Band Members: Renee Caesar - Vocal / guitar Jamie Barlow - Bass / drums
Over on the dark side of the moon the rumours have began to swell. Jamie oozes an appetite for destruction as he plays his bass under the skies of purple rain. His uncanny yet supernatural knack on the drums struck an unheard chord building a tapestry of hysteria. Enter Renee. A jagged little pill of feminine randomness – her vocals addictively-educed with a lonely-hearts club attitude. Together under the joshua tree the duo begin to see parallel lines. Their sound the only element needed to build a bridge over troubled water. What’s the story, morning glory? Nevermind. This is Private Life.

A coed group including the Blackfoot, Rick Derringer, Axis, Rod Steward and Alcatrazz credited guitarist Danny Johnson. PRIVATE LIFE arose from a project put together by Johnson with vocalist Kelly Breznik. The pair had worked together in a band previously. Johnson and Breznik were joined by Johnson's ex-Axis and Rod Steward band colleague Jay Davis on bass, erstwhile Badfinger drummer Lenny Campanaro and a keyboard player by the name of Jennifer Blakeman.
Blakeman had played with Breznik in previous incarnations of PRIVATE LIFE, the name having been in the custody of Louisiana born Breznik for some five years prior to its adoption by the singer for her new project with Johnson.
It was whilst Kelly was still living in Louisiana that she became friends with Valerie Bertinelli, the actress wife of Van Halen's Eddie Van Halen, but it was through using engineer Don Landee on demo tapes in Los Angeles that Van Halen became interested in working with the band. Van Halen wound up co-producing PRIVATE LIFE's debut album, 'Shadows', with Donn Landee. The group signed to Warner Brothers and almost naturally were then taken out on tour by Van Halen.
The band's sophomore album, a self-titled offering, found Van Halen and Ted Templeman on board although Jay Davis and Lenny Campanaro had made way for Steve Kershisnik and Chris Frazier respectively. Amongst the tracks on offer was a cover of Van Morrison’s 'Domino'.
In 1991 Danny Johnson was working with ex D'Molls singer Desi Rexx and former UFO drummer Andy Parker in Rexx And Johnson. By 1996 he had enrolled into the veteran act Steppenwolf, appearing on their 'Feed The Fire' album.

Private Life Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think it's time for a change
You may get disgusted
Start thinkin' that I'm strange
In that case I'll go underground
Get some heavy rest
Never have to worry
Oh oh Domino (all right)
Roll me over Romeo
There you go
Lord have mercy
I said oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo
There you go
Say it again
I said oh oh Domino
I said oh oh Domino, dig it
There's no need for argument
There's no argument at all
And if you never hear from him
That just means he didn't call or vice versa
That depends on wherever you're at
Or and if you never hear from me
That just means I would rather not
Oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo
There you go
Lord have mercy
I said oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo
There you go
Say it again
Oh oh Domino
I said oh oh Domino.

The song "Domino" by Private Life is a song that speaks about a need for change without wanting to discuss it. The singer emphasizes that it's time for them to go underground, seeking heavy rest where they won't have to worry about what's best or worst. The repetition of "Roll me over Romeo" and "Oh oh Domino" are suggestive of a sexual motif. The singer further suggests that there is no need for any arguments or discussions, hence, whoever doesn't hear from them, that means they didn't want to. The song is a representation of an individual's need for change without necessarily discussing it.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was written by Van Morrison, the Northern Irish singer-songwriter known for hits like "Brown Eyed Girl" and "Moondance." Private Life did a cover of the song in 1980, which reached number 47 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song was also featured in the 1980 movie "The Blues Brothers" as part of the soundtrack. It is one of the few songs on the soundtrack not performed by the Blues Brothers themselves.

Steve Kershisnik is my personal friend, and I hung out with this band in the day. I also met Eddie Van Halen who co-produced this band with Ted Templeman. Those were the days!

I remember seeing them open for Van Halen in 88. I had their albums.
