Satellites LV, formerly known as The Satellites in their early rock period (1996–1999), is a Latvian musical group formed in 1996 in Riga, Latvia. In the summer of 1997, The Satellites won the Grand Prix of Liepajas Dzintars, the biggest rock music event in the Baltic States. Soon after, the band started working on their first record “Piens” / “Milk” (1998). The Satellites music has continued to evolve into a more post-rock/experimental sound. In 2000, the band changed its name to “Satellites LV” and started working on their follow-up album, Kind of Glue. Songs from the album were played on several radio stations in Europe (VPRO – “Night Train” (Netherlands), from Studio Brussels). The name of the album, “Kind of Glue” is a reference to the Miles Davis legendary recording Kind of Blue. In December 2006, three members of the band decided to reunite Satellites LV. The band plays at live shows and releases singles. In 2009, two albums were finished – “Bezvadu” / “Unplugged” and “Vadu” / “Plugged”. After that, “Pagrīdē” / “Underground” 2012 and “Varavīksnes Galā” / “At the end of the rainbow” 2017. Despite the fact that the group’s albums are treated differently in the media and by radio stations, it has a solid fan base of various ages.
