Seattle , featuringShawn Smith (vocals, piano and guitar),Regan Hagar (drums), John Hoag (guitar) and Mike Berg (bass) who replaced original bassistCory Kane in 1995.Satchel released two albums, "EDC" (1994) and "The Family" (1996). Most of "EDC"'s song titles were taken from the characters names in the cult classic movie "The Reservoir Dogs", one of the bands favorite movies.
Originally, Satchel also had a saxophone player named Jefferson Bennett when they called themselves 'Bliss'. This was until they were met with a copyright name challenge. They relenquished the name to a 'Bliss' out of Canada thereby settling on 'Satchel' at the same time eliminating the sax all together.
In early 1995, the bassist Cory Kane was replaced by Mike Berg because of personality conflicts. Eventually, Satchel had been folded into the band Brad with Stone Gossard and does not perform or record as Satchel any longer. In 2005, Brad released an album of previously unreleased tracks from both Satchel and Brad called "Brad vs. Satchel".
Satchel has their song 'Suffering' in the movies: Beautiful Girls, The Girl Next Door, and was on a One Tree Hill episode. Additionally, the song 'Walk in Freedom' can be heard in the movie Strange Days.
