Two nights in a row of Scottish twee pop music!
Last night I went to the Black Cat to see Scottish band Camera Obscura and DC locals Georgie James play. It was a good crowd for a Sunday night.
First off, Laura Burhenn of Georgie James is really hot!Since the last time I saw them, they have written several new songs. I do like their poppy grooves and they have a lot of energy live. John Davis mentioned that they are
in the midst of recording tracks for an album release. I look forward to that. Some of their new songs were pretty good. Touring with Camera Obscura will definitely get them some more exposure across the country.
I loved Camera Obscura!Their new record, "Let's Get Out of This Country" is currently getting a lot of iPod play for me, and I was really excited to see them live.
They remind me of what I loved about early Belle & Sebastian. Lead singer, Tracyanne Campbell is a cutey- she's really tiny, and her voice is so beautiful.The band has a really full sound live as well. When they did the title track, they threw in a few verses of "Call Me Al" by Paul Simon.
I had a great weekend of Scottish bands! Scotland's for me!

Even though I was far stage right, I still obstructed views. No one likes tall people at shows. An idea I had for my short cousin was to make her a box to stand on at shows in case of these situations:

Missed the show. If I had been there it would have been two tall people obstructing the views. I look at it this way, if you get there before me, you won't stand behind me.
