[lastfm]Camera Obscura[/lastfm] is not your average dark-room optical device anymore, these Scotties have been playing music since 1996. Straight outta Glasgow, you seriously haven’t heard anything quite like the voice of lead singer Tracyanne Campbell. They’re playing day two of Coachella, April 17th. Lucky for you, Obscura just dodged the volcanic ash — they’re currently on tour and just finished up in Mexico this past Tuesday, so they won’t be stuck at a UK airport like some of the other bands playing this weekend.
