Real Lives

People hearing REAL LIVES say they hear a lot

of influences from many top Rock groups

of the 70's & 8Os. They like the fact that

the debut CD "Dysfunctional Paradise" deals

with many different issues regarding human

behavior and the state of the world today.

During the first week of the band's songs

being offered online at SoundClick,

the first songs uploaded by REAL LIVES

shot up the Rock and Roll sub-genre charts.

Marked by SoundClick's listeners, as Hits

with "Hot icons." 1 week later they rose

to the Top Ten, and continued floating.

The band was and is gratefully blown away

by such, because it all happened quite by

surprize. It goes to show that if something

is good and has something to say, people will

find it or pass it along. The Internet is such

a great tool for artist these days!

Thanks again to all who dig what we are about.

The players in the band paid dues in a

number of bands over the years. Homebase

was on the outskirts of Providence in

Rhode Island, the infamous club, now gone

but not forgotten, that was turned into an

inferno by the band Great White's pyro show.

THE STATION nightclub was like a home gig

since years ago when it was originall called Cracker-Jacks.

The record release party would have been

there for all those who supported us.

The worst disaster in Rock's history,

on 2-20-03, was witnessed by the world on TV.

The Great White Fire, as it should be known,

because after all, the club wasn't on fire

when the openner left the stage, but let's

not get into this still very sore subject at

this juncture...

The Fire...claimed many of our friends

including Tina "Blackie" Ayer, who was

to tour with us as a theatrical dancer/

/background singer. Our DJ pal from 94HJY

Michael Gonsalves-The Doctor-Dr.Metal

was also a friend, who along with GW's

Ty Longley sacrificed their lives breaking

windows and helping others escape, rather

than evacuating out the backstage door.

The album's dedicated to our friends

now on the other side, and to all victims

who we hope get strong enough to see themselves

as survivors of this Dysfunctional Paradise

and the tragedies that take place here.

We all paid dues in both original/cover bands,

and tribute bands all over the New England area.

Some toured the East coast in many of these.

We are planning shows with a number of

interested promoters for gigs in both the

U.S. and abroad. We might be appearing with

a few well known acts who really liked what

they heard so far from REAL LIVES.

When guys with big hits under their belts,

who we all admire for their talent and

music, like your music, it really knocks us

off our feet, leaving us all feeling not worthy.

Sponsors and promoters are currently being lined up and it all looks very cool and promising.

Enjoy the music, and get ready for,

a concert to remember, at a city near you.

Email us anytime, and we urge all to join

our Mailing List, so we can update you.

Write us about the coolest Rock Venues in

your area and we'll try to get out there.

Turn on your stereo and tune in a good Classic Rock radio station. Then listen to that station

for about a month and make a list of all the songs and artist that rock your socks off.

Those are our influences. Sorry to be a wise ass

but if we tried to list them all, we'd surely end

up leaving many we forgot about, out.

To this day, people hear a song and tell us it reminds them of a band we never thought about when we recorded the song in question. It's always something different. One guy hears KISS,

while another says Guns and Roses, another says

NO ALICE COOPER, another says Extreme, etc...

One person told me Marching on reminded them of

Allman Bros. I was confused and said really???

Most people identify the guitars of that song with classic BOSTON styles while others says the vocal reminds them of Living Colour. Go figure?

A guitarist pal of mind says people hear different things in new music and I guess he is right because the comments we hear are always of

different groups from the past.

It's a well gaurded secret. Listen to the songs and then tell me. If you guess correctly I'll

let you know.I like to joke around and make

people smile.

The song Heaven's Light (Tina's Song) is for all who know the pain of losing a friend or a

loved one. We ask if you take this song we offer

freely, that you "on your honor" send a doantion

to THE STATION FIRE MEMORIAL FOUNDATION to help build the memorial to all those who crossed over

from THE STATION NIGHT CLUB Fire on 2/20/03.

We ask you send $2.20 to help build the memorial

for the people who crossed during this awful fire

witnessed by the world for days on global TV.

You can mail your $2.20 to:

The Station Fire Memorial Foundation

PO Box 513

Coventry, RI 02816

or you can go here to use a debit or c.c.

to make the donation online and save a stamp.
