yeah I'm so lucky to have this thing in my life

aw I remembered 'You! Me! Dancing' only just this week. What a fantastic song. What a great band. I should have spent more time with them.

this album saved me from trash-heap indie
― devvvine, Thursday, 22 February 2018 16:56 (six years ago) link
You Me Dancing, My Year in Lists, Death to Los Campesinos, Sweet Dreams Sweet Cheeks...I still play these on the regular, brilliant energy.
This and Thunder Lightning Strike by The Go! Team were my go-to mood boosters for years

https://goo.gl/images/1goPv3 Probably posted this in another thread, but agree/disagree with the music he loves, the Phonogram series is a good read.

Whoops. It's the third image down in this article. One Phonogram character recommends the band to another. There's a page that follows where the second character listens to "You! Me! Dancing!" and loves it.

listened to this again today and it sounded as good as ever
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 February 2018 20:39 (six years ago) link
then i was listening to some of romance is boring and it also sounded great
Those are the two that have held up the best, I think. But whenever I put on We Are Beautiful, that one sounds glorious, too. I'm really hoping some younger bands discover them and are inspired by their voraciousness.

between like crying, martha and modern baseball they've already had a pretty good influence imo

how was their album from last year? i've been meaning to check it out (since, uh, last year).
― piper at the gates of d'awwww (voodoo chili), Thursday, 22 February 2018 20:52 (six years ago) link
it's really good, their best since Romance is Boring, but it doesn't quite deliver the youthful jolt most people probably expect from this band
― Evan R, Thursday, 22 February 2018 20:55 (six years ago) link
they had a really incredible run with those first three albums

On Saturday October 13th we’ll be playing our biggest ever UK headline show at the O2 Forum, London. MISERABILIA, as we’re calling it, will be unlike any Los Camp! gig before as we’ll be playing two sets, supporting ourselves.
The first set will be made up solely of songs from the above mentioned albums (plus maybe some other tracks from the time…) and then once we’ve towelled down and sprayed on some deodorant we’ll be back out on stage again to play another set, made up of the rest of our catalogue from the past decade of being the UK’s premiere DIY/punk/emo (delete as applicable) band.
😻

We're really excited that you're excited, thank you.AMERICANS - please don't do anything rash and fly over like you say you're going to. We're looking into the affordability of/getting the time off work for US shows. We'll keep you posted...— Los Campesinos! (@LosCampesinos) April 11, 2018

Thanks for the setlist, was also there and it was fantastic.

Goosebumps when they played “...Sooner State”.
― michaellambert, Sunday, 14 October 2018 13:10 (five years ago) link
holy shit
my only suggestion is they should always play “the low”
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Sunday, 14 October 2018 14:14 (five years ago) link
the low and in medias res would have been welcome but honestly the best show i've ever been to.also great was the scalper outside kentish town tube station trying to sell tickets to the peasants
― devvvine, Sunday, 14 October 2018 19:22 (five years ago) link
I was impressed the show was a big enough deal to have bootleg t-shirts on sale outside.
We were discussing it after and despite playing for about 2.5 hrs there were still at least half a dozen big tunes left out.
