60 Minutes or less - Episode 67 - Alex Cameron

Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - a podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for episode 67, I hit the road with Australian song and dance man Alex Cameron, a weirdo pop hero!Since the release of debut album ‘Jumping the Shark' - initially released for free on his website in 2013, before being reissued by Secretly Canadian in 2016 - Cameron has blurred the lines between performance art and genuine pop bops, putting out a series of records that are both smart and hilarious, with lyrics that are endlessly singable.Ahead of releasing his latest album ‘Late to Set’, I caught up with Cameron over Zoom, where we spoke of fellow Aussie pop weirdo Jack Ladder - a previous guest on episode 57 - as well as a love of Depeche Mode, touring with The Strokes, the good lord and - most importantly - what his lifelong friend, business partner, and saxophonist Roy Molloy is up to these days.Through the wonders of the internet, Alex recorded near enough the whole thing from the front seat of his 1997 Japanese Toyota Celsior. Because of this, the signal is occasionally patchy, but such is the sacrifice for an artist and his favoured mode of transport.If you like the episode, let us know - follow us on your favourite streaming platform and follow Birthday Cake For Breakfast on all the socials.
