   About Malpais
Malpais - formed in 2008 by Greg Loftis upon returning to Omaha from stints in many different places and countries. His zest for exploring had brought him to Central America where he heard of a beach called Malpais. Recalling "Brave New World" he traveled to the beautiful place that inspired the ironic name. He returned to his Midwestern home and began recording "Luka is leaving New York". To date, Loftis is the only constant in the equation, yet he regularly plays and records with many friends. In it's short life Malpais has shared the stage with Cursive, Blue October, Say Anything, The Narrator, Little Brazil, and Ludo to name a few. The debut album was recorded at ARC studios(Connor Oberst and Mike Mogis's) in Omaha with recording guru A.J. Mogis. Alternative Press Magazine gave the album 4 out of 5 stars and Spin called Malpais "The band you will wish you knew about last year". malpais 22! ..This profile was edited with MySpace Profile Editor
