Today the new Satellite Hearts single "Doing Things Right" was released via Bandcamp. To get the fans pumped and ready for their brand new song, the band has been releasing bits of their past.
To join in the excitement, here are all the tidbits and videos that the band shared today!
1st Show
To coincide with the release "DOING THINGS RIGHT", tomorrow night at 7PM, we'd like to share where we've been and how we've led up to where we are now! We'll be posting a bit about our history leading up to tomorrow night....here's a pic from our first show at Mcguinn's Place in Lawrenceville, NJ, way back in February 2010.
First Show at Walla Fest
Here's "IMPERIAL GREEN" for you folks from our first show at Walla Fest!!! From 2010 -2012 we played extensively in Philly and throughout the Northeast. In Philly we've played at the Mill Creek Tavern, Connie's Ric Rac, Adobe Cafe (South Philly), The Fire, upstairs at the The Trocadero, house shows, and many other places that we can't remember. Our first show in Philly was at The Draught Horse near Temple University!

"War can be a dangerous sport
Leaving you bleed for more
Oh, my war..."
Our last show at Walla Fest as a trio...which eventually led to the release of our first album "IMPERIAL GREEN" later in July.
IMPERIAL GREEN
FUN FACT: The first five songs were recorded live in one take.
IMPERIAL GREEN ALBUM RELEASE
In July of 2012 we had our album release for our debut "IMPERIAL GREEN" at Triumph Brewing Company of New Hope. Check out this raw video from the show of "Bombs!" & "Heavy Fire".
After we released "IMPERIAL GREEN" we played at Penn Ice Rink for the Philly Roller Girls and our friend Brandon filmed us.
"What a crazy scene? Nameless faces race for the headline must be the year of the thief..."
Let's continue the history of the first five years of Satellite Hearts...after "IMPERIAL GREEN" was released guitarist Dre DiMura joined the group, which resulted in the creation of the second phase and our "FOUR TO THE FLOOR" EP have a listen!
Our journey with Dre led to wild shows up in Syracuse University, Vermont, and all over the Northeast including Toronto, Canada for Indie Week...we burned many miles and met many fantastic human beings...take a look from Syracuse! There are many many pictures, but here are a few...
"Why'd you run little babe? You are young and you sting....The beat flies out from nowhere, you gotta start from somewhere, but your life is like a prison and your innocence is treason..."
"You wanna hang me out to dry? You wanna take me out well let's go for ride...you wanna go for a ride???? COME ON!"
Momma Holler The summer of 2013 began our period of backing up other bands/singers...this started with a band called Momma Holler!!! We met newfound friends Ally Pekins, Kirby Sybert, and Chris McFarland...we still hang with Ally & Kirby to this day! Kirby now performs in a group called Up the Chain and Ally is currently writing/recording in NYC. We present MOMMA HOLLER'S "TRAGIC TRAGIC"!
You can find Momma Holler's album, "You Got What You Wanted Here": http://themusicrag.blogspot.com/2013/09/momma-holler-album-update.html
Now during the fall of 2013 we were both Momma Holler and Satellite Hearts...in October we did our first international trip and played at Indie Week in Toronto, CA, for 3 nights. We even played at a venue called The Cage and there was a stage with a cage! Our friend Olivia Alonso Gough documented our adventure to the great north...click the link for exclusive photos and at the bottom of the page click "Next" for more:

"Three bells ring at will by the seashore, pray tell wishing well four to the floor...look around won't you question this place 'cos if I were king you wouldn't even have to pay..."
Backing Ali Wadsworth
By the end of 2013 we parted ways with Dre and Momma Holler...and started performing with the one and only Ali Wadsworth. This opened up the flood gates to other artists. We became a trio again and started production on 13 songs...one of which you will hear tonight.
One of the first shows we did with Ali was cover Pearl Jam's "TEN" in its entirety. Kyle Perella of Levee Drivers joined us on guitar.

RON GALLO
2014 was a transition period for us...we began rediscovering our sound and ourselves...JP and Keaton moved to Fishtown in Philadelphia and our presence became more vibrant. We also backed up another friend by the name of Ron Gallo who released his debut "Ronny" and was formerly of Toy Soldiers!!! Ron will have some new tunes for you this year as well.
