ROUGH TRADE EAST INSTORE: JANUARY 31st 2010
On this coming Sunday, January 31st we will be playing a FREE instore at Rough Trade East, Brick Lane, to celebrate the release of Romance Is Boring.
HERE’S THE DEAL:
Rough Trade will be selling CD and LP copies of the album on the day; the day before the album’s UK release. You can guarantee a wristband (and therefore entry to the show) by purchasing a copy of said record from the store earlier on in the day.
OBVIOUSLY, if you’ve already pre-ordered the thing, it’s unfair to expect you to buy another copy, SO, if you email your proof of purchase to romanceisboring (at) gmail (dot) com with your full name and the subject title (this is important) RT Instore List, we will put your name on a guestlist.
A COUPLE OF THINGS:
- We won’t start playing until the Manchester United v Arsenal match is finished, so you don’t need to worry about missing the end of that, incase you would have been. For those of you who, for whatever reason, do not live your life according to football, that means we’ll be on 6ish.
- Obviously this instore is aimed at promoting and showcasing Romance Is Boring, so expect a set made up entirely of tracks from the new album. Because they are really fun for us to play right now.
Of course, this is a precursor to the MASSIVE ‘Romance Is Boring’ tour.
Mainland Europe?
Is that including Ireland?
i hope there’s a chance for a eastern europe date (or dates) this tour
Wohoo, European tour! I sure hope that includes a visit to Sweden.
Barcelona please please please on 5th March. that would be perfect cos’ i’m on a school trip there then
Australia is in Mainland Europe, right?
Also, any Aussies out there that don’t know, you can vote for There Are Listed Buildings in Triple J’s Hottest 100. You’ve got until midnight on the 17th Jan.
Plenty of pubs in shoreditch, sports bar is pretty cool if you guys dig foosball?
FINALLY! YAY!
As Yavor previously said, I too hope for some eastern european dates
You won’t disappoint us now, will you? x
Europe! exciting. I hope this means your N.A. tour will fall during festival season/summer.
Can’t wait for some parisian action
You’re doing this instore on my bday. Shame i’ll prob be massively hungover…in Paris. I have great memories of the Super Sunday instore tho!

this would be so convenient if I were still living in London
southern Germany? pleasepleaseprettyplease?
switzerland would be very very nice!
Keep getting the Europe gigs done early in the year. It will leave time for a Summer tour through America. Lollapalooza 2010!
I’m guessing the mainland tour isn’t going to feature Ireland but you kind of should just come anyway. Just for the laugh like yknow?
COME TO THE FUCKING STATES YOU TOSSERS.
Love you
Yeah be sure to include an irish date in there!
Ireland ≠ Mainland Europe
I don’t understand you Euros. Granted, I’m a little inebriated, but here’s my rant:
If you live in fucking Ireland, how hard is it to get to the UK? Or, for the sake of argument, how about France? I’m in Texas, but I would easily drive to Louisiana or Oklahoma for a Los Camp! show, and I’m pretty damn certain that’s no easy task both financially and timewise.
So really, you Irish, why can’t you just ride a boat over to the UK to watch shows? Is it really so hard?
Rnat over. You guys need to drink more and worry less.
I just realized that the LC blog is usually such a friendly place, and I think I’ve disrupted it with my misanthropic insobriety. I promise I’ll like y’all in the morning…
argh I so want to go! And they get the new album 1 day early, lucky!So annoyed I’m leaving London to go back to Birmingham now grrr.
Oh well, just have to wait till March 1st I guess.
All Points West this summer???
Blech. APW was such a poorly org’d festival last year!
Ah, this just made my day! (and will make my January that much better!)
What about America?
What ABOUT America?
i feel sad that you totally ripped off violet violets photo (your new bird one) they did it a while a go and it is exactly the same… poor girls!
you might want to double check on that ‘moaner’. I’m a fan of Violet Violet, but our bird pics are from about 16 months ago. VV were a three piece way back then so…y’know…just saying.
If you come to Sweden again, I’m gonna cry. Come to think of it though, if you don’t I will cry as well. If you do come, however, and especially if you come to Umeå Open which happens to take place in March, I promise to make up for the fact that I didn’t know who you were the last time I saw you.
Probably the best band in the world. Pre-ordered the new album from recordstore but couldn’t resist downloading the leak as well. I’ve got your back! (whatever that’s worth)
Coming to see you guys again… In Liverpool this time. Hope you have a great release and continue to mesmerize us fans.

PS: Plan A would be sex live.
i think it’s fair to point out that perhaps the north american’s should feel lucky they’ve had them tour at all, not to mention spending the majority of last year doing so. some of us all the way down in australia gracefully accept that we probably won’t see them on home soil. possibly ever.
also, anyone in the world, i’m pretty sure, can vote in the Triple J Hottest 100. so go vote for there are listed buildings. it’s kinda a big deal.
When are you coming here? Its killing us. We want to dance and sing soon
As an American I am feeling quite deprived.
If you just wrote on your blog “We will be announcing an American tour in the future” Id feel better.
Going to the bristol gig from manchester (it worked out easiest and cheapest somehow), cannot wait.
Dunnoh why you’re not playing manchester considering you said it was your “favourite place in the UK” but i spose you say that at every gig
If that tour includes Sweden would you be so kind to play an all ages gig or at least a 15/16 yrs age limit. I would hate to miss you guys just because I’m too young… I’m dead excited about the new album ofc, it feels like ages since I ordered it.
What about South America?
Belgium would be ace , Antwerp or Brussels.
The dates are probably already set but hey I can hope.
cheers
Might I add, if your playing France, you said you wouldn’t ever again after the Theirry Henri incident…..
Just saying…
Thumbs down whiny Americanos… like it’s been said, us Aussies have yet to be graced with the presence of Team Campesinos.
Also, I didn’t see LC in the Triple J list, so you missed my vote sorry
Amsterdam 14 March, awesome
Cherish great memories of the previous concerts in Amsterdam.
ah, the greedy Western world! What do you expect!?
Meanwhile, I get to see them 3 times in 33 days, which is once every 11 days : D
Yes, those greedy Westerners sure do suck, don’t they?
*shifts eyes suspiciously*
they’re all pigs!
I think I’m gonna try and make it here! Will you be doing a signing there, as well?
If some stupid American was the one who leaked the album and now the rest of us are being punished let me know because I would love to kick their ass.
Why aren’t you coming to America?
wow, its amazing you’re doing a massive tour. You sure are nice to us. I hope you return to South America, we have some “oles” left for you
I wish I still lived in London. Watching Arshavin score 5 against the mancs and then LC! would be the best day ever. Instead it will have to settle for just being a very good day.
[...] here and Wonderful Noise will see you [...]
Seen as i’ve pre-ordered the CD and the LP, would it be cheeky to ask for 2 names put down on the guest list?
Do you happen to know what the capacity for RT is? It’s just I can’t buy things on the internet on my card, so I was looking forward to buying it on Sunday, like the geek I am!
Just went to Amoeba and got Romance Is Boring on cd and vinyl.. its amazing
Hmm, Fin. I’d have hoped you’d have a greater appreciation of your country’s history than that.
“You can guarantee a wristband (and therefore entry to the show) by purchasing a copy of said record from the store earlier on in the day.”
Does that mean you HAVE to buy it to get it?
I want to bring my friend, but he’s not 100% sure on you guys, and saying that he’ll have to buy it isn’t encouraging him to come.
Oh internet, you are the provider of such good news.
Any time for the gig on Sunday yet?
Nice to hear YMD as the back in music for the United Arsenal game on MOTD2 tonight.
Guys, can’t believe you are coming to Falmouth. Hope your up for some cornish pastys and old fisherman! so excited, can’t wait. love the new album, and all the old ones, unconditionally.
I think i would do it for love, if it were not for the money.
xxxxxxxxx
also, falmouth is one of the smallest towns, your show is going to amazing for you and for us.
[...] their lyrics are intelligent and plentiful, they answer fans’ questions (à la B&S), they delayed an in-store appearance until the Man U-Arsenal match was over, um … and they make a real big [...]
