 The members are survived by post-Julies music projects and a beaming love for each other and the time they spent together. On certain moonless nights, that love can still be glimpsed hovering above Philadelphia." The members are survived by post-Julies music projects and a beaming love for each other and the time they spent together.

 +Most of the band re-formed briefly as Riveria. They played several shows, but never released any music before they broke up.
 +
 +In 2023, Chris Newkirk, Alex Yost, and Patrick Zbyszewski released a new single called "Symmetry" with hints of more songs to come. They were joined by Kyle Pulley on bass, Ian McGlynn on keyboards, and Keeton Yost programming the drums.

 +Notes about each song from an old fan-site for The Julies:
 +
 +"Kelly Counts the Stars" started as something Greg and Pat used to strum in their space age bachelor pad to impress the neighbors. We recorded it at John's on our 8-track in October. An improved digitally mastered version will appear on the //Sam// compilation.
 +
 +"Love Scene 17" was recorded at Cedar Creek with Bill Campbell. This is the initial mix. This song appears on our //Lovelife// ep.
 +
 +"Crash" and "Halo" appear courtesy of our //January// ep/demo. we pretty much have sold out... so we encourage you to dub it from a friend or send us a blank tape and $1 and we'll put in the man hours and do the work for you.
 +
 +"Sick of Me" is probably the first song the five of us ever wrote together. Come! Share our embarrassment. This was our sad, misguided (yet brave) attempt at self-recording a demo in the late fall of '92. Please laugh with us, not at us.
 +
 +This live version of "Wake Up, Christine" was recorded at CBGB's (NYC) in August '94. I think it was only the second time we played it in our set. If you listen closely, you can hear the crowd... nope, it's just crickets. this was also recorded for the //Lovelife// ep - a guaranteed hit at your next sleep over!

 +The Julies recorded //Lovelife// in a ferocious weekend at Bill Campbell's home studio in 1995. After submitting the final mixes to Flying Tart, the label insisted on having them remixed. The recordings were sent to Dave Barbe, an up and coming engineer, most well-known at the time as the bassist for alternative rock band Sugar, which the band members happened to be big fans of.
 +
 +The mixes Barbe provided were edgy and lean, often eschewing backing vocals and emphasizing the intricate guitar work of the songs. After some back and forth between the band (who were loyal to Campbell's mixes) and the label, a compromise was reached, with three tracks being selected from each mix engineer.
