Ye Old King’s Head in Santa Monica if you want to trundle out to the westside, or The Fox & Hounds if you’re staying in the Valley again. It’s super close to Sportsman’s Lodge.

great!!! what about são paulo Brazil ?
(still looking for a drummer)

I will be buying tickets the instant they go up.

FINALLY!!!!

Gareth said at the August show in NYC that you’d be back in JANUARY.

but we do get an album out of it, so i still love you

I was bursting with excitement until I saw that the Toronto show wasn’t all ages.
Curse my youth!
Last time you guys came, I was somewhere in the fetal position dying of the flu and couldn’t go.
I just can’t win with seeing you guys.

My broken heart will heal for next time you guys come around.

you’re playing the same night in toronto as hot chip! never thought this tour announcement would sadden me in any way.

but, also…the phoenix! this is where i hoped you’d play.

THERE IS A GOD.

See you in New York! I can’t wait. This makes for a great birthday present.

no there isn’t!
we booked this tour ’cause we want it, not cos of prayer!!!!!!

YES. YES. YES.
I am so glad I have no finals and can come home for the Chicago show!!! (unless you announce a date closer to Southern Indiana around that time ) I will be very excited to see you no matter what, LC!

Where exactly can we obtain tickets? For toronto, if you need specifics.

New York on my birthday! You guys are so thoughtful.

AHHHHHHHH!!! YAAAAAAAHHH!!!! HOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I might need to make a road trip to Chicago if there is no Minneapolis gig. If you are still working on a gig in the Twin Cities try to book 1st Ave if you can. The Fine Line and Varsity are great but 1st Ave is just amazing.

if you ever came to miami, i could die happy. CANNOT WAIT for the album.

Please come back to Austin! I promise to bring more cupcakes! (And a vegan one for Gareth this time too.)

no florida shows? then, i guess, i’ll just have to a find a way to fly to new york. You guys are worth it.

I love that this lists Chicago’s Metro as the Cabaret Metro. Viva 1982! LC! is keeping it real, hardcore style.

Yes! Los Angeles! My life is complete now

If you need a place to watch the Saturday or Sunday morning games in Chicago, let me know and I’ll meet you guys at Ginger’s. Just a couple blocks from the Metro.

Los Angeles !!! loved the last El Rey show can’t wait to see you folks play again!

UUUUUTTTTTTAAAAAAHHHHHHH PLEASE!!!! I promise would would adore Kilby Court! It’s pretty famous among great musicians (Tilly and the wall, Jenny Lewis, M.Ward,etc.) They’ve all talked about how great it is when they’ve come! PLEASE come!

So excited; see you in Chicago.

P.S. that was meant to say YOU would love it! Pardon my idiocy, I was typing to fast due to the exxxcitment!

No Philadelphia??…..

YAY!

“More to be announced in due course, so please don’t go flipping out just yet if we don’t appear to be playing somewhere you would like us to be”.
C’mon guys?

May 7th looks to be a good day all of a sudden

Ben, there’s this company called Ticketmaster…

“More to be announced in due course, so please don’t go flipping out just yet if we don’t appear to be playing somewhere you would like us to be”.
C’mon guys?”

Your right..i didn’t read the whole thing..i apologize.

I would be forever indebted to you if “Houston, TX Warehouse Live” happened to make its way onto the updated list sometime before late August.
Well, maybe not FOREVER indebted, but I’d say 3-4 years at the very least.

For those in Toronto, if you don’t want to go through Ticketmaster you can usually find tickets at Soundscapes and Rotate This

Oh, I read that comment, I just thought I could throw in some outside influence to come incase you weren’t considering.

Phoenix on May 10th would be fantastic. I’ll make th is happen

Stop in Providence Rhode Island please so i dont have to drink and drive, if not i’ll troop it up to Boston. O yeah I love that song The Sea is A Good Place to look to the future!

Come to St. Louis again, please.

Philly! Come on!

18+ for the Toronto date?
… I’m pretty sure you mean 19+. Otherwise, those bartenders/bouncers are going to hate you for being difficult.

FUCK YES!! I think I am going to plan a road trip to see you guys both in NYC, Boston. Maybe even DC.

i would travel from hell and back just to see you guys live.

i shall be patient and have my fingers crossed that you guys’ll come to rhode island. *starts saving money* if not…i shall see you in boston!!!!

