Environmentally-friendly epic rock band Cloud Cult will bring their transcendent brand of musical mirth to five lucky Midwestern venues, beginning tonight. Not to be confused with the Cloud Room, (whose dashing singer presently adorns our weekly feature-space), Cloud Cult are a Minnesota-based act whose 2005 LP Advice From the Happy Hippopotamus was sweet enough to register an 8.3 on this here indie-barometer in spite of its corny title and god-awful cover art. How about that?

Cloud Cult will use these gigs to warm up for a nationwide tour this April and May, dates TBA. So join the cult...ooh they even have live painters and a video dude, hot!:
