Operation Aloha – Bottling Bohemia In Hawaii
One day two winters ago, 14 musicians decided to leave their hectic lives for a little while and go to ‘Gilligans Island’ – only this island was Maui, Hawaii and instead of sleeping on hammocks beneath the palm trees they slept 500 feet above sea level in a compound of treehouses. Together they lived a minimalistic existence …no electricity, no running water, hardly a road to drive on and barely a roof over their heads. Yet, it was 30 blissful days of swimming, surfing, singing on the beach…inspiring and experimenting and most importantly, recording some very amazing music. The end result is Operation Aloha, a collection of songs that captures the tranquility, freedom and spirit of Hawaii – and it will be self-released on May 12th, 2009. It may sound like a great reality TV show, but it’s far from reality… about 2,500 miles (Los Angeles) to be exact…
