A scene out of our lives.....the songs of Alive Day bring you back and take you somewhere new and unexplored. Their debut album "Blindsided By Hope" is now completed. Alive Day began in 2006 and has been writing and performing ever since. Dan Arrecis, lead singer, guitar player, and songwriter has put together a powerful and moving debut. Drummer Matt Baumann, guitarist/songwriter Brian Unger, and bassist Dan Boehne along with a wonderful cast of supporting musicians bring a dynamic energy that takes the music from its beautiful simplicity and turn it into band with color, identity, and authority!!
Alive Day currently engages audiences by performing in venues throughout Chicago while increasingly expanding their regional, national, and international exposure. This modern rock band speaks to audiences with their songs of shared experiences while engaging and challenging our changing times. Every listen to "Sparkle and Shimmer" or "Drifting" tells a different story with every play..and with melodies that keep you singing and moving with their pure rock energy!!

Welcome to my music world! I appreciate you being among my circle of friends. Each and every space tells a story about someone and their lives in music or interests. I'm a music critic for two magazines as well as MySpace. The spaces are more interesting to me as they give me a wider range of music talent and sounds to listen to or review. Each individual band has something to give here and most will give you their stories on their profiles, some long, some short but all are stories just the same. I am proud to have you on my space. You are welcome there anytime as things change often. Videos, Music and Art. Again, I appreciate your request! I hope we can stay in touch.
The aim of music, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily. No great work has ever been based on hatred and contempt. On the contrary, there is not a single true work of music that has not in the end added to the inner freedom of each person who has known and loved it.
Hi Alive Day! Thanks so much for the invite :) Glad to have you as a new friend! Great tunes here, hope to hear from you soon :) Peace from Canada, Kharen ;)
