"Satellite" by RedRoom

 


RedRoom cover "Satellite," a 1987 offering from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania roots rockers The Hooters.

Great, albeit hooterless, version.

RedRoom are most likely from London, UK.... and possibly an offshoot of the group T'Pau.  

Though, the LinkedIn profile for the drummer indicates that he's from Florida, working stateside for the past 7 years.

So.... who knows?

For another Hooters cover, the Kilkenny Band's version of "Karla with a K" can be found here.
