DGWGO Roving Reporter Martin Johnston went along along to a recent rehearsal of Cammy Black, ahead of this much loved band’s appearance at The Vintage Lounge on 6th September 2013
The band are a mix of very differing characters, but as a whole they combine to make some great music, Watch this space all….This is Cammy Black.
Michael has put together a wee report and some images.
‘Working Class Rock n Roll for the New Generation’
After years of bedroom song writing coupled with a burning determination to down tools, 26 year old brickie by day, Cammy Black introduces his mix of the casual and the epic to the world.
Armed with a band borne from studio sessions and coincidence, they have emerged to take the live scene by storm while quickly gathering national interest via social media and word of mouth.
A roof blowing support performance at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow added to a quickly growing live reputation and immediately secured a headline slot at Scotland’s most coveted live venue.
Debut EP Last Minute Man quickly sold over a thousand copies digitally and sold out its first physical pressing at its launch. Followed up with the live anthem, ‘Wild Eyes’ through digital release, the songs and accompanying videos are gaining massive appreciation from an increasingly global audience.
A new batch of material, recorded in a live environment to capture the spirit of the shows is currently being completed with an intended late 2013 release.
Cammy Black’s plan is to push his working class rock n roll across Scotland and beyond with a band matching his desire to build a long lasting relationship with a loyal and ever growing fan base.
