Satellite Party
Band Los Angeles United States Active 2004–2008
Satellite Party formed in 2004 in Los Angeles, United States and was active until 2008. Satellite Party has 5 chart appearances on 4 radio countdowns from 4 stations on RockLists, spanning 2007. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Wish Upon a Dog Star”, which appears on 3 lists with a best position of #54.

The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2007.
Satellite Party was Perry Farrell's next trip after Jane's Addiction fell apart in 2004, a Los Angeles project that started as a partnership between Farrell and Extreme's Nuno Bettencourt. The cast came and went: Carl Restivo on bass, with Kevin Figueiredo, Tony Kanal and Steve Ferlazzo passing through, and Farrell's wife Etty Lau Farrell singing backup and dancing.
Bettencourt was gone by July 2007, the year Columbia put out Ultra Payloaded, the band's one and only album. It's Farrell in full carnival-barker mode, glitter-dusted electro-rock with big grooves and bigger ideas, and "Wish Upon a Dog Star" and "Hard Life Easy" carry his cosmic-hippie swagger into the new century.
The party ended in 2008, when Jane's Addiction decided to get back together full time, and Farrell went home to the band that made his name.
