Jean Yves Tola<\/strong> aka AL\u00d3WAN<\/strong> started playing music when he was six years old, learning solfege and classical music at the conservatory. Surrounded by four older siblings who all played music from piano, to guitar, to violin, and bathed in a multitude of music styles from Mozart to Dylan, Miles Davis to 70\u2019s Rock, Jean Yves, at the age of 15, started drum lessons. He also then switched his attention to the punk rock and cold wave scene, becoming a member of several Parisian punk and rock bands until he joined Passion Fodder<\/strong> (former Orchestre Rouge<\/strong>) in the late 80s and moved to Los Angeles <\/p>\n\n

After three albums and a few tours, Tola<\/strong> moved on and joined Edward\u2019<\/strong>s band, The Denver Gentleman<\/strong>, then also based in LA. Tola and Edwards (along with Pascal Humbert) founded 16 Horsepower<\/strong> shortly after and after only one show, they decided to move to Denver, Colorado. Regretfully, 16 Horsepower dissolved in 2005 but gained a cult-like reputation for this genre of music in Europe and the US.<\/strong> To this day, their body of work is still alive, being thought out and revered by the press and the public at large. David Eugene Edwards has kept his light on with his impressive collection of Wovenhand recordings. And now Jean Yves Tola is back, too. AL\u00d3WAN<\/strong> \u201cFeathers\u201d will be released on LP, CD and digital on April 19th, 2024 via Giltterhouse Records. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
