As far as fresh-faced indie rock bands go, Cloud Nothings are doing pretty well for themselves. Debut full-length released earlier this year? Yep! Sophomore full-length coming out in January? You already know about that! Super extensive winter tour that eventually becomes a spring tour? Well, that would be the next move. But Cloud Nothings, how will you go on tour without… guitars?
Cloud Nothings won’t, and that is precisely why they are bringing guitars. Really, I don’t know why they wouldn’t. That would be a gaffe worthy of the gaffe hall of fame, which isn’t a thing, but would be if someone made such a major gaffe. The Cleveland-based group will be hitting a ridiculous number of cities around the United States, guitars in tow. Also in tow will be Mr. Dream, who are not Mike Tyson, and A Classic Education, who are also not Mike Tyson.
