Satellite Train: Multiverse Experience

Satellite Train is an indie-rock band bridging Melbourne and LA, made up of musicians from Icehouse, The Black Sorrows, Paul Kelly’s camp, AC/DC, and more. What started as a casual side project has become a space for risk, experimentation, and emotional honesty. The band writes fast and records even faster, often taking the first or second take and keeping the nuance, grit, and imperfection in the final cut. Their sound moves between indie, gospel, jazz, and cinematic rock, always centered on real human stories, isolation, freedom, and voice. Recent releases point toward bold new territories ahead, not just new albums but innovative immersive musical experiences.

Satellite Train is Michael Paynter, Susan Turner, Randy Jacobs, Shane O’Mara, Jamie Muhoberac, John McAll, Pasquale Monea, John Watson, Chris Chaney, Gregg Bissonette and Tori La Rosa.

In 2024, the group released “Superstar” and “Wings,” both of which charted on the DRT Independent Charts. “Wings” reached number 11 and remained on the chart for almost a full year, reflecting the band’s steady connection with listeners.

Michael Paynter’s recognition at the Sydney Theatre Awards for Best Performance in a Leading Role in a Musical for Jesus Christ Superstar highlighted the breadth of talent within the project.

In 2025, Satellite Train introduced The Melbourne Sessions Multiverse Experience, an ambitious evolution in how recorded music can exist. Much like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse explored alternate versions of the same hero across different worlds, the project presents alternate versions of the band itself. Each platform and format offers a distinct mix and performance, as though listeners are hearing the group from a parallel universe. With Dolby-enabled headphones, those worlds come into focus through shifts in space, tone, and emotion.

The creation of the Multiverse Experience began at Studios 301 in Sydney, Australia, where engineers Stewart Geddes and Stefan Du Randt helped shape the initial sessions as early experiments and tests were conducted. The project then moved to one of the most beautiful and inspiring studios in the Hollywood Hills, which provided the perfect environment to complete the work. Grammy-nominated Robert Adam Stevenson pushed the boundaries of experimentation to elevate the release to its final form.

“James Dean,” created with the blessing of the James Dean family, captures the essence of timeless rebellion and cinematic beauty. Lifted off “The Melbourne Sessions Multiverse Experience”, the song takes on a different form in parallel universes.
