In November, local band Hitting My Dad hit a wall and broke up. However, 80 percent of the band has re-formed, now calling themselves Sellout Satellite (a euphemism for MTV), and they’re ready to tell their long story.

Hitting My Dad’s final lineup consisted of singer Isaac Norman, drummer Sam Barnes, guitarist and senior in computer engineering Jon Soike, bassist Tony Buss and guitarist Jeremy Shulz.

Lineup changes plagued the band’s past, with trumpet players coming and going, other guys named Tony, instrument-swapping and other such shenanigans.

But it wasn’t the personnel changes that caused the breakup, the members of S.O.S. say — it was one particular person.

“Hitting My Dad was really [Norman’s] baby,” Shulz says.”His complaint was always, like, ‘Certain things never fit.’ Well, actually, what it was was he just didn’t fit with the rest of us.”

Shulz says the band needed a “regime change,” in the parlance of the times.

“It didn’t really end on good terms,” Shulz says.

“Isaac is kind of doing his own thing now. He’s living in Fort Dodge. We don’t really keep much contact with him.”

But Shulz says the break was necessary.

“[Norman] was focusing more on the shows and the audience,” Shulz says. “We wanted to focus more on the music.”

The re-formed members are now practicing in a space above the Bali Satay House, 2424 Lincoln Way, care of the One Stop Band Shop’s Justin Means.

Though unheated, unlit and lacking a bathroom, the price is right.

“We get this place for only 50 bucks a month,” Buss says, looking at the walls, which are scantily decorated with “A Clockwork Orange” poster, “Easy Rider” sticker and a “To-Do” list.

In addition to items “Sell out,” “Have better things to do than write a list” and “Sell out again,” there’s an entry reading “Work on bladder control. You guys know what I’m saying, hint hint, nudge nudge.”

“I peed my pants once,” Shulz says.

“I’ve been pissing in a paint can in a closet,” adds Buss, senior in transportation and logistics.

Item one on the list says simply, “Sell the bus,” referring to the 1981 Chevy school bus the band purchased back in the Hitting My Dad days.

The members painted the bus “prison gray,” tore out the seats and converted it into a touring/tailgating machine.

They’re asking only $500 for the behemoth, which “runs — moderately.”

Members say they are in the early stages of songwriting. They have six or seven song ideas and are working on lyrics, all of which seem to be about sex, drugs and death.

“If it’s not about those things, it’s not worth writing about,” Shulz says.

Buss says the plan is to begin playing shows by the end of the school year and to be in full swing by the start of the fall semester.

“We’re not playing any shows now, but we’re all happy,” he says. “Before we were playing lots of shows, but it wasn’t any fun.”
