Biography
Cloud Minder is a moody, brooding instrumental rock outfit from Philadelphia. Their first release, The Territory of this Contract is the Universe EP, was recorded and produced by Anthropic Records. More recently, the band self-released a 3 track EP, Close Cover, Strike Gently that is available for purchase at shows. Like all of the bands merchandise, each copy of the limited release set was carefully designed and hand screen-printed by its members at their home. Stay tuned for Cloud Minders' next release (rumored to be their full-length debut) in early 09!
Cloud Minder has played in some of the best venues all over the U.S. These are some of the shows Cloud Minder played in 2008.
