HEAT RASH UPDATE
I thought it appropriate to give you guys an update on the progress of Heat Rash. I should have done it sooner, but, alas, so thank you for your patience on this.
Clearly, getting issue #1 out has taken longer than we hoped and anticipated it would. There are several reasons for this, but, crucially, none of them are particularly negative. This project’s been a good learning curve, as, from the start, we’ve aimed to complete every aspect of it ourselves.
This being issue #1 has meant a bigger workload than all future issues will have, particularly for Rob, who has been heroic from the start and has, essentially designed a magazine from scratch. Now that we have the template in place and have learnt a myriad of shortcuts, things will run a lot smoother in the future.
Aswell as this, we’ve had to find pressing plants/printers to work with, and negotiate the best possible prices and qualities, etc. This is obviously something that’ll be in place for future issues, so another thing that will ensure we can work a lot faster.
Right now, both the ‘zine and the 7″s are in print, and as soon as they’re back with us, we shall excitedly package everything together and get it all out to you.
Needles to say, we’re incredibly grateful for the patience and understanding (let alone enthusiasm) that you have shown, and we’re confident that when it arrives, Heat Rash will be well worth the wait. It’s ended up being a lot bigger and better than we even hoped it would be. Truth.
Oh yeh, we’ve also been WRITING A NEW ALBUM, which may have distracted us slightly.
Thanks guys,

ps. If you ain’t subscribed yet, there’s still time.
Can’t wait!
I haven’t received any login details for things like the merch discount etc.
How do I go about getting those?
I can’t decide if I’m more excited for Heat Rash or the new album… Probably both at once!
Oh, Los Campesinos! What would i do without you in my life?
Excuses, excuses Mr. Gareth. So many excuses.
But in all honesty, I’m very excited for Issue #1 and the new album! Shit’s going to be cash, or something else that my brother would say to imply that something will be of good quality.
Ultra excited. Question though, how do I go about getting login deets and such? Hope you’re all well!
Take your time
Oh how I love you guys.
Needless to say, I’m uber excited to receive my package from you all.
Looking forwards to heat rash, but I can’t wait for the new album.
NEW ALBUM! I can’t wait. I’m going to Coachella. I wish you guys were going!
Thank you for keeping us in the loop. I don’t know which one I’m more excited for.
Heat Rash sounds pretty cool. I think it would be rad if you did a cover of Susan Sleepwalking as a b-side for one of the upcoming issues. I would buy that for sure.
TAKE YOUR TIME. I’M POOR AS FUCK.
