July 9th, 2019
Hey all. It's been a while, and we're glad to finally be able to share about some things with you all! First off, we're proud to announce that we had a successful show in Tokyo thanks to our dear friend Andrei, who you may know as a previous member of Coast. We performed there on December 28th, 2018, one day after we arrived in Japan. Talk about jet lag problems! But thanks to Andrei's connections, we were able to play a show in Shibuya with the local scene, titled "No Borders" to signify that no matter what music genre you play, music can always bring people together. We were the only band from the U.S.A and truly wanted to live up to the name of the show. It was a fantastic time, and I hope we can do it again! We have some footage and will share later, so stay tuned.
After Japan, things admittedly sort of slowed down for us. Our guitarist, Andrew, started a new job, and other things came into play that cut into our time for performing shows. But...! That does not mean that we are on hiatus. Music is still always on our minds, and recently we were able to play another show at Bar Con. We are very happy that the crowd was still able to enjoy our music (thank you for coming!) Right now, we are working on content related to music: new songs and vocal covers. We hope to be able to share them soon! Anyways, that's it for this update. Hope to see you around soon! |
May 16, 2017 - Rock in Japan Festival Reviews Us
Shout out to Rock in Japan Festival, one of Japan's largest music festivals! Thank you for the shout out, review, and for adding us into the potential roster for indie bands!
Translation: "This band, hailing from San Francisco, California, writes their songs in Japanese. Listening to the intro, it's as if you're with your friends, driving along the coastline with the salty sea breeze blowing through an open window. Looking at the song as a whole, the tune is very refreshing, while having negative/melancholic lyrics. The feeling and message behind the song "Nan to Naku" (For An Unknown Reason) is something that is very relatable to a majority of the Japanese population, maybe even more so for young women. From being locked and lost with no direction, the feeling of wanting to express "I want to be with you, but for some reason I can't change my heart anymore" to "you" and the existence of "you" is what this song means to us."

February 22, 2017 - Sad News
Our bass player Erikson has just announced his leave from the band due to his desire to focus on his new career. Though we are very sad to see him leave, we understand and support him all the way. Thank you all to our fans and Erikson's fans for all the support and we hope you all do the same for him and his career.

October 23, 2016 - Music Video tonight for new song "Karma"
We in Coast in the Clouds teamed up with producer Dibur of United Potato Studios, director Timothy Leung of Muffintank Studios, apparel company The Creators Guild, artist Jyunhh, and Dovetail Strings UK to release a new music video for our new song, "Karma"! We're very excited to share this with you guys, so please stay tuned tonight for the premiere of "Karma"!
This song will serve as the introduction to the whole story concept of our upcoming EP about a broken couple who wake up one day in an abstract world. With everything that has happened in the back of their minds and overwhelming feelings, the two have to cope in this world alone together, even if it's tough. |
October 2, 2016 - New EP in the works
Long time, no see, guys! It's been quite a while since our last update, but that doesn't mean we've been lazy! We have been hard at work at a new 3-track EP that we will drop around the end of December! It's been so hard for us not to share any music, especially cause we're so excited, but we promise that it's worth the wait. BUT, as a little teaser, here is a preview of our new song "Karma". We hope you enjoy this little short!
With love,
Coast in the Clouds
