Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom (2006 – present)

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

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. 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.

The band performed their first gig in May 2006 at a student union club night, and went on to play a number of increasingly well-received gigs around Cardiff.

    Listening to It Started With A Mixx followed by something from Hello Sadness is a seriously odd experience.

    I wasn't a big fan but I've just heard the Pavement cover, Frontwards. I'll have to give them another chance!

    Pretty nifty discography!! Lots of sex, heartbreak, religion, and existentialism thrown in the mix. The lyrics can shock you. But more than that, the songs are just catchy as hell. Lol.

    I think all albums are great, the first EPs are entertaining and has good songs like 'C is the Heavenly Option' (which is a great cover), Hold On... has amazing pop songs, WABWAD is short but great in its depressive mood; RIB is a bit long to me but it has amazing songs and I like the punk atmosphere it has and Hello Sadness ir more mature and I really like the sound of the drums and the mix!- there's no better album, you should listen every track! ♥
