THE REMIX LP GOES DIGITAL

As a prequel to the upcoming release of our second remix album, we've remastered the original vinyl-only "Remix LP" and added some bonus tracks.

Featuring mixes that were previously only available to DJs, "The Remix LP" has been expanded to include rare B-sides and mixes for this "Digital Only" version of the album.

YOU HEARD US ON YOUR TELEPHONE?
If you've been to our MySpace profile lately, you'll have noticed all sorts of cool little buttons for adding Moonlife ringtones and wallpaper to your cellphone. This is some cool new technology from Bango that lets you send items from the web to your phone. We were part of their demonstrations, so you can join the fun and try the links!

By the way, not every cellphone is supported as this is pretty new technology. European cellphones seem to have better luck than US ones, but you won't know until you try it for yourself.

Have fun!

LOTS MORE REVIEWS
This month we're seeing lots more reviews of our CD "Reach The Stars".

Here's one from Underground Press.:

And one from the wonderfully named The Wig Fits All Heads:
    'If Moonlife’s Reach the Stars doesn’t remind you of the deliriously happy (at least on the surface) keyboard-heavy alternative pop on Jim Keller’s "Resurrection Flashback Sunday" program on Seattle’s KNDD-FM, then you’re deaf. "I Heard You (On the Telephone)", with its insanely catchy, simple chorus and Atari 2600 bleeps, is the Buggles hit that never was. The nostalgia factor is high, and Moonlife takes you back, whether you like it or not, into the clubs.

    What’s shocking is that Reach the Stars is far more consistent than many of the records it owes its influences to. There are plenty more splendid tracks on here, for example, than on any of the LPs by Real Life and Re-Flex, and Q-Feel can’t hold a candle to these lads. "Can’t Stop" and "Angel" have the cozy feel of a high-school jacket that still fits and brings back memories.' - Karla Ash

    Click here for the full review at The Wig Fits All Heads.

And another from CD Reviews:
    'On Reach the Stars, Moonlife are dancing in heaven, utilizing layers of vintage New Romantic keyboard sounds to create their own form of orbital be-bop.

    To most music listeners in their thirties, Reach the Stars covers familiar terrain: the bouncy, electronic chorus of "I Heard You (On the Telephone)" recalls the Buggles’ "Video Killed the Radio Star"; "Cruel" is reminiscent of vintage New Order; and the other tracks reveal the influence of Erasure and Depeche Mode.

    Now Moonlife are caught in a Catch-22 – too commercial for the independent scene, too independent for the commercial scene. But with a group like the Bravery penetrating the mainstream with even more synthesizers and Duran Duran-styled vocal hooks, Moonlife is going to Reach the Stars eventually...' - Michael Sutton

STUDIO MOVE
Ah, the fun of moving! The piles of boxes... the lost equipment... the misplaced instruments... actually, it wasn't that bad, but we moved our studio to a slightly bigger location so we'll be getting back to work on the album as soon as we get plugged in again!


July 2005
NEW ALBUM NEWS AND SF SHOW
The new songs are coming along nicely! There's still a few weeks of studio work left before we finish the recordings, but we were asked to play a show in San Francisco so we decided to break out of the studio and play a few of the new songs to you:

NEW WAVE SHOW @ CHERRY BAR, SAN FRANCISCO
WHEN:
Friday, July 8, 2005 10pm
WHERE:
Cherry Bar, 917 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA.
INFO:
21+.
http://www.thecherrybar.com/
With Midnight Serenade, Kineto, Tokyo Rodeo, and Near Dark.

Come along and hang out with us in the cool "back room" of the Cherry Bar then tell us what you think of the new tunes! It's been too long since we played out, so we hope to see you there!

