Alex Cameron

“An artist of subconscious power and candour” – even Russell Crowe’s a fan of Alex Cameron. Touring Australia in March 2020, Cameron’s brash, tender pop and gift for narrative makes him one of music’s most exciting modern songwriters. Raised in Sydney but now residing in the US, Miami Memory is Cameron’s acclaimed third album, out now.

‘Without sacrificing the high quality and slick production of his music, Alex Cameron takes a challenging stance on male behaviour and makes it a highly entertaining spectacle’ – theskinny.co.uk ★★★★

Brisbane fans: Frontier Touring and I OH YOU are pleased to announce that Cameron's Brisbane show on Saturday 7 March at The Outpost is now officially sold out!

Cameron and band will perform on Sunday 8 March at The Outpost, Brisbane, with tickets to this newly added date on sale now via frontiertouring.com/alexcameron.

Sydneysiders: get in quicksmart! Less than 50 tickets remain to his performance at the Factory Theatre on Friday 6 March.

Supporting Alex Cameron at all headline shows in Australia is Melbourne’s Spike Fuck, whose debut EP Smackwave recently dropped on vinyl. Highlighted by Sydney’s FBi 94.5 in 2019 as one of the station’s ‘Independent Artist Of The Week’, Spike Fuck’s candid lyrics and bold, post-punk pop inspired sound addresses drug addiction and heartbreak, and saw her sign to Partisan Records last year. Check out tracks such as the addiction/exile tale ‘Body By Crystal’, ‘Tomorrow We Get Healthy’ or ‘Junkie Logic’. Spike describes her music as “a blend of late ‘80s new wave and late ‘70s post-punk with a dash of country music/singer-songwriter sensibilities delivered in Las Vegas Ballroom karaoke vocal style.”

Cameron’s last tour down under in February 2018 saw venue upgrades after tix flew out the door – grab your tickets now. Don’t miss Alex Cameron touring live in March 2020!

Frontier Touring and I OH YOU are delighted to announce the return of Alex Cameron, performing four headline shows in Australia and New Zealand – Sydney, Brisbane, Wellington and Auckland – in March 2020. The tour comes in support of Cameron’s recently released acclaimed third album, Miami Memory (out now via Secretly Canadian).

On track to perform over 100 shows in 2019 with his band – including sax player and collaborator Roy Molloy – the Sydney-born singer and songwriter (now residing in the US) is one of music’s most exciting indie artists. His last tour to AU/NZ in February 2018 saw venue upgrades after tix flew out the door – fans are encouraged to move fast on these new shows.

Diving headfirst into authenticity with Miami Memory (released in September 2019), Cameron’s latest listen is a love letter to his long-term partner and collaborator, artist and “Girls” actor Jemima Kirke. Bitingly funny, musically expansive and at times lustful, hilarious, vulnerable and tender, on his latest release Cameron delivers his most personal songs yet… all with the same genre-busting, brash pop narrative nous he’s infamous for. Steeped in modern day romance, tracks such as ‘Divorce’, ‘Far From Born Again’, ‘Miami Memory’ and ‘Stepdad’ see Alex Cameron at his wildly subversive and hand-on-heart best.

‘Tender, playful, and occasionally just plain triumphant’ – popmatters.com

‘If there is a contemporary artist who can successfully balance cliché and thought-provoking pop music, it’s Cameron’ – undertheradarmag.com

‘Who would have thought that satire on incels and men’s rights activists sung by a man with slicked-back hair, no eyebrows and bad sunglasses could be so sexy? … Seeing Alex Cameron live isn’t a once in a lifetime experience. It’s a pleasure to be sampled again and again, by any means necessary.’ – London In Stereo

‘‘From the time that Cameron hit the stage at the Phoenix the crowd instantly lost it, and for good reason … Make sure you catch this amazing entertainer live, his stage performance is always amazing’ – canadianbeats.ca

Cameron’s 2014 debut record Jumping The Shark and 2017’s Forced Witness saw him hailed as a (at times controversial) voice to watch. The Killers’ frontman Brandon Flowers took notice, enlisting him to co-write five tracks on the band’s fifth album, Wonderful Wonderful. Now, Cameron has dropped the laconic, hypermasculine role-playing of his first two solo releases for Miami Memory’s golden-hued, from-the-heart modern pop.

“When you listen to these songs, and you’re waiting for the twist, or the joke, or any kind of discomfort, I can assure you none of those things were there when I wrote them,” he says. “Miami Memory is the story of a couple balancing sex with contemporary family values… It’s my gift to my girlfriend, a symbol to hoist on the totem of love.”
