A new review of Oh, You has been posted on Allmusic. We’re glad to see someone finally picked up on the Electric Light Orchestra reference! Jeff Lynne is so cool.

“Oh, You by Camera-Head Shark is an absolutely terrific Beatles inspired collection of eleven songs co-written by pianist Ry Smith and guitarist/vocalist “George Kalivas with the exception of the manic, neo-George Harrison-ish “Abeya” which has Luke Shaljian contributing with the duo on the songwriting.

Snow Day.

// February 22nd, 2008 // No Comments » // news

Long Island got its first real snow storm today. As a result, we’ve had to cancel our trip to Albany to perform at Valentine’s with Sgt. Dunbar & The Hobo Banned for their big In The Aeroplane Over The Sea 10th anniversary cover-tribute-set-show-thing. WE WERE SO PUMPED TO PLAY THIS SHOW. Mostly ’cause we dig Sgt. Dunbar and the other band playing, Perkasie. There’s just too much powder and potential ice out there; inclement elements!

 Sorry to inconvenience anyone who was planning on making the trip to see us play. It’s our first show cancellation–kind of a drag.

 If all goes according to plan, we WILL be playing another show with The Hobo Banned at the end of March, somewhere in New York City! Stay tuned, kra kra kra kra kra kra kra.

Happy New Year!

// January 1st, 2008 // No Comments » // news

We hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. We cannot believe the decade is almost over.

 2008 is important for us. We’ve got our first tour being scheduled for February, and at some point we’ll release another album and do (hopefully) a summer and fall tour.

Kick off the New Year with a live music performance this Friday in Bethpage! It’s at Whoville Bar & Grill, and starts at 9PM. Also playing is The Fearless.

We’d love to see everyone at a show before the tour starts! Auld Lang, baby.
