notes

ALO is the result of a musical partnership between keyboardist Zach Gill, guitarist Dan Lebowitz, and bassist Steve Adams, that began in a Santa Barbara middle school more than 14 years ago. Since then the three have formed the core of several different bands. Since moving to San Francisco in 1998, the trio has been performing as Animal Liberation Orchestra, shortened to ALO in 2002 when they hired drummer Adam Goodhue and began a nonstop national tour. ALO's music is known for its balance of supercharged dance grooves and brilliant, often quirky songwriting.

Steeped in the legacy of down-and-dirty funk, ALO offers a musical vision which draws on an astounding array of influences, from trance to reggae, bluegrass to booty-beat, psych-out to soul. The group's live concerts, best described as a kind of jam-band vaudeville show, feature special effects, comic skits and the group's own spell-binding improvisations to draw unsuspecting audiences together into a riotous, rapturous dance floor frenzy. ALO enjoys a nationwide reputation for peerless musicianship and top-notch entertainment. Come experience ALO, and become devoted to its one-of-a-kind musical vision.

    Bought it on the premise that it would be awesome. Was not let down in the least. This 6 track 49 minute album is really something. Each song carries a story of it's own with interesting bridges and entertaining variation. Another CD with great songs. It's ALO, and it's great.

    I've been listening to jam bands and the such for many years and these guys have what it takes. The lyrics and the music is something that stays with you for hours after listening. The best I can say about ALO is that I am hooked.

    ALO delivers. Zach Gill's lyrics are funny and philosophical... and the band is tight as ever. Check them out live if you get the chance... they'll make you feel at home.
