The Satellites
Country: Sweden
Genre: Surf / Instrumental Rock
The Satellites is a guitar-driven surf and instrumental band heavily influenced by the American pioneers The Ventures. Their sound is rooted in classic surf rock, with fast picking, twangy guitars, and melodies that instantly bring you back to the early 1960s.
The band’s repertoire includes well-known classics such as:
Walk, Don’t Run, Pipeline, Journey to the Stars, Apache, and more.
The band was formed in 2003 by Johan Torstensson and brothers Mattias and Andreas Hyttsten from Svärdsjö/Vintjärn. Later on, Micke Torstensson also joined the band. After several active years, The Satellites took a break, followed by a comeback just before the pandemic. Due to limited live opportunities during that time, the band was once again put on hold.
In 2023, The Satellites were invited to perform at Midsommarrocken in Vintjärn. When Micke chose not to rejoin, William Svensson from Eddie and the Flatheads was asked to step in — a natural fit, as he previously played in a project focused on the same style of music.
Today, The Satellites are back at full strength, eager to return to the stage with new material and a sound closely inspired by The Ventures.
Take the chance to experience The Satellites live — a different and truly fantastic musical experience.

FLAT FOOT
Country: Sweden
Genre: Rhythm & Blues / Rockabilly
FLAT FOOT is the band that has taken large parts of Europe by storm with their swinging Rhythm & Blues and Rockabilly sound. Their energy and distinctive style have attracted attention far beyond the scene — to the point where Little Steven, guitarist of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, invited the band to attend a Bruce Springsteen concert at the Globe Arena in Stockholm to discuss possible future collaborations.
Unfortunately, the pandemic came in between, but the band has remained in contact with Little Steven and the conversations continue.
FLAT FOOT is a band that truly must be experienced live — don’t miss this exclusive performance at American Days.
