Satellite Party Rocked
This week I was able to go up to the Gothic Theater in Denver to see the band Satellite Party. This band is the latest project from legendary frontman Perry Farrell. Perry was formerly in the bands Jane's Addiction (one of my all time favorites) and Porno For Pyros. He is also the founder of the Lollapalooza Festival which forever changed the concert industry. My friend Carl Restivo is the bass player for Satellite Party. Carl and I were classmates at NYU where I used to go see his then band IZ play at legendary spots in NYC like CBGB's and the Pyramid Club. What's weird about the entire situation, is that when I knew Carl in NYC, his band used to do a cover of the Jane's Addiction song, "Mountain Song." I asked Carl if it was surreal to now be playing in a band with Perry. . . of course he said yes. I want to thank Carl for hooking me and my friends up with tickets to the show and taking the time to hang with us before and after. All the other guys in the band were super nice as well as the guys in the opening act, Mink. I wasn't familiar with them, but was really impressed. You can check all of them out via their Myspace pages:
