Alex Cameron, Josh da Costa

Alex Cameron and Josh da Costa share a Zebulon bill in Frogtown. The listing names the two performers separately and gives no indication that they perform as a duo or in a particular joint formation, so expect two distinct artist sets rather than a documented collaborative project. Cameron is the billed headliner, with Los Angeles musician and multi-instrumentalist da Costa also on the night’s lineup.

Sydney-born singer-songwriter Alex Cameron is known for high-concept songs built around a failed lounge-singer character also called Alex Cameron. His solo work has been described as lo-fi synth-pop, theatrical and alter-ego-driven, with songs examining ambition, failure and modern masculinity. He has worked with Angel Olsen, Brandon Flowers and Jonathan Rado, and saxophonist Roy Molloy has been a regular live collaborator. Da Costa, a Los Angeles-based musician, draws from glam rock, shoegaze, disco, house and outsider pop; he previously fronted Regal Degal and played in CMON. He has drummed with Drugdealer, Chris Cohen, Jessica Pratt and MGMT, and hosts NTS Radio’s Confusing Mix. Reviewing his New Wave Graveyard, Ghettoblaster called it “invigorating and exciting” and praised his “way with melody.”
