I Love Your Live Action
I was at a concert with the wife last week and she asked me if I was going to write about it on my blog to which I replied "no, because it's not part of the brief" which I guess is a bit silly as it's my blog and I can write about whatever I damn well please. Besides, I'm not really in the mood for maudlin nostalgia at the moment.
The gig in question was a performance by A Camp, a wonderful group with a stupid name fronted by The Cardigans' lead singer Nina Persson. If you've never heard of them you're not alone because apparently no one has outside of Nina's native Sweden either which explains why there were only about 50 people at the concert — they could easily have done the gig in my living room. Which is a shame as it was a bloody marvelous show and A Camp have recorded two fabulous albums full of lush, grown-up pop music that should be much better known. I hope that those who like that sort of thing will find they like this sort of thing a lot.

Is the second album as good as the first? I'm not sure even Cardigans fans know too much about these albums; they are more known in the UK mind you.
I hadn't heard of her new venture until I read this online last week

Well, a few of them would have to stand in the dining room.
A Camp have been getting quite a bit of radio play on BBC 6music. It sounds like rhubarb if rhubarb made a noise. That's a good thing.

Loving this album....the bummer round my way was that they came to Glasgow the same night as Lloyd Cole who I'd already bought tickets for....
And Nina Persson is hotter'n a poker.
Look, I'm just saying, OK...
