There was a bust-up later in 1986 and guitarist Sutherland exited to Australia. Singer-songwriter Loveys recruited a replacement and continued until his band folded in 1988. At the same time, Sutherland trademarked the Satellite Spies name, returning in the 1990s with the NZ Top 10 single, ‘It Must Be Love’.
‘Destiny In Motion’ producer Tim Palmer went on to produce and mix albums by Robert Plant, Ozzy Osbourne, U2, Pearl Jam and David Bowie’s Tin Machine, while engineer Chris Sheldon produced and mixed albums by Foo Fighters, Garbage, Pixies and Jeff Beck.
Since his Satellite Spies days, Mark Loveys is the co-founder and original developer of business management and accounting software Exonet aka MYOB EXO.
In 2015, Deane Sutherland’s son Lewis Tiller was selected to play for English Premier League soccer club West Ham United’s under-18 squad after trials in Auckland.
