 ALEX CAMERON @ NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS UNION

WEDNESDAY 13 APRIL 2022

W/ SEAN NICHOLAS SAVAGE

 


The Kids Are Solid Gold bring esteemed Australian singer-songwriter Alex Cameron to Newcastle in April with an intimate show at Newcastle University Students Union in support of the singer’s new album, Oxy Music, released in March. Cameron initially adopted the onstage persona of a failed musician and is still known for his often intensely brooding live shows. He is joined on the night by Canadian singer-songwriter Sean Nicholas Savage known for his varied musical styles and poetic lyrics who has been described as a madcap philosopher.

Originally from Sydney, Alex Cameron released his debut album, Jumping The Shark, in 2013 and has since toured extensively including support tours with Mac Demarco, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Angel Olsen amongst others. Jumping The Shark was re-released in 2016 after Cameron struck up a friendship with Killers singer Brandon Flowers, securing song writing credits on a number of latter-day Killers tracks. Cameron’s own second album, Forced Witness, was released in 2017 followed by Miami Memory in September 2019.

With each new chapter of his music career Cameron has sought to reinvent and evolve using social injustices, male masculinity and sexual culture to inform his trademark caricatures and arch lyrical twists ensuring his audiences can always expect something new and inventive at every show.

Henry Rollins has described Cameron as, “an ever so slightly more well-adjusted Scott Walker.”

"It Started With A Cracked Screen" Do your research about where NOT to go to get your phone or computer fixed #consumer #tech #mobilephone #repairs

It's just a crack in the screen...... Not my usual kind of blog post. The smartphone has become part of everyday life. For a business like mine it had opened up new avenues to spread the word about my clients as a PR. I found some of these shut suddenly when my phone hurtled to the kitchen floor. Just a cracked screen. I worried the phone may cost a fortune to fix, but got similar quotes from about 3 people and so when one of them called back promising a 48 hr turnaraound, and 6 months warranty, I thought, I could trust the friendly voice of "John" at the other end of the line. The UPS driver arrived within 10 minutes and my phone was in a padded envelope off to Elite Phones And Computers in Manchester. This was a mistake. I hadn't checked the reviews online, something I always do, and warn other when I find the bad ones.  I sent the phone on Friday and on Monday checked on progress, using the on-site messaging service the company prefers to use instead of ema...

The Stagg Do 5 years in the making, written by an American (James DeMarco) , about Geordies, starring Geordies, with Geordie music and with a premiere screened on Westgate Road at the O2 Academy, this was truly a local affair. The story, about a camping trip involving a groom, his best man and his mates takes a turn for the uncomfortable when the father-in-law to be joins the group. Staggy, played by Andrew Stagg is being chaperoned by his fiancee's (Charlotte, played by Therase Neve) father, "The Judge". Daddy-in-law to be, is played by Bill Fellows, a familiar face on many TV series and films. This scuppers the plans of best-man Pob, and pals Si (Simon Buglass) and Radgy (Craig Conway), who really wanted the trip to evolve into a "beer and titties" extravaganza. Much silliness, drug references, the funny things that can happen, in the dark, in the Northumberland countryside add up to an enjoyable romp enhanced greatly by a fabulous soundtrack provided ent...

#livereview Gary Lucas at The Cluny

Live Review:  Gary Lucas at The Cluny, Newcastle Still buzzing from a standing ovation in Liverpool the night before, Gary opened the show with a cover: I Remember .The rich sound came from his “distressed” acoustic guitar which he claimed was older than him .  Gary filled in between songs with history and amazing anecdotes. He was an anglophile in New York.  He studied at Yale. He loved the Move. He reminisced about John peel breaking Beefheart in U.K.  He saw Beefheart in New York. Interviewed Don Van Vliet for student radio whilst majoring in English Literature. Beefheart was bigger in Europe and Australia rather than in the US, but he knew then he wanted to perform with them. The next song was on electric. Evening Bell was a finger-picking  master class. He’s kept the explosive, disjointed quality of the song as he was instructed to play it all those years ago.  He talked about working as record company advertising executive....
