The Movielife

The Movielife is a Long Island punk rock band composed of vocalist Vinnie Caruana, guitarist Brandon Reilly, and drummer Brett Romnes.

The Movielife formed in 1997 in Long Island, New York[3] with vocalist Vinnie Caruana, guitarists Alex Amiruddin and Eddie Reyes, bassist Nick Ghanbarian and drummer Evan Baken.

[11] The band recorded their second album with producer Brian McTernan at Salad Days Studio in Washington, DC.

[18] Instead, the Movielife supported Reel Big Fish and Goldfinger again for a handful of shows in September and October 2001.

[5] Amiruddin explained that he "grew disenchanted with the new direction of the music, and my friendships with the other guys in the band suffered for various reasons".

[33] In April, Baken got in a van accident, which resulted in the band drafting a friend in to temporarily fill his role in time for a UK tour.

[35] The band went on The Made Tour, which ran from June to August; they played alongside Further Seems Forever, Autopilot Off, and Anberlin.

Dan Navetta founded Heavy Rescue and a media company, while Baken worked in business management.

[45] On December 16, 2010, a video was posted on Caruana's YouTube account featuring himself and Reilly, announcing that the Movielife will be playing at The Bamboozle in New Jersey, marking their first performance in almost 8 years.

[47] Caruana and Reilly re-connected as friends and shortly afterwards began talking about a potential the Movielife reunion.

The band subsequently began rehearsing in December 2014,[47] performing their first shows since 2011 in New York City at Irving Plaza in February 2015.

[47] The Movielife performed several additional shows in the US later in the year,[3] including an appearance at Today's Mixtape Festival,[48] as well as a tour of the UK in June.
