Satellite Train Honors Hollywood's Immortal Rebel in "James Dean"

Melbourne and LA-based group Satellite Train brings together seasoned players from some of Australia's most respected acts, including Icehouse, The Black Sorrows, Paul Kelly's band, and even AC/DC's extended family. What started as a casual side hustle has grown into something far more significant: a space where veteran musicians can take risks and chase ideas without overthinking them.

Their latest track, "James Dean," comes from The Melbourne Sessions Multiverse Experience, and yes, that ambitious title hints at something different. The song was created with the blessing of the Dean family, and it digs into our endless fascination with Hollywood's original rebel. It's about chasing that larger-than-life existence, playing the rebel and the lover and the fighter all at once.

The song cleverly describes how James Dean became immortal precisely because he died at twenty-four, forever frozen in that beautiful, defiant youth. If you're looking for music that takes chances and doesn't sand down every edge, Satellite Train delivers. "James Dean" is a strong entry point into their world, and The Melbourne Sessions Multiverse Experience promises there's plenty more to explore.
