Debut Album Ultra Payloaded to hit Stores on May 15th 2007


Los Angeles, CA - Alternative rock originator and one of music's most
influential figures, Perry Farrell, has announced that on May 15, 2007
he will hit the airwaves with his most anticipated creation to date:
Satellite Party. His new group is a bold and ambitious project that
finds the founder of Lollapalooza in his first post-Jane's Addiction
recording effort, creating an innovative conceptual album entitled Ultra
Payloaded [SONY BMG MUSIC (CANADA) INC.Columbia Records.] The idea
behind Satellite Party was born out of Farrell's passionate belief that
one step at a time people can change the world, and with this endeavor,
he is launching a musical movement to do just that. Weaving together an
array of genres with Farrell's modernist thinking, the music of
Satellite Party tells a story through a collaborative brain trust of
artists, musicians and environmentalists called The Solutionists, who
seek to redesign and come up with solutions for the world.

Blending sounds as varied as rock, electro, urban beats and symphony,
Farrell enlisted guitar virtuoso Nuno Bettencourt with new musicians
Kevin Figueiredo on drums, Etty Lau Farrell on background vocals and
Carl Restivo on bass. The album, produced by Farrell, co-produded by
Nuno Bettencourt and executive produced by Steve Lillywhite, features a
host of guests participating in the recording, including The Red Hot
Chili Peppers Flea and John Frusciante, UK production duo/beat-makers
Hybrid, New Order/ Joy Division bassist Peter Hook, down tempo pioneers
Thievery Corporation, Porno for Pyros' guitarist Peter DiStefano, Black
Eyed Pea's Fergie, film composer Harry Gregson-Williams (Chronicles of
Narnia, Kingdom of Heaven), and a 30-piece orchestra.

One of the album's highlights features an unreleased Jim Morrison vocal
track, the first unheard Morrison performance in almost 30 years.
Entitled "Woman In The Window," Morrison sings against a backdrop of
Farrell's music, "Just try and stop us, we're going to love" before the
song culminates with an elegant piano outro. Farrell calls the track the
mantra of The Solutionists.  Other tracks include the "Wish Upon A Dog
Star," which is also the album's first single, "Kinky," and "Celebrate,"
a Sly Stone-like groove marrying calypso and disco. Farrell also shows
his softer side on the tender "Awesome," written about seeing the world
from the heavens, which marries David Bowie-esque vocals with the
understated beauty of Nick Drake.

After assembling what would become one of the greatest rock bands of all
time, Jane's Addiction, in the early 80's, Perry Farrell has continued
to be one of music's cultural leaders and most important figureheads.
Farrell and Jane's Addiction revolutionized the rock scene, and from
there Farrell went on to conceive Lollapalooza, the seminal music
festival that encapsulated youth culture and launched the traveling
concert experience touring industry in the US. With a successful
transformation from a "touring rock show" to a "destination festival" in
2005, Lollapalooza gave Chicago in 2006 its largest party in the city's
history with 180,000 people attending over a three day weekend. Now
Farrell is preparing to do it all again with his landmark Satellite
Party project.

Three years in the making, Ultra Payloaded is an album that will further
cement Farrell's status as one of world's true artistic visionaries.  In
continuing to look at ways to marry his love for music and drive to
inspire change, the project marks a new chapter in his recording career.
More than just an album, Ultra Payloaded is a wake-up call that is
imbued with the same passion and idealism with which Farrell has lived
his life-- from working to better the environment when he took his
proceeds from Lollapalooza to work with the Costa Rican government to
help preserve the rainforest, to human rights when he raised a
substantial amount of money for the relief fund and the rescuing of
slaves in Sudan. Perry Farrell and Satellite Party are currently working
closely with Stop Global Warming (www.stopglobalwarming.com) and Global
Cool (www.global-cool.com) to cool off the planet Yet, while there is a
story within Satellite Party, it is still an album first and foremost,
and it's a record that finds Farrell in prime form.

Satellite Party made their debut live appearance in Aspen, Colorado on
January 25th as part of the 2007 ESPN Winter X-Games. Additional tour
and exclusive live dates to be announced shortly. Please stay tuned to
