Glasgow, United Kingdom (1996 – present)
There are at least two Camera Obscuras. One is an indie pop band from Glasgow. The other is a new wave hardcore punk band from San Diego.
1. Camera Obscura is an indie pop band which formed in 1996 in Glasgow, Scotland. Currently the band consists of Tracyanne Campbell (vocals, guitar), Kenny McKeeve (guitar), Carey Lander (keyboards), Gavin Dunbar (bass) and Lee Thomson (drums).
The band was formed in 1996 by Tracyanne Campbell, John Henderson, and Gavin Dunbar and released their debut album Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi in 2001. Camera Obscura released a second album, Underachievers Please Try Harder, the following year, and in September, 2005, the band started recording their next album, named Let’s Get out of This Country, with producer Jari Haapalainen. This album was released on June 06, 2006 and appeared high up in many critical lists of the ‘best albums of 2006’.
In November 2008, the band announced that they have completed recording the follow-up to Let’s Get Out of This Country, and that the new album would be released in 2009. In February 2009, it was announced that the band had signed to the label 4AD, who released their fourth album, called My Maudlin Career, on April 20, 2009.
2. Camera Obscura is not pulling any punches: they’re out to rock you so hard you fall onto the dance floor.

what is the big deal about that pic? I love that video and I love that song (and in case some may not know, that sign is a lyric in the song "keep it clean")

All in all, it's only a pic. I do prefer pics of the whole band, though.

I like it, but I though it meant although she doesn't want to be part of your scene, she wants you to be part of hers. And what's wrong with that? She is in a band after all. Perhaps, I'm reading to much into it?

lmao, that picture is lame

I hate the "I don't want to be part of your scene" pic as a default, with so much passion. I get that people find Tracyanne to be 'awesome and whatnot, and oh my, look, she's holding up a sign and that's like sooo cool; ', but remember that Camera Obscura is more than Tracyanne and that bloody hipster sign she's holding up.
