New LP is out on Bandcamp.

One and a half songs in; loving it. Bravo, sirs!

[Bernardo]

The bandcamp notification that it was online that was a happy email to get.

[Dave N.]

Gonna give it a first listen when I go pick up the kid from dance camp. Alto! is car music, in my world.

[AnthonyVillalobos]

fuck yes

[Angus Jung]

ALTO has closed up shop. Thanks to everyone on this forum who listened and/or helped us out in some way.

I particularly want to thank Conan and Ben Abraham for having us on 2 West Coast PRF BBQs, and Jonah and everyone else involved with the 2016 Chicago BBQ for having us there.

[Dave N.]

Damn. That was a solid run.

[RSMurphy]

Alto! was a joy to experience. Salut!

[Auntie Ovipositor]

Maybe you've stopped playing, but I haven't stopped listening. Or wearing that hideous blue t-shirt.

Thanks for the fun.

[Bernardo]

damn

[enframed]

Sorry to hear that. Looking forward to what comes next.

[Maurice]

Aw, jeez. Respect and gratitude for your work, good sirs!

[Angus Jung]

I am doing a West Coast tour next month with the Iranian-American santur player/drummer Sahba Sizdhakhani.

Initially I had conceived of the tour as us playing individual solo sets, but now the tour is going to be a collaborative band consisting of the 2 of us and called JOMJOMEH (Persian - "skull")

Believe it or not, I’ve played Medford twice.
There is a good venue there, the guy that runs it is a total rockist though.

Probably not the best place for ALTO!

Nice! I'll mark the calendar for the Acme records show. That place is awesome.
Also: Dubuque with Lung is great, we're playing with them a few days later in Madison and Milwaukee. Love that band.

This tour was great btw. I ended up seeing/being assisted by quite a few people from this message board. Salut, all of you.
