Satellite Boyfriend - Bam Bam Bah!from the cd "Yes Ma'am" - 1989
This wins the award for the catchiest song by a NC band. Hailing from Raleigh, NC Satellite Boyfriend were a popular live band. I'm not really sure what happened to this band. I know Andy Ware is now in Hobex but what happened to the other guys. Little help here?
Band Members:
Phillip Collins - Vocals, Guitars
Sam Dennis - Guitars, Vocals
John David Ellason - Drums, Vocals
Andy Ware - Bass, Vocals

Phil is an attorney:
Phil Collins concentrates on law
The demands of a new job led Phil
Collins to resign from the North Carolina
Rail-Trails (NCRT) board last year (Febru-
ary 2005) after three years of lending his le-
gal talents to the board.
“It was an honor,” the 42-year-old attor-
ney said of the hours he spent pouring over
contracts and land transactions for NCRT. “I
regret being unable to give more time.”
Collins worked as a litigator for insur-
ance companies in the Raleigh firm of Bailey
& Dixon before switching to the law office of
Terence E. McEnally in February 2005. He
now litigates for plaintiffs, particularly
Latinos.
Linking up with people was what spurred
the 2000 UNC Law School graduate to get
involved in rail-trails. As a litigator for in-
surance companies, his connections with the
community were minimal.
When David Coats, his colleague at
Bailey & Dixon and a NCRT board member,
mentioned rail-trails, Collins saw an oppor-
tunity to use his legal training to benefit
communities.
That meant wrestling with contracts,
DOT procedures for land use and the usual
legal bumps in the road dealing with the gov-
ernment.
Collins joined the board about the time
the Dunn-Erwin Trail opened in 2002. ”To
Phil Collins
see that come together was exciting,” he
said.
Coats, a Raleigh resident and a NCRT
board member for 13 years, said it was
easy getting Collins involved in NCRT.
“He is man of many talents” with “a tre-
mendous sense of humor," Coats said. .
A native of Burlington, Collins lives in
Raleigh with his wife and two daughters,
aged 3 and 6.
and of course Andy is in Hobex, recently performing with Katherine Whalen on tour, but he is a fabulous carpenter....very fine cabinetry and furniture work
hope this helped....they are great friends and I have great memories of Satellite Boyfriend

Thanks for the page on Satellite Boyfriend! I've known Phil Collins for almost 30 years, and the rest of the band members since the early '80s. Satellite Boyfriend evolved out of a high school band in Burlington called the Substitutes. Here are links to a couple of photo sets featuring Phil, Andy, and John David ca. 1981-82:
