I know it's been a long time, I finally got that new editing program but haven't really got the time to use it. I am now trying to organize my time to get some more Satelites vids up. I have to remake an intro since all my old files are now gone. Check back soon

A Long Awaited Update September 9, 2009 (999)

2009-09-09T22:45:00.003-04:00

I know it's been a while but there is a reason, actually a little problem I have been having with the software I use to edit vids. I don't know how long it will take to fix (hopefully this week) but as soon as it does the faster the vids will come back. In other news I am back in school starting a couple days ago so I will try to keep some time to updating this. Satelites have an upcoming Gig on October 16, 2009 at reverb for the Futures past album release party. Everything will eventually come up but hopefully I get everything dealt with this week so I can edit more vids. Check back later

Well it's been a really busy month, I have also just moved my workstation so it may be a little while before I get the programs on this macbook. I have alot of projects lined up to do and it seems like Satelites are getting back into the recording phase. There is alot of stuff in the works so please be patient. In the mean time watch the vids and play their songs, and tell people to tell people to tell people about these guys.

The next vlog will be pushed back so I can post up the battle of the car clubs weekend clip.

Summer is here in full blast. Nice sunny weather means less time indoors. I will be heading to the beach this saturday to chill with Satelites as they practice and all are welcome.

So Satelites and I were watching the bloopers reels on my computer the other day, and when I paused the vid this is the exact moment that was captured. We were already laughing at all the stupid stuff that was going on and when we seen this we were laughing even harder.

On Tuesday, Satelites had an open Mic gig at Free times cafe. I was lucky enough to be one of the many people who got to sit in that small room. If you guys remember I posted up a vid on May 12 of Theo at an open mic, it is the same place for those who want to see what it looks like. They actually performed one of their newly composed songs at the end, and the three man acoustic sounded amazing. Hope you enjoi the pics below.

Satelites' timeline part 9

2009-06-03T23:02:00.003-04:00

Remember if you are just starting now please click the timeline tag and start from part 1, thanks.

So while we waited for Allen to finish his confessionals, Art, Theo and I were fooling around in the other room. I remember Art playing the piano that was there and then the people from much had to come around and ask us to stay quiet lol.

They had so many things in the lounge area. There was a fridge full of steam whistle's, an Xbox, a bunch on rock mags, and alot of memorabilia from many famous guitarists.
While going through one of the magazines, Theo found his guitar in a picture.After all the confessionals were done, the first day of filming for disband was finished. On the way out of the museum Theo and Allen decided to check out the little setup they had going on there. Theo asked if he could have a pic with all the pedals.

They then proceeded to rock out on the stage. Arthur was on his way to take home his very own bass.

Arthur was super stoked on what much has done for them. It was now time to tackle this challenge presented to them.

My memorabilia of Satelites

2009-06-01T23:17:00.002-04:00

To prove to you that I have hours upon hours of footage from Satelites. Most of this was filmed in the last 3-4 months ( the HD footy of course) The older tapes are from last Sept-Feb. I have filmed a couple of their gigs as you can see in some of the stuff I have already put up. I am now collecting some footy to make a dvd in the near future, so everything you didnt get to see will most likely be on that.

Update June 1st, 2009

2009-06-01T22:43:00.002-04:00

Big things are poppin, sorry for the lack of updates. Whenever I go meet up with Satelites it's mostly meetings, and I can't really put vids up of us talking, but know that things are brewing up. Especially with the word of mouth spreading like fire now. The Myspace has been updated with some of the songs from the demo so if you haven't heard (where have you been??) also the profile pics have been updated from the last photo shoot we had at walnut. Future gig dates will be going up soon and we have had some nibbles from local labels, but thats all in discussion right now. More vids will be coming up shortly after the youtube maintenance is done.

We have about 50 or so, so if you make it out today ask us for a demo and enjoy it. I'll put up a vid of these guys taslking about the demo from last week. The sunnier it is outside the harder it is for me to not skate haha.

2009-05-06T12:08:00.006-04:00

Remember if you haven't read any of the other parts it would be good to catch up now before continuing.

