In support of his third and most recent album 'Miami Memory', Australian synth-pop champion Alex Cameron is making his much-awaited NZ comeback this March 2020. He is set to wow eagerly-awaiting fans at Wellington's Meow Venue and Auckland's The Tuning Fork.
Diving headfirst into authenticity with 'Miami Memory' (released in September 2019), Cameron's latest listen is a love letter to his long-term partner, collaborator and 'Girls' actor, Jemima Kirke. The record is considered to be bitingly funny, musically expansive and at times lustful, hilarious, vulnerable and tender. It is where he 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 Cameron at his wildly subversive and hand-on-heart best.
"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
After playing a series of epic concerts to packed out venues worldwide, Cameron has become one of music's most exciting indie artists. His 2014 debut record 'Jumping The Shark' and 2017's 'Forced Witness' saw him hailed as a voice to watch. He had just recently 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... It's my gift to my girlfriend, a symbol to hoist on the totem of love." - Alex Cameron
Book your tickets quick and let Alex Cameron dazzle you with his heart-on-his-sleeve performances, live this March 2020!
