SATELLITE TRAIN

Satellite Train: A Journey of Innovation and Authenticity

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Satellite Train is a unique indie rock collective featuring members and collaborators from legendary acts including Icehouse, AC/DC, James Reyne, Paul Kelly, and The Black Sorrows, alongside U.S. contributors like Michael Paytner, Susan Turner, Randy Jacobs, Shane O’Mara, Jamie Muhoberac, John Mcall, Pasquale Monea, John Watson, and Chris Chaney.

At its core, the band creates music that is immediate, emotional, and real—crafted quickly to capture moments of honesty, rather than polished perfection. This raw, immersive style is what has come to define the Satellite Train sound.

2024 saw two major indie successes with the releases of “Superstar” and “Wings,” both charting on the DRT Independent Charts. “Wings” in particular has become a breakout hit, reaching #11 and now sitting just weeks away from achieving a full year on the chart — a rare feat for a true independent release.

Adding to the band’s artistic momentum, Michael Paytner was awarded the Judith Johnson Award at the Sydney Theatre Awards for Best Performance in a Leading Role in a Musical for Jesus Christ Superstar — a powerful example of the artistic range and diversity among Satellite Train’s members.

Now, in 2025, Satellite Train is quietly preparing something extraordinary.

With the release of “Paralyzed”, a new chapter begins, a bridge between traditional songcraft and immersive innovation. Two upcoming albums, arriving later this year, will introduce a concept unlike anything currently in the music space. It’s a bold experiment in sound, structure, and listening experience, and one we believe could inspire a new model for storytelling through music.

We’re not ready to reveal all the details just yet — but what’s coming next isn’t just an album… it’s an experience.
