Los Campesinos!

THE Cardiff-based sextet formed back in 2006, while at University, and initially featuring guitarist Neil, bassist Ellen and drummer Ollie. They were joined later by Tom (lead guitar, songwriter), Gareth (vocals, glockenspiel) and Aleks (vocals, keys). Their first gig was on 8th May 2006 at a student union night.
The band’s fame rocketed rather quickly following the emergence of demos: ‘You! Me! Dancing!’, ‘Sweet Dreams Sweet Cheeks’, ‘It Started With A Mixx’ and ‘Death To Los Campesinos!’. By November they were signed, and debut single ‘We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives’ / ‘Dont Tell Me To Do The Math(s)’ was released in February 2007. Album ‘Hold On Now, Youngster…’ was released on 25th February 2008.
