Satellite inn

Back in 2002, Satellite Inn were the italian touring band for Robert Fisher (Willard Grant Conspiracy). That

persuaded him to handle the production of what it should have been Satellite Inn’s second album.

What did happen is that MoodFood Records went out of business and the band on permanent hiatus, as

well as the songs included in that demo.

After the self- release of their 2024 eponymous album, Satellite Inn, almost a decade since the death of

Robert Fisher that lost songs reappeared in a box of Satellite Inn’s unused master tapes. The material was

so inspiring for the band that they decided to pay a tribute to their old master. Those early songs sounded

so fresh that they became the backbone of their new record, due out on February 2026.

For the occasion, Satellite Inn will team up again with their old friends at the historic El Cortez label in

Portland, Oregon, once run by Richmond Fontaine and now the platform distributing aural gems from the

acclaimed band The Delines.
