Foggy Notions presents: Camera Obscura The Last Post Dj Kool Drool Whelan's, Dublin Sunday August 20, 8pm til late Tix:15euro (plus booking fee) from WAV Tickets , City Discs & Road Records. Tracyanne Campbell's resiliently moody pop poetry spills themes of heartache, independence, bitterness, post break-up defiance and vulnerability with frightening ease. And yet the music around her is altogether more off-the-wall; a cacophony of brass and church organs and surging indie-pop set to seductively old-fashioned melodies. Jari Haapalainen gives Camera Obscura a Stockholm production that glistens like ice. Throw in some Lloyd Cole and a touch of Dory Previn and we have an almost perfect third album; Let's Get Out Of This Country. Their first and second albums are pretty ace too! Tracyanne Campbell - guitar and vocals Carey Lander - piano, organ and vocals Kenny McKeeve - guitar, mandolin, harmonica and vocals Gavin Dunbar - bass Lee Thomson - drums Nigel Baillie - trumpet and percussion www.camera-obscura.net The Last Post. Lordy. More big, bold pop music that resonates sadness. Dust off two great Irish albums; Love Lost and Dry Land and prepare yourself for the re-emergence of Alan Kelly, with a new band, and new songs. It'll be an event. www.lastpost.net And then dance the night away with Kool Drool and her Foggy Fairytales. www.myspace.com/kooldrool
