Hidden Camera's (No Moz but musical!)

[Ruffian]

Always one to explore musical boundaries.. I came across this band the other day.. bunch of Candid Canadians I believe.. have an album called 'The Smell of our own'. From what I heard similar, to the Polyphonic Spree. I found the following intriguing snippet (how can anyone not be intrigued!) anyone shed any light, or seen them??

"Typically playing in churches and porn theaters, this musical commune earned its reputation from hyperactive and celebratory performances drenched in cathartic revelry, often making use of semi-naked go-go dancers to keep the audience on its toes. Drawing on his Baptist upbringing and the music of his youth ("goth, punk and pop music"), Gibb writes all the songs. Musically, the ever-expansive group is equal parts Phil Spector-like symphonies and twee-happy pop psalms set in church.

Oh Grim, you are a clever swine. Gibbs? Maybe something to so with the Dead ones! I have since found out, after rushing in to purchase this album on the basis of some dodgy downloads.. They're an out gay band as well. which may reduce their appeal to the wider audience somewhat.

I'm in Canada and saw them this past weekend. They are great live.
They are on Rough Trade. Here is their website where you can hear some of their songs.

from what i understand they are the gay equivalent of the polyphonic spree, about 10 people walk on stage at their gigs...and they are all gay. still, their cd is great. a few months ago i hade posted a message here about the m, asking for more info cause when i used search engines for "hidden cameras" i came up with 000s of xxx sites.
here;s a lyric:
hapiness has a smell i inhale like a drug done in a darkened half of a bathroom stall with a friend or a man with a hard on
i feed my own face when i soon crave a taste of the neck of a boy who wears eua de toilette and shaves every day and behaves well in department stores

Dickon Edwards of Fosca is a big fan of them. There's a live review to be read at his journal entries.
