Biography

Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom (2006 – present)

Los Campesinos! are an band which formed in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom in 2006. The band’s current lineup consists of Gareth Campesinos! (vocals, glockenspiel, keyboards), Kim Campesinos! (vocals, keyboards), Tom Campesinos! (guitar, vocals, keyboards), Neil Campesinos! (guitar), Rob Campesinos! (vocals, guitar, keyboards, glockenspiel, percussion) and Jason Campesinos! (drums).

Four original members of the band have left the group since 2009. Aleksandra Campesinos! (vocals, keyboards, glockenspiel) left the band in 2009 to focus on her studies. She was replaced by Gareth’s sister Kim in September 2009. Ollie Campesinos! (drums) left the band June 2010 and was replaced a three weeks later by Jason Campesinos!, the band’s longtime road manager and merch table salesmen. Harriet Campesinos! (violin, keyboards, vocals) left the band on in September 2011 to continue her studies. Ellen Campesinos! (bass, vocals) left the band in December 2012 to focus on other projects. Rob Campesinos!, who performs solo as Sparky Deathcap, is the official eighth (or, since Aleksandra’s departure, ninth) Campesinos! - the band compares his role in the band to the one Bob Nastanovich had in Pavement. After a year of being a semi-official member, Rob was made a full member of the band upon Ollie’s departure. The band’s name translates to “The Peasants” (or “The Farmers”) in Spanish.

    "Hello Sadness" was LC!'s first album without the usual sugar rush. I'm not saying it's their best, worst or just a meh album. All I'm saying is that I miss their usual sugar rush. Wondering/fearing what the hell will they do for their next release... [2]

    Not seen them live since Harriet left, and upon listening to their live album: OH GOD BRING HER BACK. They are nothing without strings.

    I'm not someone who pays attention to lyrics that much, but I often pay attention to LC!'s lyrics and I've enjoyed them a lot since the first album, thus agreeing that Gareth is indeed a great lyricist, but I just couldn't be bothered with the lyrics from "Hello Sadness" because the melody failed to catch my attention. And a song can have the greatest lyrics ever, but if the melody fails to keep up with the quality, all that will be left is a poem, not a song. I should have said this while I was drunk, it would have felt much better.

    The focal point to "Hello Sadness" for me was the lyrics. They were superb. Gareth has already stated that their new album will contain the saddest lyrics he's ever written. There's also a quote from his Twitter suggesting the intentionality was to "make you cry". What I love about this band is the lyrics, always and forever, I think Gareth is one of the greatest lyricists I've ever heard. I tend to enjoy that 'sugar rush', which I feel is synonymous with a band's youthfulness, but "Hello Sadness" has grown on me tremendously.

    Calling someone a pleb for preferring an album that you're indifferent to is a sure-fire way to begin a disagreement, sis.
