To celebrate the release of
his critically acclaimed sophomore LP Forced Witness, Alex Cameron is
teaming up with Eccles Entertainment, Under The Radar, 95bFM and Radio
Active.FM to hold two very special shows in Auckland and Wellington this coming
February.
In the last 18 months, Cameron has spent the majority of his time on the road
in the Northern Hemisphere touring with the likes of Angel Olsen, Whitney and The Killers and
garnering high praise at each turn and in turn, earning himself and Roy a hugely
dedicated following who hang from their every word.
His second LP Forced Witness sees Cameron at his most visceral, cutting best.
With Forced Witness, Cameron’s solution to the difficulties we face is a
danceable and dangerous earnestness, a sense of honesty that heals and relieves
even as it cleaves us or makes us laugh in self-defence. He’s offering
portraits of misfits’ views of the world, presented without illusion.
“Forced Witness transcends
its surface-level smarm to become a biting piece of commentary” –
Pitchfork
“It's got more than enough
power to carry you through the emotions it elicits” – The Fader
Recorded across Europe and America, and produced by Cameron along with Foxygen’s Jonathan
Rado, these tracks at first seem shamelessly entertaining, the driving rhythms
and rousing melodies embellished at every turn by Molloy’s warm horn-work.

It is with much delight that Eccles Entertainment can confirm that the wondrous Jack Ladder (solo) will open proceedings at both Alex Cameron shows in Auckland and Wellington this coming February.
Well regarded as one of Australia’s most distinctive performers, with an engaging baritone voice and finely honed song writing, Jack Ladder has released four albums since 2005. His latest single Susan is the first taste of his fifth album expected for release in 2018.
He has shared the stage with distinguished international performers such as Father John Misty, Sharon Van Etten, Florence and the Machine and recently wrapped up an extensive USA/UK tour with Alex Cameron which received rave reviews.