As Satelites were being filmed, I was asked to stay out of the shot. I walked around the place and saw the different things they had on display. I walked back to the doorway so I could see what was happening. Greg offered a challenge to play bass and if they accepted they could have a bass of their choice and an amp. They actually had to film the challenge scene twice, which was quite random to see.
Art went through a couple basses until he found one he liked. The producers left to make an agreement with the gibson museum to get the bass and amp.
Theo picked up a guitar and starting jamming with Art. After the producers came back they asked to film confessionals for the episode.
Allen, Theo and I went around to the other room and before we went in they had to have a Pic on the in house stage.
We went into the other room and began looking at the decor. After chilling in the lounge for a bit Allen went next for his confessionals.

Huston on the tube

2009-05-06T11:58:00.003-04:00

I was surfing skate vids on youtube this morning and I stumbled upon this vid. When I really started to get into skateboarding (almost 4 years ago) I heard of this kid Nyjah Huston who just dominated this competition called Zoo York's Am Getting Paid. At that time he was only like 11 or 12. It's so crazy to see how fast some people can progress in skateboarding.

Busy, Busy, Busy And another Gig on the 24th

2009-05-04T13:00:00.003-04:00

The sunnier it gets outside, the more I skate. The more I skate, the less I edit :( I know, I know i'm slacking. You can't blame me i've been waiting for it to be this nice out since the dead of winter and I'm just taking advantage of that. I haven't run out of footy actually i'm stacked. The memorabilia for today was supposed to be all the tapes and stuff I have collected from Satelites, and I have collected alot of stuff. I didn't get to take pics of it yet cuz i've also been working alot more so all my free time goes to skating. We have got tickets in for the next upcoming Gig at the reverb again. With the Satelites as a whole band everyone should come and check it out. I already know it's gunna be packed and we are trying really hard to get this demo finished up in the next couple weeks. It feels like forever since they started working on the demo. That's how it is though trying to squeeze practice and having gigs.

I know this isn't a Satelites memorabilia, it's actually a Skyboy, actually it's knida for both. A couple months ago we had a serious talk (it was march 4) and we were talking about watching out for signs life shows us. I gave this munny as a gift to Xillionaire and it is displayed in his room like that. The Munny had a Sign which was a sign for us like the rocker munny was a sign for Satelites at Much.

2009-04-30T20:24:00.004-04:00

Last night was the last night Syd had the studio so we decided to do the photo shoot with the Satelites as a full band. Also the drums have come back to Skyboy studio to finish the Satelites demo. The Skyboy myspace is in the works and another update for the Satelites myspace is on the way. Here's a pic Syd took last night. Don't forget to check Syd's Blog (in the links section) Enjoi

Something for the fans

2009-04-29T13:23:00.002-04:00

I know that I have been slacking recently so I decided to share some of my secret stash of footy with you guys. I have tapes and tapes of these guys at different performances. This is the first time I recorded Override DJ and it's one of my favourite (even though all the songs are my favourite haha)

Hope this clip here makes people want to come out to hear the complete sound with Fred and the whole set. Enjoi

Update April 27, 2009

2009-04-27T10:36:00.003-04:00

So if you guys haven't already seen this, this is one of the main reasons why Sateliets keep getting fans on youtube. Watch it over and over and give it 1,000,000 hits haha. Sorry for the lack of posts, it's getting nicer out so I choose to skate as often as possible. The gig they had last saturday at poor alex's was amazing. Hearing the full sound was mind BLASTING haha and seeing the full band was a sight to see. With a little breathing space till the next gig these guys got alot of work to do. We all do actually, this wednesday is going to be another photo shoot with the complete band at Walnut. These guys also have to push the demo to completion. The Myspace is going to be Revamped and the myspace for Skyboy is also in the works. The next month is going to be a good one so watch out for progress and I'll try my best to keep this thing updated for all of the regular followers. Remember this vid needs 1,000,000 more hits so keep watching ( I still watch this all the time, I can never get bored of this, it's too sick, good job Art and Theo)

Satelites' timeline part 7

2009-04-22T09:38:00.004-04:00

Remember if you haven't kept up with this post read the other timeline posts before you continue.

