Things are heating up for The Cloud Room
* Pepsi, that brown drink, is helping spread the gospel of "Hey Now Now" to a worldwide audience (minus North America, sorry--y'all should get into futbol) with a little help from Ronaldinho...the Arcade Fire of FIFA.
* The band continues to record the new material on our own, as we are back to our old, unsigned selves. An EP "Please don't almost kill me" is being readied for a spring self-release.
* Our music is also featured prominently in the upcoming feature film that just premiered at Sundance, "Delirious", starring Steve Buscemi !!! Michael Pitt !! and Elvis Costello !!!!

And if you haven't yet heard ... The Cloud Room Singer Loses Gear in Apartment Fire

But chins up, everyone. The music survived! I want to thank everyone who's helped us out, including Jen Carlson who set up a donation site, Le Tigre for turning me into a stylish young man with their free clothes, Gibson for the the guitar, and everyone who's lent a tender, slightly wintery hand.
