Keith Gorman (reviewer, UCLA Daily Bruin) : Aztec Camera, who opened the show, proved almost as promising as the advance hoopla has claimed. Aztec Camera has all the bravado of a lighter, almost acoustic U2, with a fresh, although not quite polished performer in 19-year-old lead vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Roddy Frame. They also have a bizarre knack for changing tempos at a sometimes distractingly whipcrack intensity. Frame's passionate guitar playing, however, was nothing short of outstanding. His solos ripped out some of the most barnburning moments of the whole evening.
