Biography Wikipedia

from Wikipedia:

Cloud Nothings is a lo-fi, indie rock band from Cleveland, Ohio.

History

Dylan Baldi started Cloud Nothings as a way to amuse himself between classes at Case Western Reserve University in 2009.

The first batch of Cloud Nothings songs, including the blogosphere favorite "Hey Cool Kid" (available on the 2010 compilation "Turning On"), was recorded on a computer in the basement of Baldi's home in Westlake, OH.

A concert promoter who invited Cloud Nothings to play a gig in New York City in December 2009 prompted Baldi to hastily assemble a real band and drop out of college to focus on his music full-time.

Baldi recorded the second Cloud Nothings album (2010's Self Titled) in Baltimore with producer Chester Gwazda.

The Cloud Nothings third album, Attack On Memory, was released in January 2012. It was the first album in 2012 to receive "Best New Music" status on Pitchfork.com.

Interview: Cloud Nothings

By Brian Raftery

Just over two years ago, Dylan Baldi was a bored Clevelandteenager living at his parents' place, where he'd churn out lo-fi, high-watt power-pop tunes that he released under the name Cloud Nothings. Two spastically executed albums followed: The 2010 singles compilation Turning On and last year's Cloud Nothings. But neither hinted at the raw power of this month's Attack on Memory, a hooky half-hour's worth of bruised guitars, tortured vocals and sky-scraping choruses, all recorded… more »

SXSW 2011: Days 3 and 4 Report

By J. Edward Keyes , Editor-in-Chief

One of both the strange upsides and unfortunate downsides of South by Southwest is that it seems to take place in a vacuum — for a week straight, the world is reduced to the intersection of 6th Street and Red River in Austin, and it's easy to pretend there is little happening outside it. Occasionally, though, reality intervenes: This year's festival happened in the shadow of global catastrophe — the tsunami and subsequent nuclear instability… more »
