 The Girls From The Clouds. From left: Jodi Phillis (Electric Guitar), Patricia Young (Bass), Tim Oxley (Drums). Clouds were an indie rock band from Sydney, Australia formed in December 1989.

The line up of Clouds changed several times with different drummers and lead guitarists. According to many observers, Stuart Eadie was by far the strongest drummer in the band's changing line-up, likened to John Bonham in his power.