…
you’re all amazing. x]

YES. This made my week, possibly my year. I can’t wait to see you guys at the El Rey again.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I’M SO EXCITED! SEE YOU GUYS IN DC!

Alright, the El Rey! I will be there, with lots of extra cash to buy merch. Do you guys still run your merch stand personally?

Count me in the “b-but I already bought Hot Chip tickets!” group. I’d really hate for it to be (I think) the first LC! show in Ontario I DON’T make it to. Hmm.

I’ll go ahead and put in a bid for Memphis. Y’all had a damn good time when you came with Titus Andronicus–why not come back for another round?

Seattle. Well done LC! Head to the George and Dragon in Fremont to catch a match if you are in town early. Sat. May 1st is Sunderland away.

no mexico? it’s pretty close you guys. if not, i might just have to go to la, that wouldnt be so bad.

I recall you saying you wanted to be in Carrborro, North Carolina at the Cats Cradle on April 9 or 10. I could just be misremembering though.

Please please pleeeeeeeease add Atlanta to that list? I missed you guys last time you were in town and I still haven’t stopped kicking myself for it. Also: if you do an 18+ here I will destroy things.

I am pre-flipping out so I dont have to flip out when you inevitably skip Virginia, like every other good band.

I can’t wait to see you guys again in April. You were great at the 930 club last July!

I think you guys should come to ottawa. that would be so epic! and you’ll already be in toronto!

If you promise to only play the 3 or 4 decent songs off the new record and pretend the rest of the album doesn’t exist I might come to a show.

“More to be announced in due course, so please don’t go flipping out just yet if we don’t appear to be playing somewhere you would like us to be.” Bearing that in mind, is this tour going to flesh out into an extensive tour or are we talking like four more cities added to the list?
I just want to know how much I should invest of myself into hoping you guys head here. I myself would love to see a Houston tx date on the list. xD

Really excited about this, hope you guys come to St. Louis/Nashville. Would love to see ya’ll finally.

YAY Seattle!!
It’s on a school night, but who cares?

Please please please come to Dallas!
You guys are amazing, and I would love to see you live!

I can’t believe I am so excited to see you live again. I have been so lucky to see you live twice now in the US. And the first show, that first US tour!

UGH, couldn’t ask for much better – a tiny show in some weird church. Anywho, perhaps Portland, Oregon will come on the list, – hint, hint, great food here!!!

“More to be announced in due course, so please don’t go flipping out just yet if we don’t appear to be playing somewhere you would like us to be”.
C’mon guys?

Sorry Gareth. We as a fanbase are, by and large, completely illiterate. Most of us are such degenerates that we have to summon are best modicum of composure just to not throw feces at your shows.

Jason McBain – don’t worry dude, you stay in and have a wank, and we’ll play a rock show on the other side of the world to which we live.

FUCKING AMAZING!! CHICAGO AND SAN FRANCISCO! This made my day

I forgot to say THANK YOU!!!!!

can you please play philly on the 23rd?

Please stop in MONTREAL. We love the band and want you back here. Just let us know what you need. Supper, beer or just a bag of our world famous bagels. Please… We can help you load your equipment. Please….We can wash your clothes and have them ready for the following gig. Please….

i cant believe I’ll be in arizona while youre in chicago!! Maybe i’ll have to make a birthday trip to LA on may 8th, unless you decide to come to Tucson for some crazy reason

I can’t wait for the DC show. 1,000,000 more east coast tour dates would be awesome (preferably Philly/Baltimore so I can see you guys a number of times.)
Agh. This is great.

THANK YOU BOSTON YESSSSSS. I can’t wait to see you all again!

Gareth, what did you think of Turner Hall? I’m sure they’d love to have you back…Just like I would.
Milwaukee? Yeah? Brave the end of winter? Venture into the north?

getcho asses in philly….

