In early 2014 it was announced that CLOUDKICKER, one of prog’s most enigmatic and mysterious artist, would tour North America with post prog metallers, INTRONAUT, as his backing band. Message boards and the blogsphere went crazy over this announcement, as CLOUDKICKER, aka, Ben Sharp, had vowed the band would never play live. The two bands piled into a van and every night played to an overzealous fanbase who knew they were experiencing a perhaps once in a lifetime opportunity.
For those unfortunate ones who missed a show, the band stopped off at Texas recording studio, The Fathom Tree, and played the set start to finish live and captured it all on tape. Century Media is proud to release “CLOUDKICKER – Live With Intronaut”, from this recording session. The album will be in stores on November 24th.
“Live With Intronaut” track-listing:
1. Subsume Part 1
2. Subsume Part 2
