U.S. fans of Scottish pop rejoice! We’ve sorely missed the ‘60s girl-group stylings of
Camera Obscura on our shores, but the five-piece twee pop band from Glasgow are finally gracing us with a stateside tour this spring, in support of their new album,
Look to the East, Look to the West, out on May 3rd. The band last toured the U.S. in 2014, but they’ve weathered a lot since then, including the tragic loss of founding keyboardist Carey Lander, who passed away in 2015 from bone cancer. They took some time off to mourn and regroup, but kept in touch, and played the Boaty Weekender, Belle and Sebastian’s seaside cruise festival, in 2019. But this year marks a full-fledged return to new and live music, which so far includes a UK tour, some festival dates in Mexico City, and hopefully more to come.
Camera Obscura (26 July 2014)

We’re happy to have the Scottish band back in Minneapolis, having last seen the group in
July 2014: “Tracyanne Campbell was in good spirit. Apparently, they don't have "Pedal Pubs" in Scotland, as Campbell quipped, "Yeah, that thing wouldn't last two minutes in Glasgow!" Camera Obscura's set was basically the same set they've been playing throughout the country. Half of the songs were taken from Desire Lines and My Maudlin Career, both albums available via 4AD Records.”
Photo Ops will be support for this upcoming Camera Obscura USA tour.

You guys know we love
Sonic Youth… so we’re really excited to see that
Kim Gordon is touring in support of her second solo album
The Collective. The album is described as “daring beats and improvised guitar are marks of a lifelong radical still at the peak of her powers” as well as “vicious and brilliant..a maelstrom of mundane thoughts and funny asides and flashes of pure rage whipped into a heavy, unnerving fog”.
Experience all that and more at this upcoming show at the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on June 7, 2024.