Detroit…
PLEASE
Anywhere In Michigan.
PLEASE

young people, at last year’s el rey gig, on 1 side of the room was a wall of sitting moms (i’m assuming) i thought that was really cool; young fans liked it so much they asked moms to take them. so if you really want to go ask your mom, dad, legal guardian etc. no shame in that. i’m pretty sure when i’m old and grey i’ll have to take my niece to some show where i’m either what are the music kids listning to these days or i actually liked that.
the wall of moms did look happy.

yeah last el rey was good so most likely will go to this. dranked a bit too much bc excited and nervous seeing LC! for the first time.

speaking of, 4 my fellow LC! fans. i was a nervous wreck meeting them in person.

when i saw gareth the first thing out of my mouth wasn’t you guys rocked up there! or luv ur mUsIc man!
it was “can i get the blue LC! shirt”
WHAT A FUCKING MORON I WAS
hehheh yep, muy nervioso. i barely able to mumble out loved u guys on kcrw and your music.

and Aleks- super friendly. she invited, “don’t you want to be in the picture?” didn’t want to bc the picture would’ve been so bad bc i would’ve been blurry from shaking so bad and not from the photographer’s hands.

better late than never so sorry for that embarrasing encounter LC!

see you when u get to LA

I AM EXCITE!
Did you know that I was banking on a North America tour for the opportunity to buy the CD version of Romance Is Boring
did you
did you
did you

Montreal, Montreal, Montreal, Montreal.

Not flipping out, merely hoping.

The toronto show is like 9 days before my friends 18th

Since I’m set one going to one of the dates, do you know when tickets will be on sale for the show dates? I assume you will post on Twitter/here as well when they are available.

You better come to Austin!

Guys, you simply have to add Detroit to that list somewhere….. after all we sang happy birthday to your manager last time you were here over your mobile. You can’t have an American tour leg without a stop in Detroit Rock City.

please PLEASE come to st. louis again!
the last time you guys were here, i was in a SAT class that i couldn’t get out of… on my birthday.

so.. argentina?
maybe brazil?
paraguay?
i don’t know.. one of those places?
ALL OF THOSE PLACES?!!

YES?
pretty please?

(not to influence you guys on this whole decision making (?) or whatever, or anything, but I love you guys more than a dog loves licking it’s own crotch.. if that, you know, counts and stuff)

Back to Toronto. Very good. Toronto Islands is particularly nice in June, you know? The 19th may be a good time to come back for a return gig. You have some label friends putting on a big show then. Just thought I would throw that out there. Hope I didn’t come across as greedy. Can’t wait to see Kim in the line-up.

I agree with Glen, Toronto Island is very nice on the 19th of june

I really hope you guys play an All Ages show in Minneapolis. I went the last time you played there at the Fine Line with my dad and i was the only person under 18 there. MORE YOUNG FANS!

All ages in Boston! Finally!!! When do tickets go on sale?

I hope you guys come to Montreal again, I couldn’t get my EP signed by Tom and Neil last time! And there’s Kim now too, I hope there will be enough space left for more silly scribbles

Can’t wait to hear the new album live, I’ve been streaming it like crazy. Every track stands out, absolutely no filler… Not that there has ever been any of that on HONY or WABWAD either, of course.

Will Copy Haho be joining you on this tour too? I’d love that.

Thank you so much. Not only is Seattle the coolest city in the world, but the Showbox is the best venue in it. This post caused me to do a happy dance around the room before I tripped over a wire and stubbed my toe. I blame you.

with regards to glen and brent: wasn’t there speculation about this for some time now? anyways i’d definitely go to both shows. ESPECIALLY this theoretical set on June 19th @ Toronto Island.

Denver, Please!

Come to Houston, Please!

Yay Boston! Thanks guys!

Phoenix, AZ would be AMAZING!

[...] aren’t many dates yet, but the band’s official site promises more in the future. However, what’s already on the cards is pretty, pretty, prettay [...]

I love it how you specifically asked people, in bold no less, not to flip out over the absence of a particular favored venue.
Having said that….
Please attempt to make a trip out to Houston Tx. Granted the city has all the excitement of warm tap water, but so few bands make the stop.

on the dise’s website it says the boston is show is 18+.

AUSTIN for sure. I first heard of ya’ll on KUT-NPR radio live and saw ya’ll in August. You are from my dreams.

Silly Gareth. I don’t PRAY. I sacrifice toddlers.

Just got the album in the mail today, having preordered it through Insound. Fucking brilliant work.

*fingers crossed for a stop in Pittsburgh*

Today’s the day!!! Time to stop counting down days, and start counting down hours!!!

I’m hoping ya’ll make a stop through Omaha again.
Blake misses you!!!!
=)

YES! TORONTO!!! Wooo. =)
You may mean 19+ though….just a heads up!

