Georgia Satellites

From their bar band roots to their chart-crashing megahits to their current tour of sold-out shows, The Georgia Satellites have kept the world moving to sweet, gritty, three-chord rock n roll. Founded in 1985 by Rick Richards, Rick Price, singer Dan Baird and drummer Mauro Magellan, the Satellites quickly launched into stardom on the back of rockers like Keep Your Hands to Yourself, Battleship Chains, Hippy Hippy Shake and others.  Critically acclaimed albums and mind-bending performances earned the boys a permanent spot in music history. After a brief sabbatical following the departure of Baird, The Georgia Satellites returned with a vengeance in 1993.  Led by Price and Richards and joined by drummer Todd Johnston, they have packed houses around the world with their blistering brand of Southern rock. ***Taken from the bands website***
