Their self-titled debut album was released in 1996, the first 5000 copies of which were sold via mail-order through a teen magazine. The album was then available on wide distribution after the band signed with Ceepee Records. The single "Kosong" made them household names, with the accompanying video gaining heavy rotation.

Their second album, Utopia, was released in 1999 through Aquarius Musikindo. Because of personal and business reasons, Pure Saturday was mostly inactive for several years, culminating in Suar's departure in 2004. After unsuccessful auditions to find a suitable replacement vocalist, Satria "Iyo" NB, the band's manager, eventually filled in during rehearsals.

With their new lead singer, Pure Saturday released their third album, Elora, in March 2005 through FastForward Records.

Pure Saturday
Utopian Dream

You take me to a special place
Where nothing can go wrong
So let's walk the road together
Guess what we'll find tomorrow

Huuu...
Huuu...
We're living the utopian dream
Huuu...

I've been walking around last night
Never look to heaven
We all should have some destinations
But like memories they all fall
Cold night has no pity
Home is where I want to be
Still don't know why I spend my time
writing songs I can't believe

Huuu...
We're living the utopian dream
Huuu...
Huuu...
We're living the utopian dream
Huuu...

Sauvéz moi la vie
Huuu...
Sauvéz moi la vei
Huuu...

(End)

Everyone should have a goal in mind

But like memories they all fall
However, just like memories, goals can fade away
