Aloha began with Tony Cavallario and Matthew Gengler in the summer of 1997 in Bowling Green, OH. The only Polyvinyl band to be signed based on a demo tape, the band has operated from a number of bases, variously doing their writing, rehearsing and living in Cleveland, Chicago, Washington D.C., Cincinnati, Rochester, Pittsburgh and Altoona, PA.
Although the four members of Aloha (including T.J. Lipple and Cale Parks) are scattered across the eastern half of the country, their commitment to making music together remains.
