Cloud Cult

Cloud Cult is set to release a full-length documentary, titled No One Said It Would Be Easy, on April 21st, with a supporting US tour.

Offering an annotated history behind each of Cloud Cult’s seven official full-length releases, the film deconstructs the back story, including the recruitment and inclusion of band members, as well as the tragic loss of singer/songwriter Craig Minowa and wife and visual artist Connie Minowa’s son, Kaidin….Echoing the emotional catharsis required of a Cloud Cult performance, the film ebbs and flows, is filled with soaring highs and crushing lows, and is about what happens when a group of people commits to something much larger than themselves.

The band’s website reports that “members of our email list [which you can sign up for here] will receive a special pre-release offer on limited edition collectors DVDs in March.”

The DVD-supporting tour stretches across the US, hitting the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn with Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s on Thursday, April 9th (tickets still on sale) and this year’s Coachella Festival in Indie, CA on April 18th.

The band last played a NYC show in November at Bowery Ballroom. Since then we took a look at their “Lucky Today” Esurance ad in an edition of This Week In Music Licensing. All tour dates, the doc trailer, and a Margot & NSS Take-Away show video, below…
