For Satellite Citi, spending a night on stage at Hollywood's infamous Whisky-a-Go-Go with a spacesuit-clad guitarist and bass player is just business as usual. Originally, husband and wife Anna and Shaunt Sulahian started Satellite Citi as a duo—Anna on drums and vocals, and Shaunt on lead guitar. As they evolved, their story-filled music videos paired with a solid rock foundation kept their fan base coming back for more. Today, they're known for continuously pushing boundaries as an independent project.

In today's episode, Marilyn chats with Anna and Shaunt about the origin story of the band, how they filmed and edited their own stop-motion music video, and how mental health impacts their view of the music industry.
