The Hidden Cameras - Underage

On August 10, Brontez Purnell, frontman for garage-punk band the Younger Lovers, and his bandmate Adal Castellon were beaten outside Oakland's Club Paradiso. In Purnell's account, which he shared on Facebook and in the Bay Citizen immediately following the incident (a pending court case now limits his comments), two men followed him out of the mixed, formerly gay club, which he's frequented for years. They shouted "batty boys" (a homophobic Jamaican slur) at the two musicians and said that they would be dead if they were in Jamaica. The unknown assailants apparently perceived both men to be ...

The Hidden Cameras - Do I Belong? Origin: Orphan , l'ultimo album degli The Hidden Cameras risale ormai a un paio d'anni fa, e probabilmente è il loro meno riuscito. Ma se la band canadese passa in città, oltretutto per il tour con cui celebrano il loro decennale di carriera, non posso proprio pensare di mancare. Oltretutto Joel Gibb continua a esercitare su di me un fascino a dir poco imbaranzzante. L'appuntamento è dunque per questa sera all' Estragon (5 euro, dai!), ripassando i testi di Boys Of Melody , In The Union Of Wine e con l'impossibile speranza ...

Continuing our series in which Guardian and Observer writers pick their favourite albums – with a view you might do the same – Tim Jonze wets himself at the prospect of the Hidden Cameras The Smell of Our Own opens, as perhaps more albums should consider doing, with a tune about building a staircase to heaven made out of frozen pee. It ends with a tender love song about being wee-ed on by another man ("A warm wet yellow breeze," as lead singer and songwriter Joel Gibb puts it). This album of "gay church folk music" played by a collective of Canadian ...

It was on Sunday that I finally decided to make the most of Latitude being ‘more than just a music festival’. Having previously only popped my head into the huge array of artist pursuits available (usually to keep out of the rain.) Alongside casual trips to the painfully hit-and-miss comedy tent (I draw the line at sing-a-long Humpty Dumpty) I decided to brave the packed out Comedy tent. I always find my experience of Latitude to be similar to living in London, there is a huge expanse of rich and diverse performances available; the fact that I rarely experience these ...

Die Kanadier von The Hidden Cameras haben ein neues Video vorgelegt. "Do I Belong" heißt der Titel, der kürzlich verfilmt wurde. Er stammt von ihrem 2009 veröffentlichten Album " Origin: Orphan ", das auf dem in Toronto ansässigen Label Arts & Craft erschien. Das Video behandelt die Frage nach der Zugehörigkeit eines Menschens anhand eines ästhetisch-komisch gestalteten Tagesablaufs. Seht die Hidden Cameras kuschelnd im Bett, erhascht einen Blick auf ihre Brustbehaarung und begleitet sie in die Disco:o The Hidden Cameras - "Do I Belong" Bereits seit zehn Jahren spielt das mehr als ein Dutzend große Kollektiv um Sänger, Gitarrist und Songwriter Joel Gibb ...

The Hidden Cameras shared this new video for the 2009 Origin: Orphan song “Do I Belong?” with us over the weekend.

Hace aproximadamente dos años que The Hidden Cameras lanzaron su quinta y más reciente producción discográfica titulada Origin:Orphan, de la que ya tuvimos oportunidad de disfrutar un par de videos, lo mismo algo extraños que simples pero bien producidos. Sin embargo, no es extraño que, con diferentes pretextos, las bandas decidan producir videos en un tiempo sumamente alejado de la publicación de un disco, sobre todo para mantener la atención del público, aunque si hemos de ser sinceros, a la agrupación no le fue tan bien con esta producción, si...
