Ep 10: 1991 – Clouds, Died Pretty, Club Hoy – Show Notes

Posted on 26/11/202210/12/2022 by Danny Yau

Show notes, links, music and other stuff for Ep 10: 1991 music.

Clouds

The key album is Penny Century, although there’s great stuff across all their albums (I mean, there’s only three of them, plus the Octopus mini album).

The collection Favourites is really good, collecting a lot of loose singles. It’s not on digital services however.

I guess Hieronymus is still my favourite Clouds track. There’s a wicked sense of humour in the song for me, just in the subject matter.

Pretty close though is Bower Of Bliss. I mean, Clouds were such a great guitar band. The riff-o-rama here is wonderful. They were just full of ideas around this time. Maybe a little too much. I also think they looked so cool here. Jodi’s American star top is so cool.

The wonderful Dyson Stringer Cloher with the wonderful tribute to Clouds and Falling Joys with their track Falling Clouds.

Died Pretty

Doughboy Hollow is the classic album. At least for me. Other Died Pretty fans might tell you otherwise. I accept that on this one there is less consensus.

DC was the big track. I’ve heard a couple of conflicting stories about who DC actually is. Does it matter? Probably not.

Here’s the wonderful Harness Up. Goddamn anthem, this one.

Like Clouds, there’s no Died Pretty compilations on streaming services.

Club Hoy

There’s only one Club Hoy album – Thursday’s Fortune. Although there are some loose singles and things.

From that album, is the sweet Not Like That

Here’s Penny’s later ‘hit’, Lap It Up. It’s 1994 and it’s a long way from her simpler, unadorned Club Hoy days. This really sounded great on the radio.

1991 Chart

I talked about the year-end independent charts in the episode. Here’s the full list.

    Bower of Bliss is about fucking and vaginas, etc., in case that wasn’t really obvious because of the lyrics.

    It was at the Club Hoy debut single launch at the Annandale Hotel that I first saw Clouds, and I recognised the drummer Stuart from Dutiful Daughters so I went to see them again
    …
    again, and again.

    It was at Feathers in Crows Nest that they worked out that no one in the band knew me, and therefore I must be a fan, and they said hello.

    Did any of the stories you heard about DC involve statistics in any way?
