8 I played the guitar for ten years before I realised it wasn t a weapon. Pete TownsHend Sam Phillips always encouraged me to do it my way, to use whatever other influences I wanted, but never to copy That was a great, rare gift he gave me; believe in myself, right from the start of my recording career. If there hadn t been a Sam Phillips, I might still be working in a cotton field. JOHNNY CASH

11 OUR FOUNDERS SPIKE EDNEY Pink Satellite Studio s Executive Producer and Musical Director CHRIS HAINES Owner & Co-founder Most notably known for being legendary Rock band Queen s musical director and keyboard player since 1984, British multi instrumentalist Spike Edney has toured, recorded and performed with many of the living and late legends of our time. His career began in the mid 70 s as keyboard player and musical director for Soul & Motown legends Ben E King and Edwin Starr. In the 80 s, after tours and studio work with Bob Geldof s Boomtown Rats, Dexys Midnight Runners, Thomas Dolby, Haircut 100 and Duran Duran, Spike commenced his 32 year career with Queen. The 90 s saw the launch of The SAS Band a.k.a. Spike s All-Star Band, featuring many of the legendary recording artists he has worked with over the years. It is from his extensive network of top producers, engineers, songwriters and musicians in the industry, that he will call upon to provide their services at Pink Satellite Studios. For further information about Spike, visit Founder of the Chris Haines Motorcycle Adventure Company, the 15 times Baja 1000 Motorcycle Championship winner and Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee s interest in music and collecting vintage instruments began with his love for the Beatles. Haines explains Because I ve been involved with racing, I m kind of an equipment person. I loved the Beatles since I was a kid, but about 15 years ago, I started getting really interested in what kind of equipment they used to make that magic. Chris s love for the high desert and its music scene, combined with his interest in developing a state-of-the-art recording facility, lead him to creating Pink Satellite Studios with co-founder Spike Edney, after a conversation over some martinis and BBQ at Spike s Joshua Tree cabin. Spike dubbed the project Pink Satellite Studios...because it s pink! Chris lives with his wife Karen (founder of Spa Girl Cocktails) in Palm Springs and they are active patrons of the arts.

12 Guitars are like women, you ll never get them totally right. SLASH When I m stuck for a closing to a lyric, I will drag out my last resort: overwhelming illogic. David Bowie The time I burned my guitar, it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar. JIMI HENDRIX A bad rendition of you is better than a good rendition of somebody else. Willie Dixon My best songs come from making a lot of mistakes and playing a lot of garbage. Eric Johnson Elmore James only knew one lick, but you had the feeling that he meant it. FRANK ZAPPA All of the great sounds that James Burton and Jimmy Bryant were getting, came out of Telecasters. ALBERT LEE Anyone who uses more than three chords is just showing off. WOODy GUTHRIE I don t know shit from shinola. Maybe that s why I m so original. ACE FREHLEY When you play the guitar, you don t have to say nothing. The girls would say something to you. BUDDY GUY

17 PINK SATELLITE PROJECTS There is an underground scene in Joshua Tree. You can feel it. Chris and I would like to find and encourage new, unsigned artists with an affinity to the Joshua Tree area to come and record one, or two tracks. At the end, I d like to have a Best of Joshua Tree compilation album - hopefully do one a year to give the music scene something to aim for and provide a platform to help launch new artists careers. Spike Edney For bands and artists interested in submitting material to be considered for the first Best of Joshua Tree compilation album, please contact Kyle Verwers Edney on kyle@pinksatellitestudios.com. Deadline January 15th, 2017.
