1st 2010
Had
a great time playing in Vegas the other week with a great
road trip there and back. I'm recording a song with a couple
of Swiss DJ's, a very cool house track and I'm doing a show
here in Melbourne on November 6th at the Burvale Hotel with
Scott Carne, Brian Mannix and Sean Kelly. It will be fun..
July
1st 2010
A
guy from the USA who goes by the name of Inversephase has
made an interesting cover of Angel. It's a chiptune meaning
it's made using sounds from old computers and video games.
There's a vibrant scene for people making this charming Lo-Tek
style music all over the net, so here's LINK.

George
has another fine solo album out under his Alien Skin monicker.
If you enjoyed his last effort, you'll love this. Here's a
LINK.
In
the next few weeks most of our catalogue will be available
as downloads from most I-Tunes type distributors. Heartland,
our first album currently only available on CD from Australia
will be digitally available soon.
Flame our rather crappy second album will be downloadable
only.
Unfortunately Lifetime, our third album on Curb records containing
the singles God Tonight and Kiss the Ground, I don't have
the rights to, but you may find it on E-Bay. It's a good one..
Happy our fourth album will now be available digitally.
Happier is all the songs of Happy re-mixed will beavailable
digitally.
Imperfection our fifth album is available on CD via our website
and will be available digitally.
Imperfection Remixed (like Happier) will only be available
digitally.

What
time is it? Well if you want to know check out the beautiful
"Send Me an Angel" watch from Swiss company AleXora,
who have released a collection of watches inspired by eighties
songs. We're very happy to be part of this fine collection.

Another
year goes by. Best wishes to all our friends. Hope to see
you somewhere on tour in the new year. Working on lots of
new songs for some sort of release in 2010. Also making some
out of print albums available via I-tunes etc.

Not
a lot to report, just posted a link to Cleopatra Records for
the covers album. It's on the buy Cd's page. They also have
a vinyl version, but with a few less tracks. No word on any
international touring for the rest of the year at this stage.
Happily staying home trying to remember how to write songs.

5th 2009
According
to Cleopatra Records' website, Real Life's 80's synth essentials
will be released on 19th of May.
The
track listing is:
Send
Me an Angel, Sweet Dreams, Cars, Fade to Grey, Everything
Counts, Blue Monday, Primary, Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime,
Shout, Nowhere Girl, I Melt With You, Tainted Love, The Model.
I'll
post a link when one becomes available.
Earlier
this year there was a request for a Real Life remix from German
Artist Sara Noxx.
Sara has a new album out and on the track Superior Love, she
duets with Mr Limahl from Kajagoogoo. I think the remix will
be a special bonus mix at some stage in the future.
Not
much else happening at the moment, heading to Bali for a couple
of weeks to work on some new songs. There may be some touring
around October, but nothing confirmed yet.
March
6th 2009
Happy
New Year. Well, here's what's happening. All touring has been
postponed due to the global financial crisis. Mexico and Greece
may be rescheduled later in the year. The
cover album is done and in the hands of Cleopatra Records.
They are obtaining clearance from various publishers of the
13 songs covered. As soon as I know the release date I'll
let you know.
In
the meantime I've been re-mixing a track for a very cool German
artist, Sara Noxx. Her song Superior Love is a duet with the
great Limahl from Kajagoogoo and should be out early April.
Check out Sara's Myspace here.
Well,
now that I've got nothing to do for a while, I'm going to
get on with some new music at last. Hope all is well with
you.

Xmas
and New Years greetings to all. A big thanks to everyone who
came to shows in the USA, Philippines, Berlin and Lima. On
Valentines Day 2009 I get to visit Greece for the first time
for a show in Athens with my buddies When In Rome and The
Seagulls. The next stop is Tijuana Mexico on the 21st and
22nd of March. I have finally finished the covers album for
Cleopatra records. As soon as it's mastered it will be off
to the manufacturer and I'll post a track listing and release
date when all is confirmed. Please remember if you're posting
messages on the Real Life My-Space sites, that they are not
controlled by Real Life, therefore we can't respond, but thanks
anyway. It's been an unforgetable year with some great high's
and a very big low. Let's hope we can all do something to
make the world a better place in 2009....... Cheers.

I highly recommend the Pisco Sour at Hotel Gran Bolivar Lima........

Wow
time flies. It's time to cross the big pond to the USA for
some supersize burgers and a show
or two. If you want to say hello, I always head to the merchandise
table for a while after my set. I've nearly finished that
cover album. Doing the final mixes. Just need a little more
time after the tour. Then finally now that I've almost mastered
Logic Pro, I can get on with some new stuff.

Firstly
congratulations to George on his fine album. If you haven't
had a listen yet then follow the links bellow.
Well
I'm back from another big adventure in the US, Germany and
the Philipines. Big thanks to When In Rome for backing me
again and Mr Jesse Cambosa our promoter in the Philipines.
Also thank you Wulf Bock for getting me on a TV show in Berlin
with Robin Gibb(true musical royalty). Hopefully Wulf is booking
some European dates for the future. Also thanks to all who
came to the shows. Great fun as usual. So, I'm back at work
on the covers album. I tried out one of the tracks (B-Movie's
Nowhere Girl) on the tour and it went down a storm. There
are already some dates listed for the US, Mexico and Peru
for August on the Pollstar link below. I need a few more shows
to make the trip worthwhile, so keep your fingers crossed
and hassle the shit out of my agent.

A
big HI! this is George writing to announce the release of
my new album 'DON'T OPEN TILL DOOMSDAY' under the name ALIEN
SKIN. I invite you to visit my website www.alienskinmusic.com,
have a listen and a look around. The album is a step away
from Real Life, but still continues my personal musical leanings.
It will be distributed by, and available online from, A Different
Drum; CDBaby, & locally, Chaos music. As ALIEN
SKIN , my newly-born MySpace page has no friends
so it's eager to meet some. Make it's day for me:) You'll
find it via my website.
David
has been busily working on and will be releasing his own album
of covers shortly, which we're all looking forward to, and
is embarking on a five week international tour in a couple
of days. So, if you get the chance to see him perform some
Real Life classics live, I urge you to do so!!
Thank
you,
George

Happy
New Year to one and all...... Here's the news. I'll be back
in thev USA at the end of March playing with When in Rome
at the Anaheim, San diego and Hollywood House of Blues. Please
note at these shows I do 6 Eighties Real Life songs with When
In Rome backing me. I'm then heading to Berlin to record a
TV show before returning to the US for a show in Pheonix folowed
by one night in Mexico City (Can't wait for that one!). In
August I'll be playing The New
Wave Festival in Lima Peru.
Check this Pollstar
link for dates and times. I've got about 8 tracks (out of
12) recorded but as yet unmixed for the covers album requested
by Cleopatra records and my priority is to get that finished
ASAP. I'm sure there will be some local gigs with Pseudo Echo
and Dale Ryder coming up soon too. Take care....
October
3rd 2007
Well
I survived the US/Mexico tour as a special guest of When in
Rome. They are great guys and I'll be back in the US with
them next March for another run of dates at the House of Blues.
With much regret we had to cancel our show in Lima Peru as
the venue was destroyed in the recent earthquake. I really
loved my time off in Mexico City where I visited Frida Kahlo
and Leon Trotsky's houes, saw Diego's beautiful murals and
climbed Teotiuhuacan's amazing pyramids. And all that great
food....
Cleopatra
Records in Los Angeles have commissioned me to make an album
of cover songs of my own choice. I'm hoping it will be out
in time for the tour next March. Hmmm let'see how many of
my favourite shower songs I can murder... Take care.
