Penny Century is the second album I ever bought, after Dolittle. Amazed me then and still does now. This is easily the best track on that album, though the rest are awesome, this has something special, a raw emotion that floods through your entire experience and then ties it back up in a neat little package. Fantastic work.
Hi. I'd like to PM you...not good with You Tube system...you gave an alternative ID, not nzoz, but I'm not sure how to friend that ID. Can you PM me? I'd like to make some suggestions for uploads and get info off of you.
Penny Century: bloody classic. the chick who did all their cover art was cool too. She did it all for them for a while a think. The dancing in this is just supposed to be fun man! It's like run pussycay run or something
I saw them support Crowded House in Sydney at the state theatre. They had a terrible mix and was rather disappointed in them but then saw them later at the Annandale. They were Genius.
my first gig (well after johnny diesel and the injectors played my high school) was an awsome line up at the Hordern of: the clouds, Falling Joys, Ride, and Ratcat.
Managed to be overseas twice when they came to WA. I doubt I'll ever recover from missing the clouds live.
Penny Century was the theme music to my early twenties. When my married up mates and their kids have bbqs and parties these days, I wait till things get dull (they inevitably do these days...sigh) and I put on Penny Century...
KAPOW!!
You will never see a bunch of domesticated Gen-X's fire up quicker - the nostalgia, the freedom, the fun, the nineties....
Never failed to miss a show, from Canberra to Newcastle and Sydney, including both farewell concerts @ the metro, they only time disappointed- when they broke up. How good would it be to see them in their original inception once again!!!! F**king fantastic!
Probably used to see you at the gigs! I was the rabid chick always front & centre. Was massively pregnant at the Futura gigs due to the child being due the first night (didn't arrive so went to the next gig as well). Nothing like a bit of moshpit action to get the contractions happening!
You rock! thanks for posting all the fantastic music from the Clouds...it's been sooo long. My CDs and tapes (yes i think I had thunderhead on cassette) were all stolen some years back....so milles mercis... you've brought the Clouds flooding right back - one of my fav bands from the 90s...
the 90's???? thought they were earlier than that from the sound _ sorry, I am only just discovering them

The clouds followed closely by the pixies were the only bands I liked coming out of high school.

I still toss Penny Century on every once in a while and have people asking "who's THAT?" in a good way :)

This is my favourite Clouds song. Still listen to it regularly even today - dated better than Heironymus I think.

I was there too! Remember when the falling joys sang lock it and everyone had their arms in the air swaying and singing? It still gives me goosebumps

Hola SeahorseMairi,
You rock! thanks for posting all the fantastic music from the Clouds...it's been sooo long. My CDs and tapes (yes i think I had thunderhead on cassette) were all stolen some years back....so milles mercis... you've brought the Clouds flooding right back - one of my fav bands from the 90s...
Is it still possible to purchase their music?

I'm sure you can find them if you hunt around, also there are usually some discs to be found on Ebay ...

Great post. Still sounds sensational after all these years. The wild guitar riff always peeled paint of walls at the 'dale in times long ago.
