Playhouse Release New Performance Video For "Black Clouds"

Writer: Jon MarchewkaJon Marchewka


Montreal’s, Classic, Power Rocker's, Playhouse, release new performance video for their single, "Black Clouds." 


The band kicked off the celebration of their 37th Anniversary with a live show At "Cafe Campus" Montreal, Canada on the 21st September 2024. That special performance was recorded for the official video for the bands new single "Black Clouds." The live show is what Playhouse has always been about and the new video brings the best of that live dynamic for the masses to experience.





Vocalist Peter Cat: "Another beautifully made video by director, video maker, Jared Pollack. This one truly captures the essence of Playhouse and our amazing friends and fans!"


Having completed their new album, “Broken And The Damned”, working once again with legendary Canadian producer Kevin Jardine (Faith No More, Mastodon, Run DMC, Cypress Hill, Anthrax, Korn, Sepultura, Beastie Boys, 3rd Bass, Men Without Hats). This new material will appeal to the bands core fans, but will also be expressive and inviting to new listeners as well. The new album is tighter and picks up right where “Dancing With Funerals” left off. The album opens with the powerful new single “Black Clouds,” which packs the punch on a heavier edge, but still has that catchy, rock groove that has been a staple of Playhouse for almost 4 decades.


Vocalist Peter Cat On Writing “Black Clouds:”


“Black Clouds” is a song that I started writing on my couch. I brought fragments of the song to the band and our producer and they brought it to life! I suppose it’s a reflection of the times we are in; a revelation to always let the light shine through the dark moments that we all find ourselves in.“


Formed in 1987, five high school friends set out to be the biggest rock band to ever come out of Canada. With a reputation for their high energy shows and big anthems, they quickly began filling every club & theater that they played.  The band was destined for global success, selling thousands of copies of their two EP’s; 1988’s ‘Little Monster‘ and 1990’s ‘Tongue, Tied & Twisted‘. Just like so many bands in the early 90’s, the success that seemed to be theirs for the taking never fully manifested and after almost a decade of decadence and steady touring in support of such bands as Extreme, Killer Dwarfs, Lee Aaron and Harem Scarem, the band decided to call it quits. It was an end of an era………but some things never fully come to an end.


Fast forward to 2016 – the band reunites and enters the studio with veteran producer and guitarist of Slaves on Dope; Kevin Jardine, to record new songs. In 2017, for the 1st time in 25 years, Playhouse returned to the stage with a sold out comeback show in Montreal, Canada. Many high profile shows followed, including opening slots for The Dead Daisies, L.A. Guns, Buckcherry, Dizzy Reed’s Hookers & Blow, Helix, and Warrior Soul. The band also releases their first album ‘The Rock N’ Roll Circus‘ to critical acclaim in 2018 and followed that up with a single and video, ‘Revolution Tonight‘, in 2020..
