Here Comes A Big Black Cloud is a garage punk band from Portland, Oregon that formed in 2005 after many of its original members fled Louisiana during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. The original line-up consisted of Nick Capello on guitar, vocals and keyboards; Soo Koelbli on bass and vocals; Travis Wainwright on drums; and Ben "Sauce" Applebaum on keyboards, theremin and vocals. Dain Marx was promptly added to the original line-up on bass, keyboards, and eventually guitar, along with a number of dancers. This line-up remained largely intact until late 2007 with the removal of the dancers, and both Applebaum and Marx exiting the band in 2010.
The band has had a number of official releases. In 2008 Recorded Records released Pompeii. In early 2009, the band formed its own label, Stankhouse Records, and released the limited edition Black Mold seven-inch. This was followed by Party Vietnam, which was released by Stankhouse in conjunction with Hovercraft Records. 2009 also saw the release of a seven-inch split with Tiny Knives. In 2010 the band released Dark Age and officially shortened their name to Big Black Cloud.
