Well as promised..
here is it..
The band is called A Life of Riley.
They describe themselves as a central Jersey band that play acoustic rock/pop/indie/jazz/emo, or at least something similar. They have been playing since high school....
I find it interesting that the members are at different colleges at the moment.. and still find time to get together to play.(at least that is what it says on their My SpacePage)
I contacted the band hoping that I could verify some facts. but I have not heard from them as of yet..so please excuse me if I don't have the members names correct.. or even if they are current.
the band consists of
Scottpercussion, Mitchguitar, Noahvocals, Rahulguitar, Ryanbass, Jackkeyboards/vocals, Briantrumpet, Kevinsaxophone, Zachsaxophone
I was combing the sites.. and came across this band.
I have a soft spot for acoustic bands..so I immediately started listening to them.
I like their lyrics and the tone of the songs..
They have a lot of energy.. and it translates in their music..
So as usual.. I went to their web site.. but it looks as though it has not been updated in a long time.. (too bad the site looks good.) I kept looking around.. and I came across a clip of them on You Tube playing a gig at the Bitter End (a club in the Village.. NYC) Its hard to tell on a You Tube clip.. but it made me see that I would love to see them live,,

I am hoping that A Life Of Riley will join this site soon.. and perhaps upload some of their music.
In the meantime you can hear them at alifeofrileymusic.com.. or at
Maybe send them a note and tell them about Artist Harvest..
I already have. ..
Perhaps if they get LOTS of requests to join, they will pop over...
I would love to hear their music here..
My favorites are.. "60 Days" "Every Time" and "A Lazy Sunday"
So give them a listen.. and if you like them.. let them know!!
Ok.. that's it for tonight..
I am a little tired.. and its killing me..
I have the new Counting Crows Cd that came today.. and all I want to do if listen..
of course.. if I pop it in now.. I will certainly fall asleep.. and I think that would be rude..
Adam and the boys deserve my full attention!!!!
I am excited to hear the Cd.. I am a big fan of theirs.. which by the way..
The Counting Crows are listed as one of A Life If Rileys influences.... (anyone see a pattern? )
Well ..
I'll be back in a day or two..
Hope you'll here!!!
