Since coming together as a band, they cut their teeth playing numerous California dates with groups like Entrance Band, Tyde, Tijuana Panthers, and the Growlers, and have garnered the approval of original UK Psych founding-father Patrick Campbell-Lyons (Nirvana). In the Los Angeles musical community, they gained a reputation as a laid-back, grooving band with strong ties to the authentically LA-centric sounds of bands like the Byrds, Love, and early Captain Beefheart.
The group released their third album, Calico Review, on September 9, 2016. On November 3, 2017, the band released the EP Covers #1. The EP consists of four covers of songs by George Harrison, Television, Kathy Heideman, and Further. In October 2019, the band released the album LAHS.
Long Journey
Allah-Las Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know where I'll sleep tonight.
Oh under the stars
Or maybe in your bed alright.
Against the wind
I crossed your desert today.
Don't care what you say
Cause baby I'm goin'a stay.
Yeah I'll comb this whole beach over
Trying to find the love that'll stay.
It's been a long, long journey
Don't know where I left my mind.
Down in the canyon
Or maybe in the back of your ride.
I'm heading down by the river
To kill your daddy tonight
And by the break of day
You know that we'll be outta sight.
Girl I'll search this whole world over
Trying to find the love that'll stay
