1) American indie rock band currently signed to Polyvinyl Record Company. The four members of Aloha are scattered across the eastern half of the country, but spend most of their time making music together. Some Echoes is the second Aloha album since T.J. Lipple joined the band, and was recorded, mixed and mastered at Silver Sonya, the studio he runs with Chad Clark (Beauty Pill) in Arlington, Va.
Tony Cavallario and T.J. began playing together during a lull in Aloha's schedule in late 2002, when they both lived in Pittsburgh. T.J. joined the band in May of 2003, when Cale Parks, Tony and Matthew Gengler joined him at his grandpa's empty house in Altoona, PA. There they began writing 2004's Here Comes Everyone though at the time they didn't know it. With T.J. came a more focused approach to making music and a host of new tools including marimba, homemade mellotrons, organs and tape manipulations. T.J.'s skilled drumming also allowed Cale to move to the piano on occasion.
Aloha began with Tony and Matthew in the summer of 1997 in Bowling Green, OH, USA along with Eric Koltnow and Anthony Buehrer. Their first release, a self-titled and self-released 7" in an addition of 330 was delayed and issued sporadically when the artist hired to due the intaglio accompanying the record couldn't produce them to speed. One of the few bands to ever actually get a record deal based on a demo tape, the band spent time based out of Cleveland. In recent years, Aloha has operated from a number of bases, doing their writing, rehearsing and living in Chicago, Washington D.C., Cleveland, Cincinnati, Rochester, Pittsburgh and Altoona. Extensive touring has made Aloha renowned for their intense, non-stop live shows as well as their homemade T-shirts and self-reliant ethic. They have shared the stage the likes of Q and Not U, Ted Leo, Clinic, as well as Cex and Joan of Arc, two bands in which Cale Parks has been a member (including White Williams).

Aloha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
how long it will take
what it is we'll make.
Recall the satellites to bring you some junk
we wrangle satellites
to clear out a space for us
Someday we all will share the same sky
but no one believes us
In the song "Building a Fire" by Aloha, the lyrics can be interpreted in various ways. The opening lines suggest a sense of uncertainty and unpredictability in the singer's life. The singer acknowledges that when they go away, they are unsure how long it will take for them to return and what they will accomplish. The lines "how long it will take / what it is we'll make" may imply the singer is unsure of their purpose, direction, or plans.
The following lines "Recall the satellites to bring you some junk / we wrangle satellites / to clear out a space for us" suggest a theme of manipulating technology to create space or order. The singer may feel a disconnect from nature, and they turn to technology to establish some control over their environment. The line "we wrangle satellites to clear out a space for us" depicts a sense of power over nature, as the singers use the satellites to make room for themselves.
The closing line "Someday we all will share the same sky, but no one believes us" may imply the singer feels isolated and unheard. Despite the sense of control over their environment, perhaps the singer feels disconnected from others, and their belief in a shared future is not shared.

When I go away I can't say
I am uncertain of how long I will be gone
how long it will take
I do not know the duration of my absence
what it is we'll make.
It's unclear what we will create during my absence
Recall the satellites to bring you some junk
We retrieve satellites to gather various items
we wrangle satellites
We contort satellites to suit our needs
to clear out a space for us
We create a position for ourselves
Someday we all will share the same sky
All beings will eventually coexist under the same universe
but no one believes us
However, people refuse to accept this possibility
