Sattori

Conception ~ circa june 2004...with former members of The Jimmisticks, EastBayPanic, and Mister Furious
Blame for this rests solely upon the shoulders of Chris Greene and Stephen Reynolds, the entrepeneur/start-up capital kings of the West.
An Idea...
...And Benjamin Franklin was all it took to get a practice space in Denton. TX
under the looming shadow of Morrison's Evil Empire.
...Gestating, adn realizing their music lacked melody, theye recruited Conor Wallace.long time friend and master :Flake", to add his vocal stylings (Graffiti quote ramblings to the Paranoid pop noise slurry. Only one thing remained...Bass...and since Robert Fennell=Bass, he was the obvious choice.
Sattori takes 42 bars on an empty page and randomly Jabs notes and melodies into its crevices... and when you hear nothing...
You miss the Primal/Bombastic drumming, the bass that croons like a starving whale, The Guitar that Skips, sprays, and twists like chainsaws in chocolate sauce, and vocals...
... pretty ones...

or if that wasn't enough for you...

One warm day in 2004 when the buzzards were buzzing, Chris Greene (guitar) and Stephen Reynolds (drums) decided that something needed to be done to stimulate Denton's music scene.  With the help of Robert Fennell (bass) and Conor Wallace (vocals), they are doing just that.

In March 2005, Sattori released their first E.P. infamously known as “Lullaby E.P.” which was a 20-minute venture through skewed time and space.  The disc touched thousands.  The band decided it was time to show their faces and had their greatest exposure during the NUSUFAYA Tour with Fifty50 during June 2005.  It was a crash course and many lessons were learned but the band didn't see any need to stop so the writing continued.

During autumn 2005 through early spring 2006, the band focused on defining a sound that they could call their own.  This included a brief encounter with Trenton Reeves (guitar).  He added what some might call H’cooc.  This means he was awesome but too awesome.  Practices became more difficult as they struggled to balance the sound.  Sattori fell into a funk.

But, like all great heroes, Sattori took a punch, fell off the horse, broke bones (and teeth), and still came out on top.  In May 2006, Sattori decided it was time to release something new, besides the death threats that were coming in left and right.  With that, Sattori has recorded all the material for their next CD entitled “Sleepwash” which will be released in the early part of August 2006.  Keep your ears peeled for Album of the Year.
