Red Monroe, Record Hop, Qui October 21, 2007

Cloud Cult are an experimental indie-rock band from Minnesota, USA. The band's founder and singer Craig Minowa has a degree in Environmental Science and his environmental, political and social awareness is reflected in much of Cloud Cult's music. The Changes have been one of the more visible bands in Chicago of late. Their music is polished, positive and hook-laden, which is all good.

Qui was founded in 2000 by drummer/vocalist Paul Christensen and guitarist/vocalist Matt Cronk in Los Angeles, CA. Their idiosyncratic blend of punk, noise, metal and experimental genres, coupled with their advanced musical prowess, earned them a small but dedicated following throughout the U.S.
