The Clouds (Australian Band)The Clouds were an indie rock band from Sydney, Australia formed in 1989. The core of the group consisted of frontwomen Jodi Phillis (guitar and vocals) and Patricia Young (bass and vocals). The line up of the Clouds changed several times with different drummers and lead guitarists. According to many observers, Stuart Eddie was by far the strongest drummer in the band's changing line-up, likened to John Bonham in his power. In 1991 the Clouds released their debut album, 'Penny Century', which reached number 14 at the national mainstream charts in Australia. Their next album, 'Thunderhead', was released in 1993. In 1994 The Clouds took a six-month tour to Europe and the United States, securing an American record deal with Elektra Records, only to be dumped later (along with Elektra's entire overseas roster). In 1996 the band released their third album, the highly compromised 'Futura'. Although Phillis and Young were widely praised for their ability to harmonize their vocals, the Clouds suffered from a lack of promotion and support within the industry and eventually disbanded in 1997. Phillis went on to form the Dearhunters and is now a solo artist. There was also a British indie pop band in the 1980s called The Clouds. See The Clouds (UK band). Clouds, The (Australian band)
