Cloud 9

Cloud 9 has slept in dingy upstairs flats presiding above venues forever masked in the smell of stale beer. Cloud 9 has shared lavished hotel rooms comp’ed by clients on opposite coasts. We rub shoulders with acclaimed musicians sharing stages of epic proportions to sold out crowds. We’ve lugged P.A. systems and half stacks and all the back line accoutrements hundreds of miles to play with bands known only to us for people enticed by drink specials. We are brothers, enemies, and role models to each other, yet an unwavering alliance to all else. We inspire each other with the greatest commonality instilled in all of us, a passion, whatever genre it may be, for music. We are Hip-Hop, and Punk Rock, Grass Roots and Spoken Word, Rock and Alternative; we are whatever makes us feel right at the moment. We lack boundaries and restrictions and indulge in diversity and contradiction. We like money and love fun, chase freedom in its purist form, and realize that without ears music is silence. Faced with this reality, we deliver every night at every show, a set that reminds our fans why they drive all over to follow us and convinces new listeners to call shot gun. Cloud 9 is what ever you call where you’re from a great experience. Gas is often not cheap and deer can do a whole lot of damage to a tour bus, but nothing will stop Cloud 9’s progress. Via land, air, or sea, thumb up or first class, Cloud 9 will do more than just keep keeping on. Cloud 9 will bring an evolution to your eardrum and redefine what you call a BAND..
