Los Campesinos! reads as a band who's already peaked, but as a British group that appeals to the emo side in every adult, they delivered like a band on top.
By Ace Ubas With Valentine's Day looming, what better way for romantic couples to spend a cold Saturday night than at a Los Campesinos! concert. Gareth Campesinos , vocalist and songwriter for the Welsh outfit, advised to the crowd Saturday night that their headlining show is "not a place for couples. It's a pit of despair." Why? Well, if you're familiar with them at all, then you'll know that their lyrics hit on themes of lovelorn and heartbreak. Apparently Los ...
Over the weekend we at BPM had the pleasure of seeing Los Campesinos! live , and out of all the songs from their great new album Hello Sadness it was probably "Songs About Your Girlfriend" that received the most frenzied reception, so it makes sense to release it as a single. Also, since this is Los Campesinos!, it makes perfect sense for them to release the video for this song on Valentine's Day. The video finds the band wandering the smuttiest parts of London's Soho late at night until they [...]

Rock and roll and strippers have always gone hand-in-hand, like peanut butter and jelly or scurvy and pirates. Welsh indie-pop outfit Los Campesinos! seek their own unique brand of fun with these hard-working ladies in the music video for "Songs About Your Girlfriend". In the David Spearing-directed clip, the band takes on two roles: as themselves performing in a strip club and as the strippers, represented by real girls wearing giant masks of the band members' faces (think Big Head Mode from N642s Goldeneye ). As they dance and twirl around, the enormous, lifeless faces make the [...]
David Spearing fue el encargado de dirigir el nuevo video que Los Campesinos! muy adecuadamente decidieron estrenar el día de hoy bajo el nombre de " Songs About Your Girlfriend ", sencillo incluido en su más reciente disco, Hello Sadness .

"Feliz día de San Valentín, chicos" , saluda desde su Facebook la troupe de Los Campesinos! para presentar su nuevo video para Songs About Your Girlfriend , nuevo corte de su más reciente LP Hello Sadness . Las imágenes del nocturno clip dirigido por David Spearing , por momentos un poco perturbadoras, muestran las cabezas de los músicos galeses sobre cuerpos de strippers, en su [...]
O grupo de indie-pop Los Campesinos! escolheu um dia marcante para o lançamento de seu novo clipe, Songs About Your Girlfriend : o Valentine's Day. Mas não espere que a faixa, um dos destaques do recente Hello Sadness , tenha ganhado um acompanhamento visual romântico. É o mais puro espírito nonsense que se manifesta no vídeo de Songs About Your Girlfriend . O clipe aproveita a proximidade do Carnaval mais do que a do Valentine's Day, colocando strippers com máscaras dos integrantes da banda (destaque para algumas expressões faciais impagáveis) para interagir com [...]
La mejor manera de darle una vida visual a "Songs About Your Girlfriend" (para Los Campesinos! ) fue el incluir un par de strippers en su video colocandoles el rostro de cada uno de sus integrantes y el resultado, es algo que probablemente podrian esperarse de entrada de una banda como Los Campesinos! y aun mas, dentro de toda esta vibra de amor y amistad que rodea una fecha como hoy la cual no es para nadie una sorpresa que ironicamente sea motivo de muchas divisiones dentro de las sociedades pero claro, no me adentrare en este [...]
The LOS CAMPESINOS ! have joined in on the fun in using this V-day to celebrate love and the release of a new song or video. The Welsh rockers head into the darker side of town and find the local strip club in their new video, SONGS ABOUT YOUR GIRLFRIEND .

Los Campesinos! will be releasing 'Songs About Your Girlfriend' on 19 March but before they do the Cardiff natives have revealed its brand new video. The Hello Sadness featured track is a stuttering, fast paced number whose euphoric guitars are undercut with barbed lyrics and a plaintive longing. The band will be touring next month: March 20 - Phoenix, Exeter 21 - Thekla, Bristol 22 - Electric Ballroom, London 23 - O2 Academy2, Oxford 24 - Rainbow Warehouse, Birmingham 26 - Academy 3, Manchester 27 - O2 [...]

A superb slate of shows for your Saturday: ► Grammy-nominated the Roots visit the House of Blues for the 8th Annual Roots Jam Session, which is sure to feature some special cameos and this year benefits the youth charity United Roots Oakland . ► O.C. breakout rockers Young The Giant headline the first of two nights at the Wiltern Theater. ► Los Campesinos! (pictured), the giddy pop septet from Cardiff, Wals, headlines the Echoplex behind its snappy fourth album, "Hello Sadness." Parenthetical Girls open. ► Fresh [...]
photo by Jim Bennett by Jonathan Hamilton I remember when I was barely a teenager I thought that a mosh pit happened at every concert and that proper concert etiquette required anyone at the front of the stage to participate in said pit. Eventually, I went to enough shows to learn that moshing is only appropriate for certain types of music and certain types of crowds. The all ages crowd at the Neptune for last weekend's Los Campesinos! show never learned these valuable mosh pit lessons, [...]
>> Should you be so foolhardy as to not be a friend to Clicky Clicky on The Facebook , then you are likely not aware of the most recent recording from Lubec . The guitar-pop band has posted a startlingly brilliant new song to its Bandcamp dojo, so dig the embed below, and then click over to download the thing for free. Oh, right, the song: "You're A Good Idea (Theme From Lubec)" is a melodic tour de force of kaleidoscopic guitar, simple cascades of piano and punchy bass playing. Not bad for an [...]
Facebook After writing up some bands lately whose names have either undersold or misrepresented the music they present, it's rather refreshing to have an artist whose public identity promises exactly what they have to offer. And that artist is Beth Jeans Houghton & The Hooves Of Destiny . A grandiose name, to be sure, and one that's matched by the title of their just-released debut album Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose . There's no way that labels like those could herald anything less than grandiose [...]
Welsh septet Los Campesinos! are currently on the North American leg of their tour in support of their fourth album, Hello Sadness . Intrepid Ca Va Cool correspondent Kevin Kania caught up with guitarist Neil Campesinos! before their show at London Music Hall in London, Ontario to discuss growing up with fans, destination recording, and the pains of making a music video. Los Campesinos! - By Your Hand Los Campesinos! - Hello Sadness Kevin : You played Letterman last week, was that [...]
