The Windish Agency

Hey, we’re Cloud Control. We met in High School. We grew up in the Blue Mountains and we always get asked about that. It might influence us a little bit being from there, maybe it just makes us more chilled. We got together to enter a band competition and we weren’t that great but somehow there was always something that kept us going – community radio, local clubs, friends we made on the scene and the desire to make a record that we would listen to.

In 2011 our first album Bliss Release won the Australian Music Prize (like the Mercury but more antipodean) and we’ve been touring ever since. In the last year we played at festivals like Reading, Leeds, SXSW, Latitude, Field Day, Splendour in the Grass and more all over the world. Apart from going it alone we’ve supported some really great bands like Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire, Local Natives, Supergrass and The Drums.

Anyway, if you see that we’re playing near your town (and we probably will be) come and say hey, we love playing music and we could share that with you. When times are rough, good times become important. Forget who you are and come get lost with some friends, if you sing and dance a little it will make you feel like everything is going to be OK.
