I'm going to bang on about this band again. So much to like, the harmonies, Jodi's Rickenbacker, the heart shaped tuning pegs on Trish's bass. They were part of the original Australian boom in "alternative" music and I cherish several of the recordings I own. Strangely, I never saw them live, which is why I quite enjoy this video.

You all in this community have good taste in music. Thanks!

Omg - so good. Video helped too. You can literally see the passion each musician had. Im not even the least but musically inclined, but this is great, inspired, music.

The Clouds are great. I saw them again in about 2016-17 and they were just as good as they were in the early nineties.
