Here is what happened to this band...
In 1980, Dan Baird , along with lead guitarist Rick Richards, bassist Keith Christopher , and drummer David Michaelson formed in Atlanta, Georgia. After performing in local bars,they recorded a six-track demo. During this time, they became the Georgia Satellites and played at a beer-stained bar in Atlanta. Meanwhile...
Jeff Glixman, who had produced,artists Paul Stanley, Kansas, Gary Moore, Yngwie Malmsteen and Black Sabbath, was brought in. However, the band broke up.
After They disbanded, the manager, Kevin Jennings, took the demo to a record label, Making Waves, who released it as the Keep the Faith EP in 1985. The Georgia Satellites were reborn and the record labels noticed.
In 1986, they signed with Elektra to record their debut in Atlanta. The album, Georgia Satellites, was their most successful LP; featuring the track "Keep Your Hands to Yourself". It went into heavy rotation on MTV. Other songs included "Battleship Chains" and "Can't Stand the Pain", but the Georgia Satellites never had another Top 40 hit.
In 1988, they covered "Hippy Hippy Shake" for the movie Cocktail. Released as a single, it reached No. 45.
They released "Open All Night" it was not as successful as their debut. A single, "Open All Night" backed with "Dunk 'n' Dine", failed.
A third album, In the Land of Salvation and Sin, was released in 1989,It too failed.
The Label released a compilation Let It Rock: The Best of the Georgia Satellites in 1993 to try and get the last dollar out of them.
And that pretty much sums it up.
