As singer, and half of the electro-rock band God Lives Underwater, David Reilly spent the 90's as a producer, recording, and touring artist. He and partner Jeff Turzo were recognized by d.j. and eventual manager Gary (destructo) Richards via Josh Wink. God lives Underwater were first signed by Rick Rubin (slayer, public enemy, beastie boys, system of a down) to American Recordings (at signing was still known as "def american").. American went on to release GLU's debut EP and album "Empty", both emblazened with "executive producer Rick Rubin", spawned minor radio and club hits "No More Love" and "All Wrong", the former as a single from a Keanu Reeves film known as "Johnny Mneumonic".GLU management Gary Richards then took a label deal with parent company A&M, and released a new Glu album amongst others under the "1500" moniker such as David Holmes, Ugly Duckling, and Jeff Turzos solo electronic EP titled "Mass Hystereo" (now quite a collectors item). The label formed with A&M was originally to be called "NITRUS", After rounds of talks with GLU, Richards, and Richards then partner, an L.A. promoter, "NITRUS" became "1500 records". "life in the so-called space-age", their first AND last 1500 /A&M release, spawned a "size-able" radio hit, "From your Mouth". The single enjoyed play on alternative rock stations and MTV alike, and saw the band to continue hitting the road for several years. In addition to his extensive repertoire as a writer and vocalist, David is a multi-instrumentalist and producer with extensive synthesis/sampling knowledge, and with his GLU partner Jeff Turzo, stayed busy with other production and remix projects, including remixes for Skinny Puppy, Rob Zombie, and Messiah. Glu and Richards also organized and contributed to 1998's "For the Masses: A Tribute To Depeche Mode", which featured tracks from Deftones, Smashing Pumpkins, Failure, The Cure and Monster Magnet. 1999-2003 brought God Lives covering David Bowies "fame" for the film "15 minutes", the death of Davids Fiance Seven in a train accident, the bankruptcy/merger of a&m, the bankruptcy of the company riffage, who had taken control of 1500 and the album by GLU to be called "up off the floor", and the Marriage of Jeff Turzo.
