About Me

Mid-late 2005- early 2008:
CUNHABAND, mostly solo recordings, occasional outside input. Musical chairs. Occasional posted online tracks, gave the illusion of functional band.
Mid-but-still-early 2008 to early 2009:
CUNHABAND starts playing out mostly in the Western Mass area, after failed attempts at growing mustaches and heavy consumption of lint.
Early 2009:
CUNHABAND name dropped in favor of ALOTTLE. Much rejoicing.
ALOTTLE operations are currently located in downtown Holyoke, inside of a warehouse unfit to hold any self-respecting recording enthusiast. Live-wise, we are available for any social function in any electrically-powered structure.
