Los Campesinos

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).

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

they had a really incredible run with those first three albums

Reissues of HONY and WABWAD out in Oct to celebrate the glorious anniversary!

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.

😻

picked up a ticket, may be US shows as well:

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...

greatest to ever do it

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

Goosebumps when they played “...Sooner State”.

holy shit

my only suggestion is they should always play “the low”

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

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.

for once in my life i can say i have valentine's day plans

To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of our third album, ‘Romance Is Boring’ we will be repressing the sold-out album on vinyl, plus playing a lusty double header of shows in London, on Valentine’s Weekend 2020

You can pre-order your remastered copy of Romance Is Boring on gatefold gold vinyl now, as well as getting hold of it's companion, the ‘All’s Well That Ends’ EP. ‘All’s Well That Ends’ is limited to just 500 copies on 10” vinyl and features brand new artwork by LC!’s own R N Taylor. All pre-orders come with a Valentine’s Card signed by the band.

Also up for grabs is ‘Romance Is Boring: an Oral History’ — an extensive ‘zine featuring conversations with Los Campesinos! members past and present over the last decade, as well as exclusive photographs and illustrations.
