The Camels

The Camels are an Australian rock band from Sydney, New South Wales, formed in 2000. The Camels released their debut album All You Ever Needed in 2004, produced by Tim Powles (The Church). National radio broadcaster Triple J put four tracks from the album on high rotation. In 2005, The Camels performed 119 shows around the country, 67 of those on their “Surfari" tour (presented by Quiksilver & Triple J) which built a loyal national fanbase. Their efforts landed them supports with CAKE and local legends The Hoodoo Gurus. In 2006, they wrote and recorded two songs for the Australian documentary, Bra Boys. Lead vocalist and guitarist Jamie Holt wrote 18 pieces for the film's original score. The new Camels songs were featured on the soundtrack for the movie in 2007, alongside other Australian bands The Butterfly Effect, Grinspoon and Parkway Drive. The Camels released The Romance EP in 2007, which featured their most popular song "Times We Had", from the Bra Boys OST. They are currently signed to Roadshow Music.
