I've finally recovered from my 4th of July vacation. Ten burgers, a few firework close-calls, and a good number of missed spots with the sun screen later, I'm ready to tell you about Aloha. They've been around for a a few years, each album in my opinion getting better and better. Their excellent latest release, "Some Echoes", doesn't have quite as many vibraphone breakdowns as some of their older stuff, but adds some nice organ layers. It's also the closest thing to love songs I've heard from them, where the past releases, "Sugar" and "Here Comes Everyone" were a little more on the serious side. Definitely pick this album up. Aloha is playing TT The Bears in Cambridge, MA on August 24. Get tix here.

"Let Your Head Hang Low" was the first Aloha tune I heard, I remember thinking how different this was than anything else I was listening to:

Aloha means hello AND goodbye. Strange, yet simple!
I was really hoping you were going to update your blog today, but it seems you don't have any great new music to discuss. Maybe you haven't heard of the new up and coming band called "Waltham". If you have, I am sure it would have been posted by now. I heard them on the radio last night. They are from Waltham, MA. surprise, surprise. I am sure they play a lot of local shows, not sure if they've become mainstream enough to have downloadable music. I leave that task to you, Giant Panther. Cheers!
If they play anything like "Karls Steak Subs", Their music is cheesy and delicious.
