Big Black Cloud (formerly Here Comes a Big Black Cloud) are one of the tiptop utmost very best live bands I've seen in the last year. The reason you haven't seen 'em is 'cos last time they came through the area, I could not get them a proper venue show, so they wound up playing on the radio for a studio audience of five or six people. They played their guts out and slayed us, and next to Ratas del Vaticano, they were the best band Live in Studio A on Art for Spastics ever! They are quite easily relatable to Sacramento/Davis folks for how much they remind you of two of our favorite bands of yester-decades......like the Yahmos but maybe sorta grizzled, or the Pope Smashers but with more Rowland Howard than Sonic Youth in the guitar. Emotional and drastic without getting cheesy about it, they're a really convincing slumtrip through mania and anxiety, but also succeed in maintaining some sense of humor and fun. The drummer is just non-stop. You will dance, headbang, fistpump, yell, shout, rage, holler, and all that 'cos these guys will bring it, and you will be won over. You should know that the Yahmos and Pope Smashers were my absolute favorite live bands in Sacramento some 15 years ago, and they became my benchmarks for what constitutes awesome in live musical performance, and they still remain that to this very day. Therefore, I do not throw this comparison around lightly.
