The band, which recently released its fourth album entitled Hello Sadness via Arts & Crafts, kicked off the album release by playing four very special, jam-packed U.S shows in November. This time around, they’re making sure to hit a wider array of cities to bring their fans these stellar tunes in the flesh.

 

Live, Los Campesinos! are larger-than-life, oozing punk rock energy. They know how to make the crowd jump with their massive sound and Gareth’s kicking and shouting, while dramatically slapping a glockenspiel. See dates below!

 

Praise for Hello Sadness:

 

“The pleasure of Los Campesinos! is the pleasure of hearing Gareth Campesinos! talk — ramble, really — about miserable things… Gareth describes heartbreak as the splaying out of his innards not once, or twice, but on three separate songs on “Hello Sadness,” …the band is better when not holding back, like on the fantastically stomping choral hook of “By Your Hand,” or the polyphonically dense “Songs About Your Girlfriend,” the most acidic song here.” – The New York Times

 

“diverse breakup album that examines the many vivid moods stemming from love's implosion, from the titular sadness to rage to resignation and back again.” – NPR

 

“Los Campesinos! can't stop adorning their odes to existential grief with snappy handclaps…still showing signs of growth on this third album… frontman and Morrissey/Malkmus acolyte Gareth always sounds giddy that someone crushed his heart and gave him an excuse to write another word-drunk cry of despair.” – Spin

‘Music City 411- Robin Gibb Tribute

By: Andrew Vaughan

It’s truly heartbreaking to see the pain Robin Gibb’s family is going through right now. The Bee Gees singer is in a coma after suffering with liver cancer and most recently pneumonia. Of course, several big name pop acts have passed away recently- Davy Jones of The Monkees probably the most recent. Now I knew Davy to talk to but I’d never met his family. Which is why hearing about the Gibb family’s pain surrounding Robin is so difficult to handle.
