$17 ($15 adv.; ages 18+).

press release: Alex Cameron's embarking on a rare duo tour with his business partner/saxophonist Roy Molloy, offering a show that's wildly different than more recent tours with a full band - and the duo tour stops in Madison on Sat., February 23, at High Noon Saloon.

2018 was a busy year for Alex Cameron and his '80s-inspired, dark, art-sleaze sound: a string of sold-out headlining US shows, a number of festival slots (including Pitchfork Festival, Osheaga, Treasure Island), and extensive time supporting the Killers in Europe.

The bulk of this duo tour will feature more intimate gigs, and a show that's stripped-back. Alex and Roy are starting off this year by going back to their roots, performing in an element they slummed it in for so many years before the release of Forced Witness.

Lola Kirke is no stranger to shape shifting - as an actress with a steadily ascending star, she's had major roles in David Fincher's Gone Girl and Noah Baumbach's Mistress America, as well as the Golden Globe-winning Amazon show Mozart in the Jungle. While less in the fore, her passion for music has stayed constant, with her guitar following her from dressing room to dressing room.

Born to a musical family (her father is Simon Kirke, drummer of Bad Company and Free, and her sister is singer-songwriter Domino Kirke), Lola embarked on her own musical journey with her four-track EP released in 2016.

Tracked live to tape in East Los Angeles and produced by frequent collaborator Wyndham Garnett (Elvis Perkins in Dearland, WYNDHAM) her debut LP Heart Head West, asserts her as part of the artistic tradition she holds so dear: delivering her own heart, laid bare for someone else to hear as theirs. "It's a really personal record about basically everything I though about in 2017 - time, family, loss, social injustice, sex, drinking, longing-essentially everything I'd talk about with a close friend for 40 minutes."
