As you may have heard, The Satellite (Formerly Spaceland) will no longer be operating as a music venue. The iconic Silverlake venue had hosted the Los Angeles debut shows for a lot of artists as well as performances by Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Beck, Editors, Foo Fighters, Le Butcherettes, The Killers, Miike Snow, My Morning Jacket, The Presets, Reggie Watts, The White Stripes; "secret shows" with the likes of The Bravery, Cold War Kids, Death Cab For Cutie, Lady Gaga, Local Natives, Julian Casablancas, etc; and legendary free residency shows featuring The Blood Arm, Silversun Pickups, and Rilo Kiley just to name a few. The club was also featured as the setting for the fictional band Munchausen By Proxy (Led by lead singer Zooey Deschanel) in the 2008 Jim Carrey movie 'Yes Man.' We always liked catching Interpol's Carlos D on the Galaga machine in the early days of Turn On The Bright Lights when the band was always in town. The Satellite was recently known to host great comedy shows which included a monthly residency by Neil Hamburger, club nights, and club shows for local artists.
Owner Jeff Wolfram shared on social media today that they will no longer be a music venue and will be renovated to operate as a bar and a restaurant. Check out their statement below.
