New LPs: The Satelliters + Dukes of Hamburg

Check out these new Dionysus Records releases for Summer 2014:
“More of The Satelliters” and “Liverpool Beat” by The Dukes of Hamburg!

MoreOfTheSatellitersIn celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Satelliters, Dionysus Records has just released our eighth album with the group, More Of The Satelliters, available on LP with an old-style slick on board cover, colored vinyl and digital code, as well as CD and of course digital download from all the usual places; iTunes, Emusic, Amazon, etc. On the LP and CD the group has paired nine original tunes with three classic garage-monsters in an all analogue-recording! Those of you who purchase a digital download will have to live without the three cover tune, all the more reason to buy the vinyl.

Kraut garage revival gang is back again with a brand new slab and 12 organ driven/fuzzed-out + some Byrds-esque Garage folk-rock 60’s influenced tunes. This is their 11th Lp in 20 years of wyld garage action so you better wach out! – Surfadelic Website

Also out at the same time, the new Dukes of Hamburg LP, Liverpool Beat available on vinyl only! There are two Dukes of Hamburg, both are a mix up from each-other, one from Bielefeld, Germany and one from San Francisco, USA. The story so far: In the early 90s, Thilo Pieper went to San Francisco and formed the American Dukes with ID1233158DukesOfHamburgLiverpoolBeatmembers of The Mummies, The Astronauts and The Phantom Surfers, and bassist Shannon Smith. The American Dukes toured up and down the West Coast and did two very successful European tours, then Thilo moved back to Germany and continued The Dukes in Bielfeld while the American Dukes were still doing shows. Both bands play ‘60s beat and garage with wild abandon and are inspired by  ‘60s German Beat favorites as well as early Pretty Things and other groups from the pre-psychedelic 1960s rock ‘n’ roll scene. Liverpool Beat is the first album by the German Dukes of Hamburg on Dionysus Records, following the release of three American Dukes LPs on the label in the ‘90s.

Both The Satelliters and Dukes of Hamburg have been with Dionysus since the mid’90s and in fact Thilo Pieper is the person who connected The Satelliters with Dionysus. It’s a fab honor to release records with both groups in 1014!

Get them directly from Dionysus!

Obituary – former Satelliters bassist Stuart Westcliff a/k/a Zoltan

Stuart Westcliff a/k/a Zoltan a/k/a Stu (1969 – 2011)

 

Ex-Satelliters bass-player and close friend of the band passed away of heart failure at the age 42, mid-October 2011.

Zoltan aka Stu was the most passionate guy we knew. We first met him when we played together in 1995 in Frankfurt. Back then he was the bass-player of The Insectmen, a really crude and mean garage-punk-trio playing well-chosen covers like “Tiger-Girl” or “Go Go-Gorilla” in their very own and great style. Since then we never lost touch. We shared the stage from time to time and after his band broke up and in 1998 and we were going through some line-up changes, he agreed to join The Satelliters. Zoltan took-over the bass-playing in a storm and brought our backing vocals, song-writing and arrangements to new dimensions. Without him we would have never been able to record one of our best records ever, our “mile-stone,”
“What´s Up With Timothy Dee?”

Rehearsals were so much fun and recordings always filled with new input, because he always had something new in the pocket and pushed things to the limit and beyond. His influences are still vivid in our music and his criticism on later records and live-shows were well-founded and welcome. When he left the band due to his disease he became a closer friend than ever and made his never easy way step by step. He never lost touch with music and bass-playing. He jammed from time to time with different people and helped out Redondo Beat when needed. He carried on collecting cool bass-guitars, recorded some fine lounge tunes as Stuart Westcliff and released one 45 on Redondo Beat´s Label Soul Sale. Beside music, Zoltan was a cineaste and an avid reader and he loved the Mighty Boosh. He always came up with new and unknown films, books and sure great music (most of it Soul and Soundtracks) and gave us new input over and over. He was a sensitive, friendly and funny guy and we always had a lot of fun making music and hanging out together…we sadly miss you!

The planned re-release of “What´s Up With Timothy Dee?” on Dionysus Records will be dedicated to Zoltan to keep his works and music in living memory.
We lost a close and long-time friend and band-mate and our world will not be the same without him – thank you Stu!

New Satelliters 7″ co-written with ’60s garage legend Neil Ford

Just released on El Beasto Records, Spain: The Satelliters “Lost In Time” b/w “Try It Out“ 7″ single.  “Lost In Time” is a collabration between ’60s garage legend Neil Ford of Neil Ford and The Fanatics, and Steve Sunrise of The Satelliters. Neil wrote the lyrics in 1969 after he left The Fanatics, and Steve put them to music in 2009. “Try It Out” is a 2:11 fuzzfest of 60s/00s garage punk extreme!  The record is pressed on  red and black splatter vinyl with a beautiful, thick picture sleeve and  protective black inner sleeve. A quality artifact, indeed!
