Taking Saturn is an alternative rock band coming from the suburbs of Northern Virginia & Washington, DC.
The band was founded by Darien Anthony and Stan Chong in the winter of 2007. Originally, the project first started under the monocle “Darien” named after Darien’s first solo project. Stan and Darien, then roommates, had been practicing songs for the solo project and playing around with the idea of starting a new band. After numerous ads, they recruited guitarist Danny Haddad.

In early 2009, the band released “The Human Effect”, an 8-song hard rock album that best represented them at the time. They immediately began promoting their album in their hometown, from parties to rock clubs to headlining spots, including venturing out to states like Maryland, Philadelphia, and New York.

Through the years, the band remained close and continued writing music together. The bond that originally brought them together was something distance or difficulties couldn’t break.

In late 2017, the band officially reunited in late 2018. In the winter of 2020, the band recruited drummer Justin Wilson and released their much anticipated album "Awakening Light" . The band continued playing shows in the DC area to promote the album.

The band is currently working on releasing their third album, "Elements of Nature" expected to release in the spring of 2025.
