First Avenue is a place in downtown Minneapolis that has existed for more than a few years.... my MOTHER had gone to concerts at First Ave when she was a teenager. That's how old it is.
I'm not quite sure what I can say in response to the Cloud Cult show but all I can say is I changed a little bit on the inside. It was the most amazing experience I'd had in a very long time and I am not quite sure how to react to this.
Their album Light Chasers is a story in their track list
1. The Mission: Unexplainable Stories
2. The Departure: Today We Give Ourselves to the Fire
3. The Invocation (p.1) - You'll Be Bright
4. The Birth
5. The Baby - You Were Born
6. The Lessons - Exploding People
7. The Interference
8. The Battles - Room Full of People in Your Head
9. The Escape - Running With the Wolves
10. The Acceptance - Responsible
11. The Surrender - Guessing Game
12. The Strength - Forces of the Unseen
13. The Invocation (p.2) - Blessings
14. The Awakening - Dawn
15. The Contact
16. The Arrival - There's So Much Energy In Us
The songs I love the most are You'll be Bright, Forces of the Unseen, Exploding People, and Running with the Wolves.
I loved when they played these songs at their show at First Ave on November 18th when I was there. there was SO much energy in the crowd of people all singing around me and I got lost within the music and the Art painting that two member of the band do during the performace was beautiful. My Camera died before I could get a final photo and most of the pictures I find online of their First Ave performance is from the 21+ show the night before that I obviously couldn't attend due to the fact that I'm only 18.
But if you would like to see Scott West's work his Art blog is http://theartofscottwest.blogspot.com/ << Simple enough isn't it?
Connie Minowa who is the wife of the lead singer of the bad is the other visual artist http://www.connieminowa.com/
Okay well if you haven't heard Cloud Cult EVER you really should. They are amazing and they have been around for about fifteen years and they are Minnesota natives which makes me just absolutely love them more. They always bring me up from my low states even when their songs are about depression Craig finds a light at the end of just about any tunnel.
Underneath I'm posting a video of one of their studio performances, and then I'm also going to post one of their music videos. Give you the chance to check them out yourself! and if you find them ever in your area, Don't hesitate to go see them live. If you don't love them after that you have no soul!
XOXO
