Camera Obscura at Lee's; Saturday June 27, 2009
I was going to write a bit about them and I had absolutely nothing to say. I think it was because I didn't really enjoy their set.
I liked their songs, actually love their songs. They're cute, watching them is like stepping back to a high school dance in the fifties. But you're spot on in that they were a little flat. I was surprised that the most upbeat songs that make me want to dance (and I'm no dancer) didn't even provoke a smile out of the lead singer.
I thought they sounded great live, but there was nothing to their live show. So why don't I just listen to the CD... On an up note, their conversion from string arrangements to live show really translated well... The trumpet worked really nicely. I also really loved their end to their set. I thought they'd just end on "Hey Lloyd" but they launched into another ditty... The ending completely blew me away with the messy guitars and the trumpet.
The ending was "Razzle Dazzle Rose"
