Camera Obscura, Coming to Cedar Cultural Center, May 30th
Wow! They could not have picked a more appropriate venue to showcase their sound in the lovely city of Minneapolis! Here is my recommendation…when Camera Obscura comes to the Cedar, grab a group of wine loving friends, sit them down with a nice red and enjoy the smooth sound of Camera Obscura. These guys (and gals) have been making good pop music for nearly a decade, yet they have managed to omit the drama we have all gotten use to from the tabloids. There’s something to be said for that kind of staying power in a pop-world where band member run to a solo career at the first sniff of recognition. For those of you that cringe at the idea of “good pop music” , let me present the criteria which I use to make such a judgment call. First off, the songs must induce the involuntary head bobble to its beat. Next, a few good lines in the chorus that imprint in my brain and find their way to my voice and out again. Finally, the lyrics- while at times may teeter on the lines of sugary sweetness- may never trigger my gag reflex. Simple formula…I think.
Watch and listen to Camera Obscura play “If Looks Could Kill”
