Candy & The Raincloud (RIP)

About Me

2006 : Mr Raincloud met Miss Caroline. They were both very busy in other projects.

2007 : Early 2007 Miss Caroline's other project ended/ Late 2007 Mr Raincloud had a bit of a problem... there was no candy left anymore. He had no choice but to go back to the drawing board...

2008 : Mr Raincloud had a brainwave. He called up Miss Caroline and the result was Candy & The Raincloud as it is today! A completely new sound. A completely new direction. Now they've begun work on their first EP together.

A single is planned for release at the Spring/Summer border and they intend to gig regularly all over the country before the year is out!!!
