KISSED A GIRL - MIKI RATSULA



GEORGE ALLEY (he/him) is a Philadelphia-based multimedia artist whose music has been the center of his work as a composer, performer, professor, journalist, podcaster, choreographer, and curator.

First forming a band in high school with Frank Musarra of Hearts of Darknesses, who he continues to collaborate with to this day, Alley has been releasing singles, performing, and using his original music for performance and dance pieces as part of his company Alley Ink.

Performance has informed his work both in his music video collaborations or as a curator for five years of the Philadelphia multimedia arts festival Collage.

He is a frequent music contributor for the UK-based LGBT pop culture Loverboy Magazine, interviewing a variety of notable musicians, as well as a podcaster for the top-ten iTunes comedy podcast "I’m Going to Kill You!" and the pandemic cast "Queerona."

As a professor, he teaches courses on punk and creativity. This work informs his music through an emphasis on the DIY ethos and the philosophies of chance, spontaneity, and assemblage.


Alley will be releasing his self-titled debut album, *George Alley*, September 27th kicking it off with his new release and video KING IN TOWN. To accompany this release, a five-song concert has been filmed and will be released along with seven promotional music videos. There will be a collectible run of 500 "transparent root beer" colored albums pressed by notable vinyl engineers Gottagroove in Cleveland.