THANKS, WE THINK...
We're not sure what to make of this review of our CD "Reach The Stars". We think it's good, but this chap definitely seems hard to please!
    'These guys have had their fair share of poppy gothic leaning techno. They're routed firmly in the New Order frameset of music. It's not all bad, in fact "Angel" is probably as catchy and awesome as any 80's era techno outfit could manage to create. A lot of folks will cast this off as derivative and that's the falling point of this record; it's easily classifiable and certainly predictable but that doesn't make it any less fun.' - J-Sin

EMBRACE YOUR INNER WAVE (SHOES AND REVIEWS?)
Another great review of our CD "Reach The Stars" has just appeared online at Shotgun Reviews. Check out the great "shoe" rating that they use!
    'People seem to have a guilt complex when it comes to admitting a preference for certain ‘80s New Wave artists. Of course, this isn’t case with New Wave fans that have no problems with walking in public in a Depeche Mode T-shirt. But for the most part the synthesizer brotherhood from the NW family often gets tossed in the “guilty pleasures” category as if listening to Bronski Beat or the Human League is equal to watching Jerry Springer or downloading Asian porn. There’s nothing to be ashamed of, the electronic pop group Moonlife seem to be saying on their album cover, proudly garbed in glam and gothic threads that scream totally ‘80s (and also late ‘70s). Well, their self-confidence is understandable; you, too, would have your head up after releasing one of the year’s best albums.' - Kyrby Raine

MORE NEW REVIEWS
Two more reviews of our CD "Reach The Stars" have just appeared online.

    'Vintage synthesizers pour from the walls, creating a retro high-tech atmosphere that is impossible to resist if you spent your adolescence grooving to Erasure, Yaz and Depeche Mode. Track after track of keyboard-washed sublime pop; even the instrumental "Quarantine" is worthy of repeated spins. Moonlife carve dreamy textures, filling in the spaces with romantic crooning (best on the blue valentine "Cruel," which recalls Lloyd Cole, albeit with synthesizers) and lush, swishing keyboards. The utilization of both male and female vocals is a nice touch. There's a tinge of sadness to these songs, which has always been the New Wave style. "No More" serves as a woman's reaction to "Cruel," melancholy, rainy-day balladry with that loving '80s caress. This is an extraordinary disc, one that is nostalgic and entertaining from beginning to end.' - Kyrby Raine

    Click here for the full review.
    'Somebody must've shot through the fabric of reality, bolted into the '80s, and kidnapped Moonlife for today's consumption. Moonlife certainly do not long belong in this time period and bless them for that.

    ... bleeping synthesizers, ice-cube English vocals, sad-sack lyrics. Moonlife is a reminder of how those sounds are deeply missed.

    Avoiding the post-punk angle recently adopted by a flock of U.K. upstarts, Moonlife head straight to the computer room - or the nearest dance club. Pogo-inducing numbers such as "I Heard You (On The Telephone)" and "Can't Stop" would've been slobbered over by KROQ's Richard Blade back in the day.

    But it's not just about dancing in heaven for these 24 hour party people. "Cruel" is perhaps the finest love-will-tear-us-apart again ballad since Prefab Sprout's "When Love Breaks Down" in 1985.' - Barry Andrews

KSCU 103.3FM THIS FRIDAY
This coming Friday (20 May) we'll be making an appearance on KSCU 103.3FM (Santa Clara/San Jose CA) on DJ EO's "Dekadance 21st Anniversary Show". If you're in the area, tune in between 9pm and Midnight (PST) to hear us!

Dekadance KSCU

VIDEO GAME
A couple of our songs, plus some exclusive collaborations, will be appearing in a new video game that should be in the arcades later this year. It's a dance game, similar to the famous "Dance Dance Revolution", so get your dancing shoes on, grab a roll of quarters, and head down to the video arcade!

NEW UK REVIEW
Our last CD "Reach The Stars" has been getting noticed again and there are new reviews starting to appear! Here's one that just appeared in the UK:

    'Grunge may have killed the New Wave star, but it was only temporary. A line from a Stephen King short story perhaps summed it the best: sometimes they come back.

    And while the New Wave revival, headed from the Top of the Pops by the Killers and Franz Ferdinand, is no longer breaking news, Moonlife rocket into mostly synthetic waters that today's popular Neo acts have yet to fully plunge into. Shockingly, not only does Moonlife accurately rewind to mid-'80s club daze, they have recorded an album that can be held next to the finest from electro-pop heroes such as Soft Cell, Erasure, and the Pet Shop Boys.

