Have You Heard: The Satellites
"Music was an important part of rockabilly culture. It was a natural progression to want to play it."
Answered by: Belinda Hartman — rhythm guitar/vocals
When did you start making music and why? We formed 20+ years ago. Stray Cats were a huge influence and music was an important part of rockabilly culture. It was a natural progression to want to play it. Eventually we got creative writing our own music.
Sum up your musical sound in four words? Rockabilly and roots music.
If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Rock This Town by Stray Cats: traditional rockabilly music with attitude, unlike many rockabilly bands today who play it safe. Concentration now seems to be on authenticity, not individuality or creativity. Stray Cats brought a new life to rockabilly music.
