ALOHA! had a short, but extremely successful run in Baltimore throughout 1998 and early 1999. A genuine power trio that played all instrumental music spawned from The Band of Gypsies and Black Sabbath. Driving, heart-pounding drums, fluent basslines, and stylisitc guitars seperated this trio from other "stoner rock" and "jam" bands. This CD was recorded as a class thesis project for a student at UMBC and was done in real time with no overdubbing or retakes.

The sound quality sucks, but the performance certainly doesn't. This is the only known live recording of ALOHA! that took place in the cozy confides of Mum's in Federal Hill, Baltimore. Get a glimpse of what it was like to catch this band during it's heyday. Includes two unreleased tracks ("Left Lane Driver" and "Untitled") and a rare Pink Floyd cover ("Astronomy Domine"). If you listen very closely to "Left Lane Driver" and "Untitled" you just might hear the beginnings of future Eight Track Mind song's "Friends" and "Get High On Me."
