The Peasants! Come Marching In


Parades are always fun. You can get together with family, friends, or hell, even with strangers. And then you have a crazy party - a crazy party in public no less - what's not to love? There's confetti, and loud noises, and usually some neat music. What's not to love? What's not to love if the paraders are from Wales as well?

If you haven't caught the drift yet, listen in. The fact is, Los Campesinos! is ready and raring to come stateside for their huge East Coast tour which will send them straight down the Atlantic corridor, and back up the heartlands of the United States in a parade or rampant frivolity, good grammar, and eclectic music. If you haven't listened to Los Campesinos!, my dear readers, you've been thoroughly missing out. But there is word drifting about that Los Campeisnos! throw a right fun party when they're given the chance - so I have read. And since they're usually at home in the United Kingdom, why would you pass up a glorious opportunity to catch them live?!

You can go find out more about Los Campesinos! right over here. Or, if you'd rather catch their songs, I'd recommend a rendezvous avec ils Myspace right away. I don't doubt you can also catch both of their albums that they released last year (Hold On Now, Youngster... and We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed). Hurry, hurry! Before the parade is over.
