuzzed-out Love & Rockets-style vocals spark something ferocious inside you. You finish another drink and drop your glass. You lose your friends, your money, and half your senses, but the sexy bassline keeps looping through your brain. It’s not enough. You want more. More. So the night gets nastier: “Just for Thrills” slashes you with dirty riffs. You sneer and smile, blurring through bars and parties. Streets and cars and clubs and shows. The song drags you snarling through an underworld of twisted love, but then the harmonic chorus shimmers above the rumble. For a moment you can think. Where are you? What did you just do with who? Forget it. Too late. You’ve passed the turning point and begun the long glide toward dawn with “Blanket of Stars.” Finally, in the melancholic “Chasing the Unpredictable,” you face the sun and try to figure out what it all meant. One thing is certain: you want Saturna’s …All Night again.

Charismatic Ryan Carroll graces lead vocals and rhythm guitar; while Eric Block, the most unassuming rock god in America, manhandles lead guitar; and Steve Anderson, detail-crazed genius inventor, takes on drums, bass, and backup vocals.

Mixing swagger and sweetness, Saturna soundtracks your whole night—from sundown to downtown to dawn.

My name is scott b. and I am the Worthing. I live in San Francisco, but thanks to sites like Insomnia Radio, LastFM, and of course Myspace I have found friends and fans in places as far away Germany & Japan. I hope to find new friends/fans here as well... Thanks for stopping by. Full bio below:

"In a world that's full of wholes…"

So states one of the lines in the Worthing's song 'The Picture Show.' To singer/songwriter Scott Basta that line means much more than just the irony it evokes. "I write songs about acceptance... And often times accepting things for how they are is a painful process. Like existing just outside the whole of life."

While the Worthing's music is rich in dark expression of emotional turmoil, upon further exploration the listener finds the songs are really more about the life within us and innocence in a world that does it's best to take it from you. Scott traveled extensively across America in his late teens and early 20's trying to find the place that he could best fit into to. "No matter where I was I always had at the very least an acoustic guitar to keep me sane. I have always felt like the odd man out in most social situations... I think my songwriting reflects that." Indeed, most of The Worthing's songs are works that anyone who has ever felt lost in life can relate to. They are songs are about dealing with a world that we truly don't understand but are doing the best we can to adapt as we move along day to day.

Scott first began writing songs at an early age and ultimately ended up in San Francisco where he met other like minded individuals and formed a band called The Innocents. As often happens in the early stages of a musical group, members came and went, but all the while Scott was writing music with the same insistent sound... After a time the name of the group changed to The Worthing but the sounds remained the same. Now, with The Worthing at a full creative throttle Scott feels he just may have found a 'Whole' that he can fit into.
