I CLAIM IT ALL

Upcoming gigs section updated!

Saturday, November 3rd @ Genesis in Royal Oak, MI... We are playing with TRIAL. I could not be more excited about this. Trial has been a huge influence on me over the years, especially lyrically. I finally got the chance to see them at Burning Fight in Chicago 2009, and their set floored me.
Plus, this show is with a lot of other cool bands, good friends of mine. A lot of these people haven't gotten to see a proper Cloud Rat show, and know me mainly from my time singing for Under Anchor (now on unofficial hiatus I suppose haha). I think this gig will be one of the best Michigan shows of the year.

Before that though, we get to see and play with our lovely buds in Protestant! October 6th at the Gulag in Detroit. Gonna be a fucking rager, as well as Madison's new crust band Marrow's first show.

US/Canada tour with thedowngoing is shaping up very nicely still. Had a couple of changes, but still only need a few more dates and will be set. Fuck yeah!

Recording more for the split with Orgullo Primitivo and the MOKSHA lp this week. Super excited to get more work done on that stuff.

More updates soon! In other news, I am now unemployed. I've been working the same construction/crane/steel fab gig for almost 10 years, and am now done. It's a long story and I'm not going to get into it. Major life change, but I am feeling pretty fucking optimistic about it.

Take care friends.