Satelites kept playing in that room, jammin out their set at the time. I noticed that the main camera guy left with some of the producers, meaning the guru had come. Greg entered the room with the camera behind and the Satelites acted shocked. After a brief talk he asked them to play the song they want to play on DisBand. Greg sat covering his ears while tapping his foot to the beat. He then judged the song and told them all he was hearing was a wall of sound. Greg was wondering why they didn't have a bass and told them that it was a stupid idea to come on the show without one.

After a break the producers and Greg discussed a little on what was going to happen next. Greg gave us directions to go to a certain place "tomorrow", and then he left. We started to clean up all the equipment while the much producers borrowed some time from each of the guys to film confessionals.

When everything was all cleaned up, Satelites changed into what they had to wear for "tomorrow", and we were told to follow where the Much truck was going. We ended up around Queen st. W and Dufferin area, got parking and they started filming them walking down the sidewalk.
The producers at Much had taken us to the Gibson museum after hours and we had the whole place to ourselves. I chilled around off the camera as they were filming for "tomorrow". Arthur had left me his camera so I stole shots without people seeing.

Greg was in a room full of guitars hanging on the wall, a piano in the middle, and amps around the ground. He then welcomed them to the gibson museum and they filmed for a little bit more.

I got to hear Satelites practice yesterday with a full sound. My only words were Magic. Allen was killing the drums and everything is starting to sound more crisp. They have practiced a couple days with Fred already. Hopefully he will be playing on Sunday, also we just received the tickets yesterday so get in contact with us if you want to go. Satelites will be playing with another band they met on filming disband, Chasing Amee, so expect an amazing Live show.

Satelites' timeline part 6

2009-04-15T12:25:00.005-04:00

Remember if you haven't read any of the other parts it would be good to catch up now before continuing.

In late october Satelites had gone to a couple interviews at much. They went to find out if they were going to be on the show. Here is a clip that Gerald filmed on the way to the first interview.

After Satelites found out they were going to be on the show they were so psyched. The first film day was a month after the first interview. As soon as they heard the news they practiced, and practiced, and practiced. The location of their first shoot for disband was at the Rehearsal Factory, on November 17, 2008.

I remember walking in there for the first time. It was like a maze of corridors inside. From their website I had found out that most of the room had themes going on inside. I could hear from walking around that other bands were practicing inside. We had passed a couple doors that I found interesting.

We found the manager after walking around lost for about 20 minutes. He showed Satelites to the room Much Music booked for them to use.

While Satelites were setting set up, the producers and filmers from Much showed up. The camera guys pulled out their equipment and started filming them play.

Satelites played, and the camera guys filmed, and they all waited for thier guru to show up.

to be continued.

Memorabilia Monday - Satelites' Buttons

2009-04-13T11:40:00.005-04:00

This weeks memorabilia will affect more of you guys out there especially if you guys attended the gig last friday. The collection of buttons I have are first edition of firsts (if that doesn't make sense I got the first of every button made). I will go into detail of who design what and how those ideas came to be.

We'll start of with the faces series. This series contains all the Satelites' faces on white background with a different colour for every face. Blue for Allen, Green for Theo, Red for Arthur. The concept was brainstormed by us at a meeting, we wanted the Che Guvera look. Syd used the pics he had and took the headshots and came up with the silhouette look.

Here we have the old school logo and the new logo. The old school logo was a concept developed by Franzis and Allen. The purple background and stars were added by Modified (Toni actually designed all the buttons you are looking at) The new logo was Designed by Xillionaire to add a touch of futuristic imagination to it. Again colours were modfied by Modified haha.

These buttons were designed by Modified and the concept came from Allen who would write STLTS instead on Satelites, This was first seen on the memorabilia with the pink munny.

Finally the Pride of the first series of buttons, The Signature collection, these buttons are the most rare in all the collection. While the others had hundreds of buttons each face only had 16 released so if you are a lucky one to have one keep it safe. Concept was from Allen and Modified pics are the same as the faces pins taken by Syd.

