NEW RELEASES:

LP/ CD "WHERE DO WE GO?"
Release-date: OUT NOW!!!
Distribution: Lumberjackmordam/ USA

"WHERE DO WE GO?" is the latest release by Germany's high-priests of 60s-garage-acid-psyke, THE SATELLITERS. Recorded at IronBar-studios in Germany and released by the world's greatest and lone surviving garage label, DIONYSUS Records/ USA, this album includes 10 original and all-new SATELLITERS songs plus 3 cover-versions: THE BIRDS "No Good Without You Baby", "I'll Make You Sorry" by THE SHADOWS OF KNIGHT and THE PARAGONS-smasher "Abba". This mind-blowing release is housed in style by famous European designer, T.Eschweiler. Along with the albums "High Karate", "Sexplosive", "Wild Knights of Action", "Hashish" and the EPs "...Shake Shake Shake" and "The Satelliters", "Where Do We Go?" is an essential and important recorded milestone for fans of fuzz.


EP "IT CAME TO ME"
Release-date: OUT NOW!!
Distribution: Brokensilence/ GER

Our long friendship with Traxman ("Gaunermaschge") and sure his good taste finally led to this first release on his fabulous label SOUNDFLAT RECORDS. THE SATELLITERS present four exclusive and non-LP-tracks on this brandnew EP called "IT CAME TO ME". They laid down 3 original songs (Nice, Everydays´s Mourning and Cry, Cry, Cry) plus a smashing cover of the Q65`s "It came to me" which final mix and the fact that the Q65 are one of their fave bands lead them to put it up as the title-track of the EP. This EP has it all: Pounding beats, driving harp, cheesy organs and gunloads of FUZZ. Cover-art: T.Eschweiler!


EP "UNKNOWN STATE (OF MIND)"
Release-date: OUT NOW!!
Distribution: EL BEASTO RECORDINGS/ ES

After a smashing tour in Spain in January 2008, El Beasto Recordings (also responsible for the tour booking) and THE SATELLITERS decided to go on with this successful and great partnership in releasing a new SATELLITERS platter. The guys exclusively recorded 3 songs of their current live-set for the EP. Two garage-punkers written by THE SATELLITERS ("Unknown State (Of Mind)" and "Take Some Soul") and the haunting "Shame On You" of Neal Ford & The Fanatics` fame were chosen for the record. FUZZ, FARFISA and MEAN VOCALS - what more do you need?? Get it before it is sold out - it´s limited and on blue vinyl by the way. Cover-art by T.Eschweiler!

Geschrieben von Tor Loewenherz, Samstag, 04 März 2006:

Und dann der Act, wegen dem ich die 200 Meter auf mich genommen hatte: "The Satelliters". Ein kompletter Umbau verwandelte die Bühne vom Equipement her in einen Sixties Beatkeller. Und genauso ging es ab. Die Darmstädter zogen gnadenlos authentisch ihre fulminante Show ab: kurz, schnell und hart jagte ein Song den nächsten. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit verwandelte sich der Platz vor der Bühne in einen Hexenkessel, wo selbst eingeschworene Fans der anderen Bands wild pogten. Schweisstreibender Beat vom Feinsten. Begeisterte Schreie brachten noch die ein oder andere Zugabe zustande, bis ich glücklich die Musikhalle verließ. Rock'n'Roll is not dead!

REVIEW of "WHERE DO WE GO", January 2009 LA Vinyl Records Examiner

"Take a psychedelic trip with the Satelliters, Germany's high priests of fuzz"

by Jason Gelt, LA Vinyl Records Examiner

The Satelliters have endured lineup changes and one major image adjustment but through it all their status as a kick-ass German garage rock outfit has stayed constant as the circling of the planets. Since their first seven-inch in 1994, their distinctive pop hooks and fuzz-laden guitar riffs have grown richer and sweeter.

Taking a cue from theatrical Bay Area budget rockers like the Mummies, the Ripoffs and the Trashwomen, the Satelliters started their career clad in matching black leather fetish masks and noir outfits. But their songs were always more polished and evolved than their San Francisco brethren, even when they pounded out crude punk rock whoppers like "I Hate You," on their 1995 Pinup Records 10," a split with the surf-rockin' Astronauts.

Fourteen years later the Satelliters have shed the masks, but their music has remained constant in its quality, as evidenced by the band's ninth album, available for a limited time in a chocolate-swirled vinyl re-pressing from Burbank's own Dionysus Records. The album gets off to a rousing start with "Abba," (watch the thrilling YouTube video below) and continues apace with a slew of atmospheric, psychedelic-infused stompers, including the triumphant title song, the diamond-sharp "You Cannot See," and the churning, keyboard-punctuated "Hey."

Known for audiophile-friendly mastering and a genuine affection for the colorful tradition of vinyl records, Dionysus is -- now that Sympathy for the Record Industry has left the building -- one of LA's final remaining high-class independent record labels. Check out their catalog of stellar releases -- including early L.A. punk like the Controllers and the Rotters, sinuous Exotica like Chaino and current garage rock luminaries like the Satelliters HERE
