Band of the moment (thanks to a killer new album that you can stream on Spotify) Cloud Nothings played a sold out show at The Studio at Webster Hall last night (1/26). Here are some pictures
If you missed them, you’ll have TWO chances to catch the band in NYC while they’re out with A Classic Education in the coming months; March 27 at Mercury Lounge (tickets on AMEX presale on 2/1, regular on 2/3) and March 28 at Glasslands (tickets on sale).
More pictures from The Studio at Webster Hall (we missed openers Bleeding Rainbow and Jump Into The Gospel) are below….
