Camera Obscura ::: French Legation ::: SXSW 2009

IMG_6073

Whenever I listen to this Scottish band, a smile magically appears on my face and all the sad days go away. You add that to the magical setting that is the French Legation, and this utopia appears on a hill east of I-35. Away from the mess that is 6th and emerald hills of lush grass decorated with white tents, blue and pink outhouses, and lounging people enjoying themselves not worrying about what show was awaiting around the next corner. I love the group for the same reason I love the Raveonettes. It’s quite simple, both groups have a mastered grasp oon 60’s cool that isn’t easy to come by nor replicated by many.
