Sorry for the lack of updates but I am currently working on the 3rd Satelites vlog at the moment. Too much work and skating now the weather is amazing. Upcoming Satelites shows are everywhere so come out and support them. Check the myspace, the facebook page, watch the vids, over and over and over. Oh and tell ppl about them, enjoi.

Random pics

Skate Peripheral Visions

Alot of the skate stuff you have seen me put up is from hours and hours of skating different places and filming different people. Here's some pics from behind the scenes, I have enough of these kind of pics so more and more will come up eventually. Hope you enjoi

Randomness, Screen Capture

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.

Update June 11th, 2009

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.

My memorabilia of Satelites

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.

Another magical moment at the Reverb

For those who didn't get to make it out, shame on you lol . Well not really cuz your the one who missed out on another magical night at the Reverb. Demos were gone as soon as they were being given out. For those who want to get a demo be a little patient till we get them mass produced. For now enjoy these pics from last night.

Happy Birthday Mr. Pinlac + Updates

Today May 15, 2009 is Allen's 23rd birthday, the guys are also leaving for cottage this afternoon minus Theo, Fred, and I. Hope they have a safe and fun trip. Theo is putting the final touches to the post production of the tracks on the Demo. Fred and I have work this weekend, hopefully I can make it out for this sunday. The Demo is practically done and is going to go under the mass production stage after this long weekend. Tickets for the upcoming show are now on sale, this gig is going to be packed so get your tickets while they are still available.

Satelites' timeline part 8

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.

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

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.

Question your reality!! Update May 3, 2009

Found this video from one of the channels I subscribe to on youtube and I think if you want to learn more truths you got to look for them.

Allen and I ended up just chillin yesterday talking alot about these kinds of things. We ended up going to Killas place and dropped a piece in his backyard. I also got to see his Chameleon and it made me miss mine :P enjoi the pics

Mr Syd Belen your a Genius

No Special effects here folks, only real magic in the making (im talking about their music hahaha) this is another one of Syd's Amazing pics. Enjoi (I got some stuff lined up for next week so come back and check it)

Update April 30, 2009

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

Satelites' timeline part 6

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.

Memorabilia Monday - Satelites' Buttons

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.

Update April 8, 2009

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.
