Summer Camp
The band Summer Camp, ostensibly British but otherwise a bit of a mystery, is playing at SXSW this year. Bloggers and journalists alike seem to think this band is on the precipice. I don’t know how the mechanics of popularity work but I do love their songs.
Finally, there’s Summer Camp, who came armed with nothing but a MySpace page and a couple of spectacularly lovely pop songs. Suddenly everyone cottoned on that they were very good, and the one scrap of information they did provide – that they were Swedish – might not have been true. So here’s some proper journalism for you: we found out who they are, and talked about their secret identities. Which, it turns out, were an accident.
“It wasn’t deliberate,” said one member, who nonetheless wished to stay anonymous. “We made the MySpace in two minutes and did it like that in case somebody we knew stumbled on it and laughed at us.”