    Rating: 9 stars'

NEW ALBUM UPDATE
The new songs are coming along very nicely and we're hoping to put out our third CD later this year. We'll be hitting the road again this summer so you'll get to hear the new songs together with your favourite Moonlife classics from the last two CDs. Look out for more news this summer!

MAY SHOWS
Ah yes, May, the month of skipping 'round the May Pole. At least, it was for Claudio when he was 6 and lived in the UK. But because there's a distinct lack of skipping and May Poles in California, we're bringing the fun to San Francisco and San Jose in our own special way...

RED DEVIL LOUNGE, SAN FRANCISCO
WHEN:
Monday, May 24, 2004 9pm
WHERE:
Red Devil Lounge, 1695 Polk St. @ Clay, San Francisco, CA.
INFO:

Cosmo magazine might not write about skipping 'round the May Pole, but they wrote about San Francisco's "Viv and a Movie" night at the Red Devil Lounge!

For those of you that have never been there, it's a sexy little venue with a great crowd and cool music. It can get packed pretty quickly there, so make sure you go to the website and pick up some advance tickets! Tickets are also available from members of Moonlife.

DEKADANCE 20th ANNIVERSARY LIVE SHOW, SAN JOSE
WHEN:
Sunday, May 30, 2004 8pm
WHERE:
The Blank Club, 44 S. Almaden Ave, San Jose, CA.
INFO:
http://www.deka-music.com/ - 21+. Dekadance KSCU Radio Show

Although DJ E.O. of Dekadance (KSCU) might never have skipped around the May Pole, he still has reasons to celebrate: It's his show's 20th anniversary and it's his birthday!

Claudio is also celebrating his birthday and doesn't want to steal DJ E.O.'s thunder but does want to steal a slice of cake.

This is our first show at San Jose's Blank Club, but we've heard lots of cool things about it. Again, tickets are available in advance although prezzies for Claudio are completely (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) optional. Ahem. Check out http://www.deka-music.com/ for ticket info.

DEPECHE MODE TRIBUTE REMIX
Lots of people love Depeche Mode, and our Claudio is no exception!

When California-based Color Theory asked Moonlife to remix a track from their "Color Theory presents Depeche Mode" CD, Claudio jumped at the chance and his "Funky Pleasure Mix" of "Here Is The House" is now their "Download Of The Month".

Check out the remix at:

http://www.11threcords.com/colortheory/news.html

Remember - it's only available for this month, so download it while you can!

MAY SHOWS
Look out for shows this month in San Francisco and San Jose!

Details are on our "Live" page at http://www.moonlife.com/live.



April 2004
SUMMER OF '79?
While going through my Dad's record collection we found an old vinyl 45 with an early recording of Angel by Moonlife. Recorded in 1979, it's a bit of a puzzle: Did Moonlife re-record this song for their 2003 album Reach The Stars, or will time-travel be discovered in time for them to go back to 1979 and record the original version?

[ Here's where the theme music to X-Files would play... ;-) ]


Go and decide the truth for yourself! We've uploaded the "Summer Of '79 Mix" of Angel onto our music page for you to check out!

We've just heard that our music video for "Over You" was voted the #1 video on Santa Cruz Local TV Channel's "The Chick Show". The video was entered into a competition that the show was running and a panel of voters on the show picked Moonlife as the winning entry. Hurrah! And congratulations also go to DV Betty who made our video possible. Thanks DV Betty!

We've found some new web space so we're finally able to offer all our free mp3's for you to download! Check out the new "Music" page on our website to download all those songs and remixes that went missing after mp3.com were taken over! Check out www.moonlife.com for those rare versions, live tracks and special remixes!

the song into sinister industrial territory while the "Redial Remix" by Some Stranger is made to shake the dancefloor. Check them out and let us know what you think!

XMAS SHOP TILL YOU DROP (SALE! SALE! SALE!)
It's shopping frenzy time again! Yep, it's that time of the year when you sit on Santa's lap and ask him if his beard is really real while all the shops try to entice you to buy lots of goodies. So, who are we to miss out on all the fun?

