Sydney's Cameras have been favourites of BobbySix.com for a while now and 2011 could be the year when they become yours too. With an LP and a US tour on the horizon, these are exciting times. Guitarist/vocalist Fraser Harvey tells us a bit about the band:
I generally try and avoid having to describe Cameras' sound to people. It's better if they just listen to it and work it out for themselves - so I'm going to have to recommend going with that.
We take inspiration from a lot of different things, certainly not always musical.
Sydney is located at 33.52 S latitude and 151.13 E longitude. This is generally the case all of the time.
I'm currently listening to a lot of classical actually. We are getting ready to record so I generally like to switch off to most of what's happening in the world of current music at this point of the process and hear something completely different. Mostly Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev, but there's a little bit of Kate Bush ticking over too.
It might surprise people to learn that our drummer Ben was a second runner up in the Chelsea Flower Show in 2003.
This year will be busy. Our LP will be coming out around September, we'll be touring the US throughout October and some of November, and then coming back [to Austraila] for a tour hopefully.
Hear some tracks from Cameras at their Myspace page. We recommend Defeatist. It's brilliant. Also, check out the video for June below (you can get a free download of it here)
Interview by Rob Townsend
Update: shortly after we posted this interview, Cameras announced that they will definitely release their debut full-length album this year, on Speak N Spell through Inertia. We've been banging the Cameras drum for ages now, so this news excites us. Remember, you heard about them here first.
