Just to build on what Ellen said a couple of posts down about our night out on the tiles. Micachu is incredible. I was lucky enough to get the album a couple of months ago thanks to being ‘in the biz’ and I listened to nothing else for a week or more. I was disappointed [...]
Greetings from the control room. In response to some casual e-pokings from G-Diz and a promise to my parents that I’d contribute to our blog, thought I’d detail some of the goings-on down here. We’re about 7 tracks (probably about halfway) into our over-thought, over-long, over-the-top sophomore album, and I’m thinking this is probably going [...]
We got to have an awesome pals pre tour reunion with the dear Sky Larkin last night, which involved heading into New York to watch them support The Grates at the Mercury Lounge. Incidentally this is where we performed our first ever New York show, our name misrepresenting us and leading to us being put [...]
So, over the past week or so, Neil and I have been attempting to find the hottest Chilli pepper that Ridgeway Shopping Center’s Stop&Shop has to offer. Up until now, we’d been pretty disappointed with what we’d tasted, but today that all changed. I was cooking dinner and started to use the chilli and GOT [...]
Since we are getting all nostalgic, I thought I would share with you all this little gem I found the other day from our “first photo shoot,” i.e when there was only four of us and I bought a camera to our fifth rehearsal so we at least had something to put up on our MySpace…. image [...]
Oh Nostalgia… I just remembered about this video. In September 2006, Los Campesinos! (we) went on its (our) first ever kind-of-tour. We hassled beautiful people in LDN, MNCHSTR, BRDFRD AND CRDF to let us play gigs for them. We rented a van and our friend Ryan drove us around England and Wales. He also brought [...]
I watched The Wrestler last night in my continuing bid to see the entire resume of Darren Aronofsky on this tour, I started with Pi in the first week, and although I appreciated its skewed vision of maths and it’s painful depiction of a migraine I thought it was a little bit up its own [...]
Today has been a pretty miserable day. The area of Stamford we’re in doesn’t strike me as the most happening place in the world, but up until now the weather has been nice at least, so I’ve been able to walk to the super market every day. I’ve been trying my best to walk about [...]
So, We are currently in Stamford, Connecticut, recording a record, once again with John Goodmanson (WHERE DOLITTLE WAS RECORDED!!). Initially we planned not to mention it for a little while longer. We didn’t want to give anybody cause to speculate on something which likely won’t be released for a reasonable amount of time (at least [...]
