Though the group's core members eventually left their Ohio digs, the band still has three of its four founders -- guitarist and songwriter Tony Cavallario, bassist Matthew Gengler, and utility musician Cale Parks -- operating remotely from a number of bases around the Midwest. Adding T.J. Lipple on keyboard and drums, they continued to collaborate via postal and electronic exchange which added up to the 2006 <i>Some Echoes</i> release, eschewing polyrhythmic percussive bombast and whirlwind arrangements for more subdued pop arrangements. Extensive touring has given Aloha renowned for their intense, non-stop live performances and they have toured with Ted Leo and Clinic, among many. - Nate CavalieriIndie/Alternativeen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:56:50 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8600&rws=%2Faloha%2Ftop-tracks.rss When they started playing basement shows in Ohio back in 1997, the band's vibraphone-driven songs took after Chicago indie acts like Tortoise, shaping intelligent pop tunes with studied musicianship and jazz fundamentals.
