Happy Little Clouds

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

Happy Little Clouds is the ultimate hybrid indie band that combines a familiar rock base with soulful, sometimes bluesy, female vocals, edgy guitar, punchy bass, and bouncy rhythms. They play with dynamics like a yo-yo and aren't afraid to get quiet until they slap you in the face with beats that can get even the living dead up and grooving. Passion and good musicality triumph the stage and you'll be sure to have a tune or two stuck in your head after this band is done. The Boston-based indie rock band was formed in 2010 by singer/guitarist Jac Mestel and drummer Alex Toorish. They were joined in 2014 by bassist Kelly Vaden.
