New York is chilly. Sunday’s are awesome. So let’s spend an awesome, chilly Sunday together with Camera Obscura when they stop by Other Music for a stripped down instore this Sunday at 7pm.

Seeing as Camera Obscura hasn’t been to Atlanta in a while, they figured why play one show when they can play two!
Before the band hits Variety Playhouse next Friday (11/20) they’ll be swinging through Criminal Records to play a very cool, stripped down instore for all y’all down there. So check it. Then check it again.
