D.C. music fans still lamenting the loss last fall of Q and not U had two reasons to celebrate last night. Not only was Georgie James, Q drummer John Davis’ new project with Laura Burhenn, playing yet another DC-area show, but they were playing with Scottish twee darlings Camera Obscura, who are so good at doing the “Belle and Sebastian thing” that it’s quite possible they may do it a little better than B&S themselves sometimes.
As Georgie James took the stage, a line of people still waiting to get into the Black Cat extended halfway down the block. The story has been much the same elsewhere. The two bands have just started a tour that will take them all the way from Boston to Portland and back again. In Boston and New York, not a stray ticket could be found.
