To kick off our east coast tour we’re releasing Ghost In The Shirt, the first of our full live band recordings. Once at a show in the early days, a person came up to us after our set and said it sounded like we were all individually playing a different song at the same time, it didn’t feel like it was intended as a compliment. If any of our songs exemplify this, it’s probably this one. You can stream it on our bandcamp page which is in our bio, hope you enjoy! We’re heading to Sydney tomorrow, and then Canberra on Saturday - please sus the @happytapes page for show details and ticket links if you’d like to come. New T’s and some old merch will be available ❄️ Album artwork by Alexandra Obarzanek Mastered by Joseph Buchan @other__joe

🌩 Thurs, May 21st —>> CLOUD ICE 9 + MERCY PLEASE [NAARM] @happytapes w/ local guests DAWDLE live at @seasonthreespace ! — Very stoked to present the inaugural Meanjin sojourn for Melb/Naarm wonk-lords Cloud Ice 9 and Mercy Please. Hailing from the long Naarm lockdown and a slow, fruitful gestation in the barns and attics of sharehouses, Cloud Ice 9 has blossomed into one of the most adventurous and bewildering bands of the post-covid Antipodes. “We were out the back just playing with these little keyboards for hours and hours and sort of growing the hive mind and building the weird, like, sound world or whatever.” ~ Howling brass and electronic psychedelia peppered on top of a rock n roll beat, Mercy Please reflects the blues into the modern age. They have quickly built a reputation for their powerful live shows — a mix of soaring vocals, gyrating grooves, and an undeniable energy that fills the room. Local trio Dawdle on opening support duties! 🎫 $20 - $30+bf (pay what you can) 🔗 in bio **no charge for First Nations or trans people of colour**

Tickets are live for our first ever Canberra show! Saturday 16/05 at @ganggangcafe with @oliviasworrrld & edda, presented by @sonicbusinessltd 🚨🐜🐜🐜 This clip features an outtake from our last recording session entitled “Fortress Of Corn”.

Cloud Ice 9's distinct sound is both catchy and unsettling, serving as an acknowledgment and playful acceptance of the bizarre world we live in. Always compelling and intriguing.⁠ ⁠ "[𝑤𝑒] ℎ𝑜𝑝𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑎 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘, 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑎 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒 𝑏𝑖𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑛 𝑡𝑜 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑."⁠ ⁠ They cap off a live lineup of brill live acts, including 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑳𝒖𝒔𝒕's first live performance at Misc, plus scene staples 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒂 and 𝑲𝒊𝒅𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒏.

Hey! Did u know¿? 🐳🪐 TODAY is Bandcamp Friday, a brief reprieve from the fat cats where all sales will go directly to the artists and labels you purchase from instead of taking their usual decadent slab of a cut 🥩🤠 In this window of grace (from 5pm today until sat 5pm AEST time), we’re making Ci9 merch half price. Tshirts and the new Globo record under $20. Thanks to all those who have supported us so far, we’re working on some new recordings and getting some touring going soon as well - selling merch aside from playing yet another show in naarm/Melbourne is how we make those things happen 🐌🔮 If you live local, can skip the postage and drop you direct, just swing us a message :) Best, Ci9/HT
