UK TOUR!
Hot on the heels of announcing a new record, (HB: RECORD) to be released this coming October and entitled 'We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed', we now have news of an accompanying UK tour.
the SHRED YR FACE tour.
(in association with the Coalition/Rough Trade Shops and Drowned in Sound)
Los Campesinos!
No Age
Times New Viking
We have put together a line up with two of our favourite bands right now. Both No Age and Times New Viking have release two of this year's finest LPs and their live shows are incredible. We've stalked them as far afield as Los Angeles' The Smell and SXSW in Austin, Texas, and are well excited to be sharing a stage with them.
Thanks a lot for reading dudes,

New Release!
Los Campesinos! are very happy to announce the release of a new record. Coming on October 13th is ' We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed ': ten brand new tracks recorded in Seattle from June 12-23rd with our dear friend Mr John Goodmanson (Blonde Redhead, Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill, Wedding Present, Wu Tang) and mixed immediately after at Monnow Valley in Wales.
And despite 'Hold On Now, Youngster...' being only 5 or so months old, LC! wanted to emphasise that this is no post-album cash in.
It's no B-Sides and rarities or "songs that weren't good enough to be on the album cobbled together with some remixes and field recordings of Cardiff's indie scene"; it's ten all-new tracks that none of you have ever heard before.
So the tracklisting looks like this:
1. Ways To Make It Through The Wall
2. Miserabilia
3. We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed
4. Between An Erupting Earth And An Exploding Sky
5. You'll Need Those Fingers For Crossing
6. It's Never That Easy Though, Is It? (Song For The Other Kurt)
7. The End Of The Asterisk
8. Documented Minor Emotional Breakdown # 1
9. Heart Swells/Pacific Daylight Time
10. All Your Kayfabe Friends
ALSO...
News to come shortly on a tour featuring the best line-up to grace these (UK) shores since the NME one with Andrew WK!
Love, as ever, LC! X

LC! Australia Club!
We have yet to play any shows in Australia, and this is a great shame for us. Two lovely people by the names of (alphabetically) Emilie and Sophie have set up a myspace group to rally the troops and make people in Aus care about us.
This can be found here . If you are Australian and you'd like to show your support to us and to them, then that's maybe the place to do it.
Chat LC!
Some kind souls have set up a forum for us, It's nothing to do with us, so who knows, the content may be questionable, but if you fancied somewhere to go chat LC! that might be the place to do it. And no doubt we'll all register soon enough and go and talk about how amazing we are. Check it out here
