Los Campesinos

LC! Australia Club!

We have yet to play any shows in Australia, and this is a great shame for us. Two lovely people by the names of (alphabetically) Emilie and Sophie have set up a myspace group to rally the troops and make people in Aus care about us. This can be found (http://www.myspace.com/aus_love_for_los_camp - here) . If you are Australian and you'd like to show your support to us and to them, then that's maybe the place to do it.

My Year in Lists

The 2nd single to be taken from Hold on Now, Youngster... My Year in Lists, will be released, 12th May ( 7" and Download) on Wichita. My Year In Lists is 1 minute 49 seconds, and essentially mulls over the process of living out a relationship via Royal Mail, and bemoans the tedium of the New Year. Continuing the short-lived theme to the singles, for the b-sides LC! have covered three of their favourite short songs- 1. The Eyebright Bugler (Deerhoof cover) 2. In Accordance to Natural Law (Bikini Kill cover) 3. Yr Boyfriend (Casiotone For The Painfully Alone cover) All less than a minute long, or "<1" as we've so economically named it, LC! explain. It's a celebration of brevity and transience in pop music: all the best pop songs are short, or short-lived. As are most pop bands' careers. Probably ours too. Damn this ever-hungry web 2.0 generation... Never mind, no-one really wants to waste time with longevity and patience; this is for those of short attention span that won't sit still... pre-order (http://www.recordstore.co.uk/ - here!)
