Charged up from drinkin' 'white lightnin', we're coming at ya like a cut down hotrod draggin' main street. Formed early in 1997, Satellite V gathered some twin harmony Honky Tonk material. The five piece lineup includes Tim Knuckey Vocals and rhythm guitar, Tim has performed with many great bands including: Wet Taxis, Dobbs and the Ludebakers, the Troglodyte Hillbilly Cannibals and Carbunkle Shack. Ed Colbourne is on drums and has also played with the great Dancehall Racketeers , Rex Kelaher on guitar, and Special guests; Damien Lawson on Double Bass, and Peter Doyle on steel. The fellas have long been fans of what we now call 'roots music', be it Blues, Jazz, Swing or the older style 'Country Music'. Satellite V have combined their original music with authentic 50's sounds to create a unique hybrid of Rockabilly, Hillbilly, Western Swing and Jump Blues.'Hail, Bop Comet!' their 1st release was a huge success, and full of toe tappin' jivable tracks such as 'Washing Machine Boogie' along with twisted originals like 'Cane Cutter Boogie' where cane toads burn alive!, and 'Hail,Bop Comet' the CD's theme song that describes the folly of 'Bo & Peep' and the demise of the Heavenly Gate Cult. Satellite V's 2nd album 'Groove Juice' was unleashed on waiting fans in June 2000 combining fuel injected original tunes - the law abiding 'Speed Limit Daddy', outlaw biker 'Beetles miss you Johnny', interstellar 'Satellite Boogie' and rubber burnin' 'Hillbilly Nitro'. 'Hillbilly Safari' Satellite V's 3rd album was released in 2002. It features originals including;'Ganymede Baby', 'Hudson Sled', 'Fruit Fly',and 'Hillbilly Safari', and renditions of 'Bellbottom Boogie' '3 Alley Cats', 'Pop let me have the Car' & 'Honey Hush'. There's a total of 14 tunes on this great new album. Satellite V have established a bent & Rockin' thing they call Atomic Hillbilly.With steady gigging around and about, word has quickly spread that Satellite V are a must for Rockers & Honky Tonk jivers.They've proved to be a favorite with the folks in the know. The band has played at Coolangatta's Wintersun Rock 'n' Roll weekend, 'The Great Southern International Blues & Rockabilly Festival' in Narooma, 'Greazefest' in QLD, and Tim has featured at 'The Summer Jamboree' in Senigallia, Italy as well as the 'Elvis festa'.
