Biography
Satellite Dogs based out of the South Bay/Los Angeles area. With eclectic tunes stemming from folk, punk, alt .country, psychedelic rock, coming from both singer/songwriters Mike Salas & Mike DeBe, always melodic but never sounding like just one of these genres.
The just finished CD titled "Showdown at Big Dalton" is a result of exactly that, a showdown between the band and Big Dalton studio owner/producer Mike Halby (Hound Dog, Canned Heat, John Mayall's Blues Breakers) and engineer Ken Raines (sessions with Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett) which left all parties laying in the dust, waking up wondering what happened....the result - A great F$cking Record!
Recorded mostly live in the studio, no Pro Tools and nare any effects in just a few days. Yeah, these guys taught us the old school way of recording the band live all in one room using old tube amps and vintage mics going direct to 2" tape through real plate reverb and an old Amek/Neve board. Mastered by Evren Göknar (Iggy Pop, Grand Funk Railroad, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Duran Duran, Mariah Carey, Queensryche) at Capitol Studios. Several songs from the album have been chosen for the indie film soundtrack "The Waiters".
Two songs from the album have been included in the Mexican indie film "Corazon de Campeon".
