Cale Parks
Michael Cale Parks, otherwise known as Cale Parks, is best known for his role as the multi-faceted drummer, percussionist, pianist and vibraphonist of the indie band Aloha on Polyvinyl Records.
In the summer of 2006, Cale Parks released his first full-length album, Illuminated Manuscript, on Japan's Stiff Slack Records and in the US on Polyvinyl Records. The record was recorded on borrowed four-tracks and computers in various locations in the midwest.
In 2007-2008, Cale joined Brooklyn-based band White Williams as their drummer.
And at the end of 2009, BRAHMS, a three-man Coldwave band composed of Parks, Eric Lyle Lodwick and Drew Montag Robinson was formed. With only four demos under their belts, already critics named the band as one to look out for.
In addition to performing solo and with Aloha and White Williams, Cale Parks is also known for recording and touring with various other bands and solo artists, including: Cex, Chin Up Chin Up, Joan of Arc, Love of Everything, Owen, Pit Er Pat and Passion Pit. In the spring of 2012 Parks began playing with Yeasayer. In 2014 Cale toured as a drummer with Chet Faker and in 2015 on drums with Tanlines.

Girl With A Fishing Rod
by: Kelly ParkesFrom the time I was a little bitty girl my grandpa
Took me Sunday fishin' at river where I caught
Catfish by the dozen and everyone was buzzin' 'bout the girl, the girl with the fishin' rod
We laughed, we talked and I learned a lot
I learned that People Magazine, Cosmo, and Seventeen
All those girls got nothin' on me
I like a little bit of makeup, camouflage tank top
My dream boat on the nearest creek
I can turn heads on the riverbed as good as the girls in Hollywood can
'Cause Grandpa said nothin's closer to God than a girl with a fishin' rod
Growin' up the girls at school were all cheerleadin'
While I was out with Grandpa just casting and reeling
The boys would all go fishing and all those girls were wishing they were me, the girl with the fishin' rod
I laughed, they cried 'cause I always got the guy
I learned that People Magazine, Cosmo, and Seventeen
All those girls got nothin' on me
I like a little bit of makeup, camouflage tank top
My dream boat on the nearest creek
I can turn heads on the riverbed as good as the girls in Hollywood can
'Cause Grandpa said nothin's closer to God than a girl with a fishin' rod
When I have a daughter I'm gonna raise her on the water
Tell her 'bout Grandpa, teach her bout life, a little 'bout love and the way that I
I learned that People Magazine, Cosmo, and Seventeen
All those girls got nothin' on me
I like a little bit of makeup, camouflage tank top
My dream boat on the nearest creek
I can turn heads on the riverbed as good as the girls in Hollywood can
'Cause Grandpa said nothin's closer to God than a girl with a fishin' rod
