Template:Infobox musical artist 2 Aleka's Attic was a rock band formed by River Phoenix and his sister Rain. River was lead singer and played guitar, his sister: vocals and keyboard. Josh McKay was the bass player and vocals, Josh Greenbaum, a friend of River’s from Florida, was the drummer and Tim Hankins played the viola. Tim Hankins was the first member to leave the band, angry that River was always gone months at a time to shoot movies. Josh McKay soon joined him. Later Hankins and McKay formed the band Emperor Moth. Later, Sasa Raphael joined the band playing the bass.
The Song "Too Many Colors", interpreted by the band, it was played in one of the films that had in the main cast vocalist River Phoenix "My Own Private Idaho" of 1991, directed by Gus Van Sant.
The Group received a promise of recording of a disk of recording Island Records, what was not accomplished in the time in that the wanted band. Like this, River Phoenix decided to record an album independently for the band. After engraving, the album had his postponed release with River Phoenix's death. And it stays in the status of no thrown to the current days. The Reason is a problem with two former-members Josh McKay and Josh Greenbaum, that don't accept the release of the disk, and they don't also liberate the music for a reason no illustrious.
The group disbanded due to River Phoenix's death on October 31, 1993 from a drug overdose. At his funeral, he wore a t-shirt of the band while resting in the casket.
River always said that music was his passion, and that he even preferred it over acting. He didn't get paid for it, like he did for his acting, but he loved it just as much, if not more. He put just as much effort into it as he did into his acting.
