Minneapolis outfit Cloud Cult has an excellent new album out April 8, although you can download 'Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes)' on their web site. They played at the Red Eyed Fly on Friday. Their stage set up: drums, guitar, cello, violin, and a painter. Yes, a painter works throughout the entire set. (But he does play a trumpet, too.) The group has a new drummer as well who was found in a MySpace search. He's about 19, I'm told, and he's a hard-hitter -- he'd be at home in Slayer, but he's a great match for Cloud Cult's soaring chamber-rock.
