EVEN THOUGH I AM PART OWNER OF SATELLITE PARK, I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE MY SCIENTIFIC AND UN-BIASED OPINION ON THE MATTER.
I ( SPEAKING AS THE STUDIO ) SERIOUSLY LOVE JOSIE AND HOPE SHE HAD A PRODUCTIVE TIME HERE. SHE'S A GREAT TALENT !!
THANKS SO MUCH !!! ( SPEAKING AS JOSIE ) I HAD AN INCREDIBLE TIME WORKING AT SUCH AN AMAZING PLACE WITH THE SLIGHTLY UNBALANCED BUT CHARMING GEZA X AND THE PSYCHOTIC YET ENDEARING RAMBLINGS OF ONE PAUL ROESSLER.



I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH MYSELF AGAIN, EVEN PLAYING WITH MYSELF ( IN A BAND, PERVERTS !! )
BUT I WOULD NEVER DATE MYSELF AGAIN. EVER !!!



GEZA X click on image
There is so much to say about Geza X, I don't know where to start. He designed our amazing studio. He produced some of the great seminal records of the California punk sceneThe Dead Kennedys, The Germs, Black Flag.
He worked with rap and hip hop artists in the earliest days of those scenes. He produced the enormous international blockbuster hit "Bitch" for Meredith Brooks. His own band, Geza X and the Mommymen put out one of the coolest out-there records ever.songwriter, guitarist.Sometimes it seems he's worked with or knows everyone.and has tried his hand at everything!
And I'm leaving out his questing thirst for knowlege about philosophy, politics, the gallery shows of his artwork, the books and articles he's written.
Truly an amazing character and Renaissance Man!!!

PAUL ROESSLER click on image
Paul is too talented and too smart to be working at Satellite Park.
He's a punk icon, as we all know, but a killer programmer, keyboardist, engineer and producer extraordinaire. He's a published poet but very silly and our very own resident anarchist with bizarre personal habits that we prefer to know as little as possible about.