This month we are DROPPING ALL PRICES of Moonlife merchandise on our website. Get the latest Moonlife album, and a lot more, for prices that'll have the RIAA crying for months. Oh wait, they already do that.


Click the "Merch" link above. This sale ENDS on Christmas Day!


GOODBYEEEEEEE... MP3.COM

MP3.com closed its site yesterday at noon. Some might say good riddance after the way that Universal/Vivendi ran the site after purchasing it a year ago. But even with its newly acquired corporate attitude, mp3.com continued to be a community of independent artists unlike any other. It was huge and well-interconnected in a way that introduced us to bands all over the world that we would never have heard of otherwise, not to mention gaining us a few fans in far off places who would never have encountered us any other way. We'll miss it.


WHAT DO WE WANT FOR XMAS?

Claudio would like to be able to walk for Christmas, or at least enough money to buy a bionic leg. Cassaundra wants world peace and shiny high heels (not necessarily in that order). Bill wants a robot servant with laser-beam eyes and some mince pies for it to serve. And lastly, we all want you to enjoy our music, so download as much free music as you can and buy as many cheap items off our site as you can! Hurrah!

CLAUDIO INJURED IN MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT
Moonlife singer Claudio was in a motorcycle accident last thursday, in which he suffered a broken ankle. He's currently recovering, but will need to be off his feet for a few weeks.


We would like to apologize to our fans for having to cancel our show at the Gaslighter thursday night. Claudio assures me that he would much rather have been there than in the emergency room at SF General.


Being the trooper that he is, Claudio is still hoping to perform at the Castro St Halloween street festival in SF on friday night. We'll keep you posted.


After that though, Moonlife will be taking a few weeks off from live performance while Claudio gets himself back on two feet.

IT'S BEEN QUIET... TOO QUIET
What's the latest news about the strangely absent moonlife? Have they been abducted? Are they trapped in a space-time rift forever reliving Groundhog Day over and over again? Or have they just been watching too many b-movies?

None of the above! We've been hard at work in the studio putting our finishing touches on the forthcoming second album, titled "Reach The Stars"! Soon you'll be able to take home your very own shiny silver disc and enjoy the full stereophonic sensation of songs like "I Heard You (On The Telephone)", "Can't Stop", "Angel" and the haunting "Failing".

OVER AND OVER AND OVER YOU

A wise man once said "I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough!" and, even though The Gap used those solemn words in an advert, who are we to argue?

"Over You" The new "Double Oh Deux" remix:
"Over You" The music video:
"Over You" The original "album version":

We know that MP3.COM ask you to enter an email address to listen to online music, so feel free to enter someone else's address! We recommend entering "support@mp3.com" as they're such lovely people. No really.

LIVING ON VIDEO 
Seeing is believing! The latest sighting of the universe's most glamourous synthpop band can be downloaded from:

http://169.237.227.235/mlvid/overyou.avi

This music video for the song "Over You" was shot earlier this year and features Claudio, Bill and Cassaundra at their glittery best. Why so long for a video, you ask? Well the first music video "Moon Life (Out Of Reach)" was shot back in 2000 but the director ran off with the footage! After that came the promo shoot for San Francisco's Indie Film Fest in which Claudio and Bill can be seen rocking with Blue Period to their version of Queen's "We Will Rock You". Although being shown in cinemas across San Francisco in 2001 the promo's director moved to New York and deleted the master tapes! Finally, after top-secret negotiations with DVbetty.com, Moonlife were able to thwart the "curse of the dodgy video director" and shoot a music video for "Over You".

If you're in San Diego or area - we NEED YOUR HELP! This is a tickets-only event at Club Xanth and we need to sell at least 30 tickets to cover our trip down there. We're not paid by the club so we need to sell tickets ourselves to pay for the trip. Tickets are $7 and are available by email from us. Simply drop an email to "info@moonlife.com" telling us your name and how many tickets for the show you want. We'll put the tickets at the door on the day of the show for you, and you can pay for them right there. As an added bonus, any fan who buys a ticket to this show direct from us will get a
discount on moonlife merchandise, a free gift and gets to hang out with Claudio, Bill and Cassaundra after the show! Email now! - Operators are standing by! :-)
