Lisa Cameron

Lisa Cameron

Austin-based percussionist and multi-instrumentalist, Lisa Cameron, is well-respected in the noise and free-improv scenes, and has played with everyone from Brave Combo (Cameron was a member of the original late ‘70’s lineup) to Roky Erickson, Jandek, and members of Faust and Guru Guru, and she has opened for many others, such as Psychic TV and various incarnations of Hawkwind, plus the bands growing out of the Hawkwind diaspora. She has also been a member of such seminal groups as ST 37, Glass Eye, Three Day Stubble, and other Texas cult-acts.

Cameron’s approaches to creating noise/drone on her percussion instruments are rooted in the extremes of the original psychedelic era and influenced by Velvet Underground’s White Light White Heat (which she bought as a child in Winfield, Kansas, and says changed her life).

Ongoing collaborators include Sandy Ewen, Raquel Bell, Claire Rousay, and a trio with Alex Cunningham and Damon Smith. She also currently plays with the Texas groups ST 37 as well as Suspirians.

This performance by Lisa Cameron was documented by Foveal Media at G-CADD Granite City, IL, in July, 2021, shortly after a recording session at Birdcloud Recording. A short interview conducted by her collaborator, Alex Cunningham, will be shown after the performance.
