I met Mark Loveys several times shortly after Destiny in Motion was released. He was still working for Phillips lighting at the time - even though the single had been released. I worked for a firm that supplied Phillips and Mark used to be a familiar face around the place. I remember baling Mark up in the lunchroom for Friday drinks and asking him to look at some of my lyrics - as I was starting a band. He seemed impressed an asked for a demo tape with music. Very nice and down to earth guy!
I saw these guys back in the late 80s opening for Dire Straits at Athletic Park. They were bloody awesome and the next day I went out and bought the album. Still have it now and play it occassionally.
thanks a lot deane sutherland , your pitty greed has destroyed any chance of a valued kiwi band ever coming to fruition.
I just hope one day what goes around comes around, mark and the rest of the crew that worked hard to bring this band into being only to have your insecure jealousy come to the fold by stealing their trademark.
I don't care if you you sue me for slander mr sutherland , im just a poor cleaner , but maybe
@ouch1978 if you did this whole drawn out saga would come out of the shadows and we can let the courts,but more importantly the NZ PUBLIC decide the fate of a band that should be up there with DD Smash, Hello Sailor, Dance Exponents and many more great kiwi bands that shaped New Zealand music into what it is today.
I am Deane emabrassed to even call you a fellow KIWI for what you have done i await your reply , as I know you tried to shut this link down you will eventually read this
I loved Satellite Spies and I bought the Destiny in Motion LP. Years later I was passing through Whakatane and saw a sign promoting “Satellite Spies” playing at the local that night. My friend and I decided to stick around and catch the act for nostalgia’s sake. We were puzzled and disappointed all evening because all they played were pretty average covers.
Has anybody got a clear copy of this classic song,if so can you please upload it,i love this song....

They opened for Dire Straights in 1986 at Mt Smart stadium. I don't think they were really a stadium band.
