Roses & Clover


GOOD VIBRATIONS AND A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
That's right. It's summer and those mojitos just wouldn't taste right without the sun-drenched sounds of ALO.
It seems the boys have shed the longer name (Animal Liberation Orchestra)and even the more frequently used abbreviations (A.L.O.) for a sleeker name, look and if even possible, sound.
These are still the same four nice guys you've come to love. Now, after signing onto good friend, Jack Johnson's Brushfire label followed by non-stop promoting and touring, including opening spots for Jack and the Dave Matthews band, these guys are ready for the big leagues.
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN
Yesterday marked the release of their new album, Roses & Clover and this weekend they kick off their tour at the lovely Fillmore in San Francisco. OH MY! It will be as lovely as ever as ALO has garnered a serious fan base of freaks who help make every show a serious party. It's always been difficult for me to describe their music. I used to refer to them as the 'STEELY DAN' of jam bands. I just know when I think ALO, I think....
