HALLOWEEN, ALASKA is a band based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Their third full-length release "Champagne Downtown" is now available online and via independent music retailers, as are the self-titled debut and follow-up "Too Tall Hide".
" ... Like [TV On The Radio], this Minnesota quartet lays out moody guitar and keyboards bric-a-brac atop subtly quaking beats ... there's understated elegance all over their third record—soft, glassy drones, worried groove glitch, a shy come-on cribbed from an old Prince song."—Blender
"[FOUR STARS]...HALLOWEEN, ALASKA's emotive verve and electro-organic poise is so accomplished, you'd think you'd got your hands on The Blue Nile's mislaid comeback album." —Mojo Magazine
"A lot of bands claim not to fit any preexisting pop music genre, but few can back up such claims as convincingly as Minneapolis-based HALLOWEEN, ALASKA...jittery-jungly and swooningly melodic...sonically large and weirdly cathartic...Highly recommended." —All Music Guide
Absolutely amazing show last night at the Cabooze! Really enjoyed the live version of "All the Arms Around You"... Made my night!
Thank you for your support... With some of our future shows, we would love to have you perform. After this Haba Na Haba Concert on the 26th of September, we will begin planning for our one-two day festival for next summer. We will keep in touch...
Peace, Love and Music Jesse from Concert Culture Music & Event Director jessepgilmore@gmail.com www.habanahabaconcert.com
I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to see you. I was really impressed how the songs translated live! I love the new album, but next time you come to the chicago area, toss in a few more old tracks to the live set! Looking forward to the next show, regardless, thanks for coming down.
