Attosa CaisleyMarch 16, 2013Oops! Feel silly being sad all this time cos I heard "Spaceland has closed forever!" Here it is. As the Satellite. Same good stuff. Same great scene. So happy it's here! Parking blows - just valet :)
Kellie SalmeronJune 4, 2017The bartender was awesome and made me a gummy bear shot when they said it couldn't be done. I love club 90s! It takes me back !- The Wild Honey PieOctober 17, 2017This great venue has helped launch the career of acts such as Beck, Foo Fighters, and Silversun Pickups.
Zachary McFaddenSeptember 9, 2012Crashlanding on the Inland Empire in a month or two. A member of my band with me. Hip Hop based Genre bender, looking to get in on this grimy SoCal scene I hear so many wondrous things about.
Thirsty JamesMay 6, 2014Don't judge, here for free Mondays, great indie music scene, $2 PBR - avoid that Stella on tap, like warm piss, ya I said it.
Phyllis LangleyApril 21The Satellite is a very good rock club. Indie music is the best so far . The first time experience was so great that i felt completely refreshed. Thank you...- Where Los Angeles MagazineMay 21, 2012This dive is a fixture of the Eastside music community. (It helped launch the careers of Elliott Smith and Beck.) Catch acts popular with the Pitchfork-reading set, like Magic Wands & Gauntlet Hair. Read more
Line6November 30, 2011A Silver Lake staple, the Satellite hosts emerging local and touring bands. Need a last-minute costume change or guitar re-string? Fear not, the artist area opens directly onto the back of the stage.
MADEJune 7, 2016A tastemaker for the eastside rock indie set, get your L.A on at this legendary venue.

Hillary NoelleApril 13, 2015Great bands and DJs. Hipsters paradise with the upstairs bar and pool table.
You can't start lining up for shows until 5pm. That's also the same time they open their lot for valet parking.
ampcloud fmMarch 1, 2012you can dj the satellite with your smartphone before a show and during band downtimes. ask the bartender.
Arnie PanameñoFebruary 24, 2016Make sure you ask your bartender to tell you your tab after you order. I got charged $52 apart from my bill. Had to call the bank.
JustineSeptember 13, 2014Shout out to all the couples cuddling & making out on the dance floor hey I'm just here to see the band👋
RCRD LBLApril 13, 2011The former, formidable Spaceland is still a small, cozy Silverlake spot - so perfect to get comfy with the band.
Kyle HarrisJune 20, 2011Awesome for local bands. Real layed back vibe and a nice bar. Could do without the disco ball though.
BravoNovember 12, 2010A really great place to see a local band without any pretension. -Danielle Keene, Top Chef Just Desserts
Finally, i found a great mix: live rock, red wine and beer. La gente súper chida.
Jordan LongJuly 2, 2011Tip the bartender twenty bucks and youll get handed a wireless mic to do a kareoki version of madonas ray of light.- Brock LaBordeNovember 28, 2011My friend Chris Trew sat at one of the tables here and said it was a great table for sitting at.
LA Home & StyleMarch 19, 2013Formerly Spaceland, this is the preeminent space on the Eastside to see bands.
Melanie FormosaJuly 13, 2010Saw the White Stripes here! Must have been 110 degrees up near the stage. Smoked in the smoggy goldfish bowl (you can't smoke there anymore?) Read more
Bring a sweater; sometimes it's a bit chilly in here. Other than that...enjoy!- Come every monday in September for the Big Black Delta residency, this band is unreal!
Read the signs on surrounding streets to avoid a hefty parking ticket !
Iyana GregoryAugust 17, 2011If you really wanna do it right, go for the free Monday night "Local's Only" showcase.
Don't ever order a Stella upstairs, it tastes like the hoses have never been changed.
The Big Black Delta residency every Monday in Sept. What better way to spend your Monday night?
Ashley JexJuly 8, 2010So much easier to get a drink at the back bar - Plus they have Chimay on tap back there
Bartenders are bitchy, bathroom sinks barely work, everything else is perfect.
Pauline BarrientosOctober 18, 2010ask for a glass a water. all bars in Ca have to give you water if you ask.
- Pauline BarrientosOctober 18, 2010the upstaries bar has this echo effect going on... sit back and enjoy someone elses conversation.
Mention thenewlimb.com and get half off on drinks Monday Wednesday and Friday
Eat at Leela Thai before the show... You might just sit next to the evening's talent. Happened tonight!
