For Immediate Release IZZ Bassist/Songwriter/Vocalist, John Galgano, To Release Debut Solo Album on September 11, 2012 August 29, 2012 – New York, NY – Doone Records is pleased to announce the release of Real Life is Meeting, the debut solo album by John Galgano. John Galgano is a founding member of art-rock group, IZZ, and has been one of the band’s primary songwriters throughout its career. Real Life is Meeting presents eight tracks varying in styles and instrumentation, from the catchy, art-pop flavor of “Bigger on the Inside,” to the experimental, synth-based “The Only Thing,” to the 19-minute piece “1000,” all the while taking the listener in unexpected directions. Real Life is Meeting showcases Galgano’s humor, his introspective and confessional lyrics, and his surprising song structures. In turns breathtakingly adventurous and heartrendingly beautiful, this music represents a musician and songwriter unencumbered by any preconceived ideas. The result is a fluid, naked, and daring collection of universal musings set to music - meditations on what it means to be human in the 21stcentury. Galgano also recently played bass on Renaissance keyboardist Jason Hart’s new release, I and Thou’s Speak. Galgano has performed with IZZ at many art-rock festivals in the United States and Canada and has played bass for Hart while serving as the opening act during two Marillion Weekends (2007, 2011). The line-up for Real Life is Meeting is: John Galgano: Bass guitar, vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards Laura Meade: Vocals Paul Bremner: Electric guitar solos on “The Only Thing” and “Look Around” Brian Coralian: Drums on “Lucky for Me” and “1000” Greg DiMiceli: Drums on “This is How it Happens” Shawn Bishop: Backing vocals, keyboards, percussion John Raimondo: Drums on “Bigger on the Inside,” “The Only Thing” and “Look Around” Chris Baldini: Lead vocals on “Look Around” Greg Meade: Electric guitar solo on “Lucky for Me” Mixed and Produced by Shawn Bishop Mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer John Shyloski For more information on Real Life is Meeting and for the most updated information about John Galgano and IZZ, please visit: http://www.facebook.com/johngalganomusic" rel="nofollow - www.facebook.com/ twitter: @johngalmusic http://www.izznet.com/" rel="nofollow - www.izznet.com http://www.facebook.com/izzmusic" rel="nofollow - www.facebook.com/izzmusic twitter: @izzmusic http://www.facebook.com/laurameademusic" rel="nofollow - www.facebook.com/ Real Life is Meeting will be available for purchase at Amazon, iTunes and all online music retailers.

Update, 12th Sept 2012 (via Izz on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/izzmusic%29:" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/izzmusic): John Galgano's solo album "Real Life is Meeting" is available everywhere today, including iTunes, Amazon.com and loads of other vendors. Here's what Larry Kolota at Kinesiscd.com has to say about it: "John has been one of IZZ’s primary songwriters, and Real Life Is Meeting is every bit as proggy as IZZ, but with a more personal feel, more warmth and heart energy. Hard to imagine an IZZ fan that wouldn’t cherish this album too, since it seems to be the soul of IZZ that is on display. We wouldn’t change a thing about it."  |
