Hidden Cameras mp3 and Video

| USOUNDS

Toronto’s Hidden Cameras just released a new orch-pop LP called, Awoo that was recorded at the Gas Station on Toronto Island. Here’s an mp3 from the album called, Death of a Tune.

The Video for Awoo has a scary, dark, woodsy, Blair Witch setting to it. Except for when the fireworks, sparklers and overall gayness kick in during the chorus. Close to a perfect video indeed.

Seriously one of the greatest live bands:
11/14/06 – Cambridge, MA @ Middle East
11/15/06 – New York, NY @ Bowery Ballroom
11/16/06 – Salisbury, MD @ Salisbury University

We have concluded that Art Brut did not contribute to the Wild Animus Soundtrack so it’s legitimate to like them again. Check out the video for Good Weekend where Eddie Argos can be found lounging with his brand new girlfriend in speedos. And the Formed A Band video will surely answer your innately undying question about how this band would look animated. (The answer: Really average.)

Brand New Tour:
Sept 21 / Studio A / Miami, FL
Sept 22 / Club Downunder / Tallahassee, FL
Sept 23 / One Eyed Jack’s / New Orleans, LA
Sept 24 / Warehouse Live / Houston, TX
