"No one's gonna die, it's just art"

This week, host Sara J welcomes Loveland, CO–based psychedelic indie rock band Satellite Pilot to the show. Joined by Cody (bass), Amy (guitar, synth), Sierra (keys, harp), and Alex (guitar, vocals) — with a shoutout to Jared on drums — the band sits down to talk all things Satellite Pilot as they gear up to release their first EP, 2 furreels 2 true, out December 12th.

They dive into the creative process, favorite tracks, what it’s like bringing these songs to life on stage, the story behind the cover art, and so much more.

The conversation kicks off with the current lineup sharing their history with the band, how they came together organically, and the unexpected little community of fans that’s blossomed in Wichita, Kansas.

From there, each member opens up about what it means to be part of the “ever-expanding energy machine” that is Satellite Pilot — and how the project fuels their own creative worlds, including the music they make outside the group.

Then, the band gives a look at what’s coming in 2026: their first-ever live release, To Live to Dazzle, recorded at Dazzle — Denver’s beloved jazz club. Plus, plans to record a lot more, drop a run of singles, and hit the road for shows that stretch “beyond.”

A real look at a band building momentum on their own terms.
