Chris Real & The Others

Christofur. Fucking. Real.

About Me

'Allo.Chris Real here....Now that you've caught your breath, we can continue. :-)I like to play guitar, I like to sing, I love/live to write songs. Over the course of the past few years, I've been seen performing with several bands. -another wave-, B*!*L*F, SuperJuice, and the odd solo thing.I write 'cuz it's cheaper than therapy... plus how else would Stephanie know that I hated the way she answered her cel phone all the time when we were talking on her land line if I didn't write?I put this site up as a home for some of my 'kitchen demos'... it's me, a cheap mic, and a cheaper acoustic guitar... enjoy the songs, get a feel for them, but forgive the sound quality...These songs will eventually be transformed into rock n' roll awesomeness, either on the next SuperJuice disc, or on a solo record I'm working on to kill time before my SuperJuice partner in crime Jai Mo returns from sabatical in Winnipeg.For now, it's as bare bones as it comes.Perhaps one day Butch Walker will stumble across this site and give a listen and say 'I wanna produce that shit'. I would let him. Maybe he and Ric Ocasek could be a production team and help take me to new heights of rock superstardom and... shit, the meds have kicked in.I better go lay down...Piece (sic)CFR

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/10/2007
Band Members: The project I'm calling 'Chris Real & The Others' is called that because the record is going to feature cameos from a multitude of friends I've been lucky enough to make during my time as a 'professional' musician. Of course it will feature the B*!*L*F boys and the SuperJuice guys, but the list certainly doesn't end there. I want everyone I know... check that, everyone I know and RESPECT in on it... there is some amazing talent in our little music scene, it'll be incredible fun to have so many creative minds helping me, and of course, it should translate into a few more copies in circulation. :-)
Influences: The holy trinity: The Cars/Ric Ocasek - Elvis Costello - The Replacements/Paul Westerberg ::::::::: Other than that, the list includes Redd Kross - Guns n' Roses - Billy Idol - Bowie - Bolan - Soul Asylum - Placebo - Butch fucking Walker - The Sex Pistols - Steve Earle - R.E.M. - OLP - The Black Halos - Robin Black - Todd Kerns/AOE - Zuckerbaby (fuck Canadian rock n' roll kicks ass) There are other bands I love, of course, but these are the 'influences'. Oh wait, I'm also influenced by Molsons, Jack Daniels, Jose Cuervo, (and basically all of aisle 5 at the liqour store) and casual sex.
Sounds Like: That remains to be seen... at this time, it sounds like a dude making bad recordings with an acoustic guitar using *software name censored*... that should prob'ly change.Check out B*I*L*F Rocks! Click Image below!

Low Tolerance Guy (please read this before listening to the song) :-)

When I first started as a songwriter, like most people I suppose, my main concern was finding chords that worked together and put words that rhymed over them. Anyone that's been around for my entire ...
