CHATS WITH CAMINO GOLD
We spoke to Camino Gold, the Newcastle-based indie band, before their gig for Homegrown at Harbord on Friday 28 June.
Coalescing a party that transcends indie-pop and surf-rock, driven by relaxed tones, dreamscape guitars, and cruisy vibes that meddle with reggae rhythms, Camino Gold touches-up the Alpha-G with colour, commentary, and composition.
Camino Gold formed in 2019 and has released seven digital singles, featured on Triple J Unearthed, Home & Hosed, and random US College Radio.
