Bowling Green, OH, USA (1997 – present)
There are two bands called Aloha
1) american indie rock band currently signed to Polyvinyl Record Company. The four members of Aloha are scattered across the eastern half of the country, but spend most of their time making music together. Some Echoes is the second Aloha album since T.J. Lipple joined the band, and was recorded, mixed and mastered at Silver Sonya, the studio he runs with Chad Clark (Beauty Pill) in Arlington, Va.
Tony Cavallario and T.J. began playing together during a lull in Aloha’s schedule in late 2002, when they both lived in Pittsburgh. T.J. joined the band in May of 2003, when Cale Parks, Tony and Matthew Gengler joined him at his grandpa’s empty house in Altoona, PA. There they began writing 2004’s Here Comes Everyone though at the time they didn’t know it. With T.J. came a more focused approach to making music and a host of new tools including marimba, homemade mellotrons, organs and tape manipulations. T.J.’s skilled drumming also allowed Cale to move to the piano on occasion.
Aloha began with Tony and Matthew in the summer of 1997 in Bowling Green, OH, USA along with Eric Koltnow and Anthony Buehrer. Their first release, a self-titled and self-released 7” in an addition of 330 was delayed and issued sporadically when the artist hired to due the intaglio accompanying the record couldn’t produce them to speed.

Didn't think I'd ever be into something like this but I must admit 'That's Your Fire' is a refreshing listen. "Thinking man's indie rock" I claim. The vocalist's style remind me of a good friend.

Call me crazy, but there is something extremely spiritual about this band. The music is calling. Some songs like There, There, White Wind, Equinox, most of their slower song, sound almost like a Native American pow wow, and that is really, really beautiful.

Phish has festivals, the grateful dead had theirs. I think its about time for Alohafest. The world needs to know about this music.

more so then any band i know, it boggles my mind that Aloha has managed to stay under the radar, especially with a whopping 7 albums that glisten with abstract beauty. one of the most compatible groups i have ever heard, they never cease to amaze me with the amount of love i sense in their music.