LA!!! Thanks!!!!!!

Your best bet for Premiership in LA is either King’s Head or Cock n Bull, if you all are staying in Santa Monica or on the westside somewhere…

Hey, is Rob “Sparky” going to be a part of this tour too?

Is the Paradise show 18+ or not?

Hey, you have to come to México!!!
xo.

PLEASE MAKE A STOP IN ARIZONA!

FYI the Boston show is 18+ according to the paradise rock club website. I am extremely saddened by this, now i can’t go ): If there’s anything you could do to change that could you at least try? please.

You all should really swing by Sacramento while you’re in California. Not that I don’t feel like driving 3 hours down to the bay to see my favorite band.

New album is fantastic, though. I’ve listened to Romance is Boring about 50 times already today. Love you, Los Campesinos!

I just bought tickets for boston and New York! I hate live nation, but I hope the fees are going to help out the band.

I called the Paradise in Boston (I don’t turn 18 until May so I really wanted to know what the deal is with the show before I buy tickets) and they said for now it is definately 18+ and that they almost never do all ages shows on Saturdays. If this changes, an announcement will have to be made but based on what the girl told me, it’s definately not all ages. I am so bummed, this is the third time LC! has played there and I can’t go. I know bands have no control most of the time with age restrictions for shows, but hopefully you guys can either work to change this or add an all ages show somewhere in the MA/RI/CT/NH area, I will definately go! (I’m currently trying to work out how to get to NYC on a Thursday night with a broken car) You guys are my favorite band, and I mean that as truly and sincerely as I can, LC! is incredible!

I second Dan’s comment. I’ve been a fan for a long time, and unfortunately I have missed you guys on every tour because the Boston shows are always 18 plus…

er…Justin, those service fees definitely do not go to the band!

WHY!!!??? WHY DON’T YOU EVER COME TO UTAH??????????

oh… i didn’t actually read the whole post… sorry about flipping out prematurely…

i just really want to see you guys!!!

Oh yay! It looks like a few of us will be celebrating our bdays with you guys in NY ;D I suppose I would rather go to the Paradise but whatever. For people under 18, I used to write letters to the Paradise and ask if I could go with my dad and they’d let me in. But then my dad is cool and was willing to go with me. That’s how I saw Pulp back in the 90s. I feel old now.

Ticketmaster says Toronto is 19+

Gareth… If you love me at all (which I’m sure you don’t because you’ve never met me (well maybe you do in that artist-fan sort of way))… if you love me at all, you will do one of two things. You will either a) play a Toronto show that isn’t 19+ OR b) you will do all that you can to get on that June 19 gig with Pavement and BSS that I have already bought tickets for. After all, IT’S FUCKING PAVEMENT!

The point is: please don’t make a little redheaded Canadian cry because he missed his favourite band in Toronto because they played a 19+ show.

You guys have to understand that LC! has no control over the venue ages limits. Unfortunately for most clubs it is simply not profitable to have shows with the majority of the audience not drinking.

Blame the stupid drinking laws in NA.

http://www.livesoccertv.com/pubs/

you still need some vegan restaurant info?

any idea who your touring mates will be when you’re on the West Coast of North America?

why 19+ in toronto? boo

Just got my tickets for NY!

Just bought tickets for Chicago. Very excited!

Please oh please come to Richmond, Va so I don’t have to skip my classes to drive to D.C. I would love you forever and ever if you did. I will bake you dinosaur shaped cakes if you do. I’m not even lying.

i guess I’m not the only one crying about the 19+ show in Toronto. Maybe I’ll call over my other 13 year old friends and we’ll all cry together

Any chance on filling in the empty 4.23.10 date with a second NYC show or will you be taking the day off to spend some time in the city?

the reason I ask is that you are not paying anywhere in Pennsylvania (where I am from). I can not make the 4 hour (one way) drive to NYC on a Thursday but would love to see you Friday in the city and then that Saturday in Boston.

I managed to make it to the NYC show last August at Webster Hall…. one of the funnest shows I have ever been to.

No San Diego date I guess…?

Too bad–there’s a lot of good venues…

will LC! be in Eugene Oregon on June 3 2010?

Do you going to come back to Argentina

We miss you!

Hope we can hear you again soon.
