WHIP CRACK, HE'S BACK: CAM & CO. IN SAN FRANCISCO



Alex’s voice, fit with he extremely good looking Roy Malloy’s seductive dulcet tones, grace in and out of the mix to tease you out of that shitty mood and retrofit you with a smile. The show is intimate and collected whilst the instruments sound incredibly real-to-record as the ensemble hit everything like a well oiled machine. The performance however is something else entirely. Somewhere between guilty pleasure music and a dark alternate reality, built on binary codes and structured on synth and sax, it resembles a futuristic but lactic agglomeration, something that everyone (except those intolerant to nutritious sounds) can enjoy. Interspersed between this are witty and charming tip bits of humanity, stories and allegories about the weird part of our virtual world, chunks of Alex himself to a degree, that are enough to make you chuckle and forget yourself for a moment. 

The only thing missing, from an otherwise flawless gig, was a stool review, was it a dangerous three legger? A well engineered steel number with a reinforced coupling? Or did Malloy stand!? We will never know… just another mystery added to the elaborate rasa that is Alex Cameron.
