The Georgia Satellites are an American Southern rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. The band was first formed in 1980, by Dan Baird, (formerly a guitarist for Atlanta band The Nasty Bucks) along with lead guitarist Rick Richards, bassist Keith Christopher and drummer David Michaelson as Keith and the Satellites.

After adding a new bassist and drummer, (Dave Hewitt and Randy DeLey) the band recorded their first demo at Axis Studios in Atlanta. This is when the band changed their name to The Georgia Satellites.

Soon after the demo was recorded, the band disbanded in 1984. The bands former manager, Kevin Jennings, who was English, took the demo to a Yorkshire music label who released it as an EP. Because the press response was positive, the band reformed and were eventually signed by Elektra.

They achieved mainstream success with their 1986 debut album, featuring their best-known single “Keep Your Hands to Yourself”, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Two more albums followed – Open All Night (1988) and the band’s last to feature original material In the Land of Salvation and Sin (1989) – before they went on hiatus in 1990.
