Fake Camping

There’s a cosmic hum resonating in downtown Tulsa and if you dare put your ear to the ground, you might hear it. From inside a damp, dark and windowless warehouse room on the east end of downtown, the band Fake Camping is looking to surf the new and growing wave of original music that has recently been showing a resurgence in Tulsa.

Fake Camping has a unique approach to their songwriting process, striving to break the pop-rock mold of verse/chorus/verse/chorus rock and usher in a fresh taste of unconventional and unpredictable Space Rock and a psychedelic effect pedal Open House. The band also definitely doesn’t take themselves too seriously, as evident by future plans to “beef up” stage shows by incorporating true camping activities, snacks and merit badges, camp-fire sing-a-longs and visuals.

Fake Camping may not be the flashiest act in town or have throngs of teenage girls snapping pictures of them on their camera phones, but listeners who turn out, give them a chance and 45-90 minutes, walk away feeling refreshed, surprised, entertained and glad they came.
