Alex Cameron plays a solo-billed show at Le Poisson Rouge.
The Sydney singer-songwriter makes synth-led pop and rock around darkly comic, character-driven songs, often cast through the persona of a failed entertainer. Previously a member of electronic trio Seekae, Cameron has worked with Angel Olsen, Brandon Flowers and producer Jonathan Rado, and has co-written with the Killers. Pitchfork called Forced Witness “effortlessly catchy” and “eminently creepy,” while Hot Press described Late to Set as “weird and risky.”
Le Poisson Rouge offers a versatile space where artistry meets nightlife, with a capacity of around 700 and a modular stage that adapts to diverse performances. The venue blends seated classical concerts with standing rock or DJ sets, creating a dynamic flow throughout the evening. Its design, by Walters-Storyk Design Group, ensures excellent acoustics and sightlines, allowing you to catch every detail from the front row to the back. The adjacent Gallery Bar provides a quieter spot with a small stage, perfect for more intimate moments. Expect a night that can shift from focused listening to lively dancing, with a full bar available but no full restaurant. Shows are ticketed, and buying ahead is recommended. The venue’s rich programming spans classical, indie, jazz, and more, reflecting its founders’ vision to fuse popular and art cultures in a single vibrant setting.
