    seriously now, i implore you! if you get the chance to see this guy live, DO IT! I saw him open for UMO, had no idea who he was. He was walking around the bar in a huge Texan cowboy hat and dollar store looking suit, next thing hes on stage with a beat machine and 1 guy playing sax, and absolutely murdered the room with his moves, and random stories in between songs..

    My 3 year old is obsessed with Alex Cameron's music b/c I'm always playing it etc; and I think in Runnin' Outta Luck he does some more of his usual dancing, but she kept asking .."Mommy why is he squatting???" and I said, "It's just part of his dance..." (trying to keep a straight face.) And now whenever she sees the thumbnail for Mongrel, she makes me play it and tries to dance like Alex...sorry for the long comment but I think it's really funny/cute and we love your music !!!

    Just saw him open up for Thee Oh Sees at The Chapel here in SF. Someone on this comment list said "murdered the room" - which is spot on for what we experienced. Given the "genre" of the preceding opener and Thee Oh See's - which is post-punk, surf grunge - AC was a complete curve ball. At first - the audience was kind of stunned but then he just slayed it. A real original feel despite the comparisons to Byrne, Bowie, Nick Cave, Jagger and of course Christian Bale. I'd go see him for a whole show and pay top dollar. Hope he can jump the shark in the business and get the recognition he deserves.
