Perry Farell’s outer-worldly project Satellite Party has undergone more lineup changes, MTV.com reports. Ex-Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt has left the band, releasing the statement, “I have always been uncomfortable with the direction of the lineup and live show.” We suppose nonsensically creepy lyrics (On “Wish Upon a Dogstar,” Farell chants, “Yeah we can celebrate our inner horizon / We can activate our Christ teach, too / Oh it'll be fun!”) might also have something to do with it.

The split appears to be an amicable one, though. “I wish Perry Farrell and any musician that remains on the tour all the best,” Bettencourt said. Still, it sounds like someone is expecting others to jump Farrell’s spaceship as he and drummer Kevin Figg did.

Replacements for Bettencourt and Figg have been found in Silvertide’s Nick Perri and Jordan Plosky, respectively. Fun fact: sexy stickman Plosky used to drum for Ryan Cabrera. Now the Party can really get started.