Well I hoped that, that informed you on how this stuff came to be, the vid also shows us working very hard for these buttons so keep them and cherish them. One day in the future who knows they can be worth millions.

Getting back in my groove

2009-04-12T20:20:00.003-04:00

Well I injured myself a couple days ago before the Satelites show and I am in no condition to skate so for now I will try and get back on track and edit vids. I added a couple more scenes to the demo promo I've been working on, all thats left to do is adding text and final touches. I edited this clip from the day of the performance hope you enjoi.

Tired after a long day, update april 11, 2009

2009-04-11T20:14:00.005-04:00

Yesterday was crazy, if you missed out on the Satelites' performance don't fret, there's another coming up next week on the 19th. I got to film the performance yesterday but Satelites have asked me not to leak the footage for now until we can decide what to put on the DVD to be sold with their demo (yes they do have a Demo in the works so be patient) it has been a long weekend and the after party and the after eating after party got me home around 3. Of course being the filmer that I am I had to watch to footage over to see how it is in HD on my TV. Sorry guys only pics for now until I can work something out with these guys. The pictures were taken by my Girlfriend so I hope you enjoi. For even more pictures check out Rilla's Blog (she was the event photographer) http://www.iamrilla.com/

Update April 8, 2009

2009-04-08T08:21:00.003-04:00

Only TWO DAYS away from the Satelites performance w00t w00t, aren't you guys excited. Well we have been keeping busy doing alot of things to prep for this. I just heard from Allen a couple days ago that all cameras are allowed at Kathedral so bring whatever you like. We were preparing some merchandise for this coming show. Toni and Jon found a way to rent a button making machine. Last Thursday during the meeting we brainstormed about 9 pins to make and we ended up with 10 designs yesterday. I bought the whole set last night (the first of every pin made ahahahha). It's a pretty long process making buttons but it's all worth it in the end. Buttons are going on sale for 3 for 5$ so watch out for them on the merch table. Here's a little clue the red signature collection set is the most rarest buttons in all the buttons (hope that made sense) for now enjoi these pics.

Youtube is GAY!!!

2009-04-07T08:09:00.002-04:00

So I uploaded 3 vids yesterday and for the skate montage I used the song Dead Wrong, Youtube decided to be gay and remove the audio cuz of copyright infringement. The only shitty part is after I export a Vid and review it, I delete the files so I have more space on my laptop. So now I have to find another website I can try and upload it or next time i'll use a skyboy track.

Whomp Whomp for Toni and I, anyways I got to film most of the shoot and Art and Allen used my SLR to take pics of what was happening.

If you haven't read any of the other parts please do so before continuing so it doesn't get confusing. Thanks and Enjoy

I had spent the rest of my summer mostly with my fam and close ones, but I regularly visited Allen's to hear them practice. Every time I came back there were more lyrics down for more of the songs. By the time september came I was already filming in the Skyboy studio. A friend of ours came by, Joe Tillo, he is a rapper and he threw down on some of the Skyboy tracks. I had a talk with the Satelites letting them know that I wanted them to be in my first project. I made a little episode thing for them and for me to gain experience editing and producing videos.

The fimling started late september, early october. around mine and Theo's Bday. The first time they recorded drums is early october. They had just recently made a Myspace because Satelites wanted to get on the show disband. After recording tracks for the myspace they sent their info to much music hoping for something good to happen. Satelites noticed that as soon as they put their link on an Adventure cover Art and Theo did, they were getting alot of hits and great feedback from random people. In the first week of october they got a reply from Andrea, a producer from much, asking them to come in for a little interview the next week. The day of the interview landed on Theo's Birthday making it a great 22nd Bday, presenting Satelites an amazing opportunity.

They kept trying to record an electric set with no luck, but they did gain experience in recording. After finding out that they would be on DisBand they brought the drums back to Allen's to get proper practice.

With their filming coming up in november they were anxious and excited to see what was in store for them.
