Animal Liberation Orchestra

Press Release reports: ALO's (Animal Liberation Orchestra) sun-soaked funk jams with soulful vocals, groovy bass and ace lead guitar lines have created dance floor frenzies across the nation at some of the biggest music festivals this summer (they kicked off Bonnaroo with a late night set and were the pied pipers of a 6am campground parade at High Sierra Music Festival, in addition to their main stage set!) and now they are heading to Orange County with Jack Johnson on August 7, 2005. ALO will be onstage at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater at 7:00pm.

Johnson, who is bringing ALO on his entire US/Canada tour, is a longtime fan of the band and even lends his laid back vocals to a track on their new album, Fly Between Falls. ALO has the same crossover appeal as the top selling surfer, with smile-inducing pop ditties, and is much more likely to get everyone shaking their booty![see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
