Camera Obscura Blog: All
29 November 2009
Hello, having realised that i haven’t actually blogged yet (woops) i thought that was something i should rememdy now. so i am currently sitting in the back lounge of the tourbus on the way to Chicago for a day off. Everyone else is still sleeping, but i’m up cause i find it impossible to sleep when the bus is moving, and moving it currently is. last night was Milwaukee, which was exciting for us for a whole host of reasons, not in the least cause we’d never played there before, but also cause we grew up with Happy Days and Tracyanne is a massive fan of Laverne and Shirley (she even has the board game). So it was with some excitement that she got her picture taken with the Bronze Fonz. Now that is a statue and a half. Its up there with the Rocky Balboa statue that was in Philly, but the people actually want it there, rather than it just being left after a filming cause, “I thought you’d appreciate it” then people didn;t seem to appreciate it and it got removed, poor old rocky (still need to run up those steps one of these days). So anyway, we really enjoyed the show, the crowd were lovely, and as well as our currrent support Papercuts, we were joined on the bill by our summer tour support Agent Ribbons and their Auntie Lisa, which was great. Its nice when bands that have supported us in the past happen to be passing by on tour too and can make a show, either playing with us again or just hanging out. Its a bit like when old companions re-appear in Doctor Who. Fantastic! Anyway, whilst i’m wittering away, last night’s guest list was jam packed, normally we wouldn’t go printing up the guest list, but it was so exciting last night we feel obligated to put it in print for posterity:
Mr C
Marion Cunningham
Richie Cunningham +1
Joanie + Chachi
Fonz +10
Pottsy (not the guy from Monaco)
Ralph Malph
Arnold
Al
Pinkie Tuscadero
Laverne and Shirley +2
You should have seen who came to see us in Dallas.

Yes. Thanks for coming to Rochester. Honestly, I didn’t expect you to come to Rochester. I was so excited, even couldn’t sleep after hugging Tracyanne. It was almost surreal! Love you, Tracyanne! Love you, Camera Obscura!

Hi Guys, love love the new CD. I just moved to Milwaukee and were psyched to see you live. The crowd was great, but to let you know the sound was awful! Agent Ribbons sounded good, but the Papercuts and you were the worst. The vocals become just tonal nonsense. I could not take it and left, sadly. I love the lyrics on all your records and missed the energy without it. I asked the hall what was up? They said when the band brings their own sound person it usually sucks. The sound guys for the hall mix the monitors way down. Did the hall’s sound guys mix Agent Ribbons? They sounded clear. I was so excited to finally see you, and was so dissapointed.
Anyway, glad you liked the fonz. I am liking my new hometown. Please come back soon, the crowd loved you, but switch venues or let them mix it.
missing in milwaukee…

No blogging about T.O. show? Awww. Well I was at the Toronto show @ Lee’s Palace on Nov 26/09. Once again, fantastic but most of all I was more familiar with the new songs this time around than when C.O. were in Toronto back in June 2009. Love, love “Forest & Sands” (you guys, should do country-ish tunes more often). I Blogged about the show and have a link to some photos I shot:
