BIOGRAPHY

Action Camp was originally formed in 2006 after a chance meeting of an
unlikely pair. A classically trained, folk-rooted girl met an electro-minded
punk boy while both toiling in the food-industry and a relationship akin
to a well-weathered marriage began. A shared love of 50's doo-wop,
dark pop music, and David Lynch movies is the glue that binds them and
also the basis for their eclectic sound.

After playing in the Boston scene for 3 years and going through a few
line-up changes, founding members Bengt Alexsander and Maura Jacob
decided to relocate to Jacob's hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. Action Camp
has since become an ever-evolving entity, incorporating both live and
electronic instruments, a flare for the dramatic, and an intimate live
show that welcomes audience participation. They invite you
to escape from the everyday mundane into the surreal, where
“female vocals waft like ground fog above an ancient forest floor
[and] a bizarre sense of darker monster surf music slithers
in the eardrums” (The Noise Boston).

They hope you’re along for the ride.
