One of the many incredible things about being in our position is the opportunities we have had to play shows with bands we admire. In our short time together we've already had the privilege of touring with the likes of No Age, Times New Viking, Broken Social Scene, DanielsoncTitus Andronicus, the Cribs, Jeffrey Lewis and many more. For me, personally, nothing has been a bigger honour than the shows we played with Parenthetical Girls. »
Tom Los Campesinos! meets James Richardson from The Guardian’s Football Weekly podcast.»
I've seen bands I love play awful shows. I've bought records that have disappointed me beyond end. If I go to a gig and I'm not enjoying it, I won't force myself to stay; but when I go to watch Welton Rovers every Saturday (as I've done the past 15 years), I could be watching the most diabolical game I've ever seen (I often am), and you couldn't drag me away. Bands, they come and go, but when you choose a football team, that's a life sentence. I asked some friends to share their misery with me. »
There are quite a few keen cooks in Los Campesinos! and we all spend a lot of time talking about food when we are together. But it's when we get home to our empty cupboards that I start to get sentimental about Mum and Dad's lentil soup and get my pinny on. »
I imagine the majority of us are fans of the ‘DIY’ label (if not, you may as well stop reading now). A DIY label is even more exciting if someone you know is running it. Those of you who live in London probably know a million people running labels. There are a bunch of people in Cardiff who are doing the DIY thing. But not only are they doing it, they’re doing it well. »
"Cardiff is a city that is rapidly changing. When I first visited it when my sister was studying at the University, the Bay redevelopment hadn’t even happened. Now with a major redevelopment in the centre the city is becoming the Capitol city that Wales deserves. In this guide I’ll show where to eat, drink, shop and enjoy what the city has to offer."»

Hallo! Welcome to Los Campesinos! week on DiS. As you can imagine, the band have plenty of thoughts and insights to share this week but we thought it might to be nice to ween you in gently with this tour video. »
Romance is Boring marks the tipping point when self-absorbent adolescent relationships and emotions become the things used to cower behind as escape from the harsh realities of life’s ticking clock.»
Watch the new, slightly violent, video for Los Campesinos!'s 'Romance Is Boring'.»
It seems that barely a week goes by without Los Campesinos! creating a news story for DiS. We owe them for keeping us in crisps and arcade money. And so we honour them, with a slot in our 'Records That We Are Quite Excited To Hear In 2010' preview week.»
Not satisfied with just finishing another mammoth chunk of touring, this time with Sparky Deathcap and Copy Haho, Los Campesinos! have just confirmed a whole new set of wonderful dates for the month of February, and some of March. »
If it seems like a little while since Los Campesinos! furnished us with more details about their upcoming second album PROPER, that's because it is.

Not-really-Welsh-but-went-to-University-in-Cardiff seven-piece, Los Campesinos!, have announced the departure of Aleks from the band.»
The ever prolific Los Campesinos! are stuck in Stamford, Connecticut recording their second album (or third if you want to ignore their protestations about We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed being just a "record").»
Give Los Campesinos! another six months in the studio and they'll probably come up with the ultimate indie-pop song to conquer the world's dancefloors - but, for now, this is certainly more than acceptable»

This time last year, the four boys and three girls that make up Los Campesinos! had one common objective, and that was getting through their second year at Cardiff University. Dom Gourlay catches up with the seven-piece in Nottingham to see how they've progressed, and to find out what's next for the much-tipped indie-poppers...»
A young man stands on stage smiling in incomprehension. His band, just 14 gigs old, are halfway through their set at Camden's Barfly. The crowd sings along, cheering to tracks they've only heard on the internet like they're Greatest Hits staples.
