CLOUD NOTHINGS IN CONCERT:
Cleveland punk band Cloud Nothings have established a heavy cult following since their formation in 2010. Frontman Dylan Baldi leads the jam session-like performances on stage with his raw vocals and grungy guitar playing, feeding off of the hard-hitting drums and thumping bass lines from his bandmates. After touring with indie rockers Atlas Genius and Silversun Pickups and selling out shows across the US, Cloud Nothings have evolved into high-energy performers, cranking up the volume for their 2014 show dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Singer/songwriter Dylan Baldi originally started Cloud Nothings as a solo project, recording his songs in GarageBand in his parents' basement. Baldi's music attracted attention from Carpark Records, landing him a record deal which led to the release of his self-titled debut in 2011. The album received positive widespread acclaim from Pitchfork Media and NME for the band's gritty guitars and wholesome, punk-rock sound. Their sophomore album, Attack on Memory, created even more buzz with its release the following year, earning a spot on Pitchfork's "Best New Music" list and a performance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. 2014’s Here and Nowhere Else may be the band’s most cohesive, intricate album to date, but it remains as fast-paced as anything they’ve done in the past. Cloud Nothings will have fans head-banging and rocking out to their vigorous live sets on their 2014 tour.
