Recommended Show: Clouder at The Flat, July 18th

 

If you’re looking forward to fireworks this year, Clouder has got you covered. The sinister rockabilly of the group’s latest single "Phantom Girl" should put a firecracker under your butt and shoot you straight off to the moon. The track launches immediately with a rattlesnake guitar snarl followed by a screaming hook where singer Eric Gilstrap calls you a ‘little girl’ repeatedly (it’s a lot more fun than you’d think). The band’s never been shy, but this new song rips things to shreds. It’s a monster of a track, and delivers the proto-punk sledgehammer action found throughout the band’s sophomore album ‘Sister Raygun’ (Fleeting Youth Records). Hear ‘Phantom Girl’ below and see the band when they play Fort Useless–SHOW HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE FLAT)–on July 18th. -Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
