Etiquette - Twinkling Stars

You can read my general notes on Camp Wavelength here. By some weird coincidence, the last time I saw Etiquette was just a stone's throw away across on the other side of Artscape Gibraltar Point's back yard. (definitely one way to promote positive associations with a band!) Here on the bigger Camp Wavelength stage the band was tasked with getting a long day of musical programming started, and did a nice job moving from their more atmospheric tunes (with some bonus backing vocals from special guest Hannah Georges) to this extended set-closing groover.

Etiquette - Attention Seeker

Celebrating fifteen years as a retreat and incubator for the arts, Artscape Gibraltar Point decided to throw itself a big party, a day of music and secular blessings. Rain early on kept the crowds away somewhat, but it turned into a fairly pleasant day, with music in the backyard tent going ahead from late afternoon to late at night.

Having missed several chances to see this atmospheric new project from Julie Fader and Graham Walsh, I was glad to catch 'em leading off on the backyard stage, even if their music might be more at home in the slinky dark of night. No matter, though — a bit of cool/damp afternoon fog worked just as well and the band (propelled by fill-in drummer Loel Campbell) evoked the vibe nicely.
