Polyvinyl post-rockers Aloha started a cross-country journey through the States last night in Chicago. The band, still touring on top of last year's Some Echoes LP, will spend most of the jaunt alongside the non-Mars Volta At the Drive-in offshoot Sparta and Philly five-piece mewithoutYOU.

After the tour wraps up in late March, the band will head into the studio to record material for their next Polyvinyl release, due in early 2008.
