The Georgia Satellites are a rock group from the southern part of the United States and are best known for their 1986 top five hit single "Keep Your Hands to Yourself".
The band, fronted by Dan Baird until 1990, issued four albums: Georgia Satellites (1986) Open All Night (1988) In the Land of Salvation and Sin (1989) Shaken Not Stirred (1997)
Their debut album, Georgia Satellites, was their most successful album to date, featuring the hickish track "Keep Your Hands To Yourself". That song went all the way to #2 on the Billboard chart, topped only by Bon Jovi's "Livin' On A Prayer". Other hits included "Battleship Chains" and "Can't Stand The Pain". Since the late 1990s, band members Richards and Price still play together as The Hellhounds, with Pitts on drums. Dan Baird continues his solo career in Nashville, and Mauro Magellan has left the music business altogether, working a regular job in Wisconsin. Besides his commitments to The Hellhounds, Richards also plays with former Guns N' Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin in his band, The Ju Ju Hounds. It is not known whether or not there will ever be another Georgia Satellites album, or a reunion of the original band.
