THIS IS THE BAND YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO EXPERIENCE!
The Satellites Of Love (SOL) - Paula (bass, vox), Tuulia (guitar) and Anna (keyboards, vox) - started playing and composing they Beatlesque pop songs in Helsinki, Finland in January 2003, where they premiered live at the legendary Semifinal club before departing to Barcelona, Spain later that year.
The drummers had always come and gone but eventually, in 2007 the Finnish femmes met their Drummer of Love, Pau (=Peace) in the mystical underworld of Barcelonian Metro. Their folksy-pop-60's music started to have more progressive rhythms, the sound a heavier edge and the lyrics more profoundness.
The band has attracted fans all over Barcelona where they've psyche-rocked the house in venues like Apolo, Luz de Gas, Be Good, Capsa, Zac and the famous rock'n'roll club Magic.
In 2008-2009 The Satellites played (both years) at Liverpool's famous Cavern Club & Pub in the International Pop Overthrow Festival and in 2009 also at the Abode club, Manchester.
They also did various gigs in Helsinki (On the Rocks, Factory, Rocktown, Liberté, Texas Bar.). In their homeland Spain, The Satellites toured with the American garage gurus The Fuzztones and played at the Pop Art Festival in Cáceres, were Bonvivant Records awarded them with a Pop-eye award for the best female band!
In 2010 The Satellites won the Finnish category of The Best New Song In The World Contest and ended up being one of the international finalists with their hit song "Fly Away".
In the summer of 2010 The SOL adopted a new member: guitar hero Peter Melin whose influences vary from flamenco to heavy metal. Together they recorded their debut LP in Helsinki. It was produced by Santeri Kallio (Amorphis), mixed by Mikko Herranen and mastered by Svante Forsback (Chartmakers - and yes, the same guy has mastered a number of international top acts like Rammstein!).
The Satellites of Love's music is a refreshingly peculiar mixture of Psychedelic, Progressive and Stoner Rock, beautiful vocal harmonies, multicolour melodies and original effects mixed with hints of Oriental sounds and Flamenco Rock, which make them sound and look like aurora borealis on fireworks! A totally unique, yet pleasurable experience you can't deny your eyes and ears, it might just blow you to an other orbit!
