Cloud Control

With affirmation of their brilliance in from their homeland, being awarded the critically acclaimed Australian Music Award Cloud Control are set to unleash their stellar collection of quirky layered harmonic psyche-pop on the rest of the world. Cloud Control signed to bespoke independent label Infectious Music in 2010, and very quickly the tightly packed four-piece from the picturesque and rugged terrains of Australia's Blue Mountains started to turn heads with the NME claiming ?We've got a new bunch of favourite fuzzlings, and their name is Cloud Control? and noted BBC Radio 1 D.

Cloud Control signed to bespoke independent label Infectious Music in 2010, and very quickly the tightly packed four-piece from the picturesque and rugged terrains of Australia's Blue Mountains started to turn heads with the NME claiming ?We've got a new bunch of favourite fuzzlings, and their name is Cloud Control? and noted BBC Radio 1 D.J Nick Grimshaw hailing Bliss Release the bands debut long-player ?perfect for summer time?.

The first part 2011 has seen Cloud Control complete a string of live shows on both sides of the Atlantic, including a grueling nine show campaign at SXSW in Austin Texas and support slots in the UK with Noah & the Whale, Mona and the Naked and Famous. During this first visit to Europe, respected Dutch music title Oor Magazine noted ?Cloud Control is setting a foundation for an undoubtedly successful music year for them in Europe. Let The Vaccines, Mona and the rest fight over being newcomer of the year. Here in Paradiso stood one of the festival hits of 2011.?

Returning to Australia in March to play two sold-out headline shows the band were specially requested by Foo Fighters to support them in a one off charity concert for Queensland Flood Relief.

With their amps still steaming Cloud Control jetted back to the UK for their debut headline tour in April, which ended triumphantly in front of a sold-out crowd at venue XOYO in London's East End. And it seems as the weeks continue to unfold towards the UK & EU release of ?Bliss Release' on May 23rd, more and more people are professing their love for the group, including Huw Stephens from BBC Radio 1 who tweeted ?Watching Cloud Control filling the breathtaking Koko venue with their stomping harmonious beauty? and Drowned In Sound who declared ?Cloud Control have made a tremendously enjoyable album.?

Keep a close eye on Cloud Control this summer who play a slew of festival dates that already include Great Escape, Hop Farm and Field Day Festivals in the UK and the likes of Lowlands, London Calling, Hurricane & Southside and Les Rock Dans Tous Ses Etats in Europe.

Cloud Control are Alister Wright (guitar/lead vocals), Jeremy Kelshaw (bass) and siblings Heidi Lenffer (keyboards/vocals) and Ulrich Lenffer (drums).
