Los Campesinos!

Los Campesinos!

Los Campesinos! is an indie pop band known for their spunky and energetic live performances. The seven member band formed in 2006, and includes members Aleksandra, Ellen, Gareth, Harriet, Neil, Ollie and Tom.

Their first live performance was in May 2006. They were well received and that led to several more performances around Cardiff. The band created a four track demo which included "Death To Los Campesinos!", "It Started With A Mixx", "Sweet Dreams Sweet Cheeks" and their most popular song "You! Me! Dancing!".

After the publicity from Internet play and live performances, they were invited to perform on the Beth & Huw's evening show on BBC Radio 1 Wales. This performance earned them the invitation to open for the popular band Broken Social Scene.

In November 2006, the band signed with Wichita Recordings and in 2007 released two debut singles "We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives" and "Do not Tell Me To Do The Math(s)".

To reach the markets in North America, the band signed on to Arts & Crafts Records and released a limited edition 7" vinyl of the song "You! Me! Dancing!" They followed this release with their debut EP Sticking Fingers Into Sockets which they accompanied with a tour in UK.

On April 1, 2008, the band released their debut full length album Hold On Now, Youngster. .. which had been previously released in the United Kingdom as a digital download.
