Starting in 93 the band soon started to develop their own interpretations from trashy to originated 60s sounds. Releasing several LPs/CDs and 7" EP`s the band started plaing live on a regular base. Even the line-up-changes over the years couldnt stop the guys from going on with their uncompromising way in sound and live-appearances. In the past 8 years the band played in Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Holland, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark and the US-westcoast twice. Dressed in turtlenecks, hipsters and beatle-boots and equipped with authentic gear they know how to turn on people...beside this they recorded 8 LPs/CDs (of which 5 were released by US-cult-label DIONYSUS RECORDS) and several 7" EPs, compilation-tracks not to mention!!
NEW LP/ CD "WHERE DO WE GO?" and EP "IT CAME TO ME" OUT NOW!!

Some Reviews:
Funny, they don't *sound* German. More like American or British, specifically bringing to mind The Byrds baking a cake with the Kinks. And the cake has some sweet fillings. And sprinkles! This is genuine garage rock that you won't believe wasn't recorded 40 years ago. These Satelliters are defying all logic. -Kenyon Hopkin/ Advance Cop, USA
Superb 60’s psychedelic garage rock from Germany. Absolutely smashing, baby! This is psychedelia like the first wave – don’t expect too much mind-altering. Our minds have grown steeled over the years. If someone ever does a proper remake of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, these guys should play the Strawberry Alarm Clock role. This makes me so happy I don’t even mind being at work! No FCCs detected. It’s all either great or fabulous, but I’d start with 6 and 7 together on continuous play. Then play everything else. -Sadie O. - KSZU Zookeeper online, Stanford/USA

Some Reviews:
"Immer noch die beste deutsche Neo-Sixties bzw. Garage Rock Band sind The Satelliters aus Darmstadt. Die beständigste sind sie inzwischen auch. Der Titeltrack ist ein gelungenes Cover des Nederbeat Stompers von The Q65. Manisch und wild und komplett mit Harmonika Solo. Die drei eigenen Songs der Band sind aber mindestens genauso gut. Die Jungs haben sich seit Jahren dermaßen in diesen Sixties Garage Style vertieft, sie können wohl nur noch Originale schreiben, die klingen als wären sie 40 Jahre alt. Feine Fuzzgitarre, oszillierende Orgelklänge, treffliche Trommeln! Mein Favorit hier der letzte Track „Cry, Cry, Cry“ mit dem an die Yardbirds gemahnenden sitarähnlichen Gitarrenriff und dem unerwarteten Shuffle Rhythmus. Große Klasse! **** GUITARS GALORE (GER) 10/07"
"A estas alturas es mas que probada la solvencia sonora y sonica de los Alemanes, con un nuevo álbum bajo el brazo , de nuevo para el mercado americano y de nuevo en el sello de Lee Joseph, con este ep hacen temblar los cimientos de los garajes con la version de “It Came to Me†realmente apoteósica, el resto del disco son temas de cosecha propia “Nice†mas pop y cargado de sonidos farfiseros, la directa “Everyday´s Mourning†con una entrega envidiable y cerrando un “Cry Cry Cry†que no tiene que ver con las demás canciones del mismo titulo y algún guiño psicodélico en las guitarras, un gran trabajo para los amantes mas aguerridos de este genero musical KICK OUT THE JAMS (Spain) 09/07"
