Aloha Say Hello to U.S. Tour
Vibe-happy quartet Aloha greets the highway once again, embarking today on a tour that will see the Cleveland-, Cincinnati-, Rochester-, DC-, Brooklyn-based (OK, so everywhere-based) band traveling around the Midwest and East Coast, supported by Frenchkiss four-piece Rahim.
Aloha has already toured extensively in support of their recent 8.0-garnering full-length, Some Echoes (Polyvinyl), which the band is streaming in its entirely on their website.
Also, on September 26, Polyvinyl will release the debut solo album by Aloha drummer and Cex collaborator Cale Parks. Titled Illuminated Manuscript, the 12-track LP first appeared in June on Japan's Stiff Slack
imprint (albeit with a slightly different tracklisting and cover art).
The label approached Parks after he posted some tracks-- many of them
experimental Aloha demos-- on his MySpace page. "I never
really set out to make a great solo record," he said of the venture,
"It's mostly a collection of random demos and things I'd recorded at
home for fun."
