reily is the creation of dave and grant who spend tuesday evenings and sunday mornings making delicious little pop ditties in a detached garage they've turned into a studio in greenlake (a district of Seattle- home to all things good and right).
their first record, Track Stars & The Headphone Magnificence, is an exercise in melodic excess peppered with lyrics of love lost, love found and just plain love. recorded solely by the duo over the past year in a 9 x 12 foot room, Dave & Grant play every instrument featured with the miracle of ProTools (something neither of them had any experience with) and $350 worth of microphones.

Hey, next week (or next month), you should let me come over and cook for you (do you like thai or indian?). It's been a couple of years, so I'll be rusty, but it's the least I can do since you gave me the CD. Thanks ever so much!
I was at your show, I pulled a Will. I. Am hologram trick but it malfunctioned as my image was beemed behind the left stage monitor. Don't know if you saw me. My audio may have been muted, too, so if you didnt hear me giving you props that would be why.
Good to see you are playing again, BLAH! Come to Bellingham and destroy one of it's lovely music venues, Blah! Pack your own lunch, the BBQ here is terrible, Blah!
Reily, I very much enjoyed your show! You guys have a raw, old-school sound that's wonderful. Dug your keys and vocals, Dave... and loved the sweet guitar tones, Garfunkel:)
XO,
Garrett
p.s. I also enjoyed the drunk guy pushing you aside, Dave, during the performance as he searched futilly for the bathroom.
Hey my friend Arepihegq thinks you are cute and wants you to finish the new Reily album before hell freezes over! Her msn is eojeg[ojegq[ojg@msn.com!!!
"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget." *Arundhati Roy*
I will be taking part in the PF reunion...too bad you won't be there. Our first rehearsal was hilarious, I actually remembered a lot of the songs, some things are just too good to forget!
Hello Grant! Yeah, I'm also asking him to update that blog...But I think he's been busy meeting new people or something. Apparently, he's replacing you and me with those asian massagers...
