Los Campesinos! line up new spring dates
Indie-rockers Los Campesinos! have mapped a second round of North American headlining dates for this spring in support of their latest studio album.
The Welsh group, which is currently out on the road sharing dates with New Jersey indie-pop outfit Titus Andronicus, will mount up the new outing March 29 in Philadelphia, with the new slate following only a few weeks after the band's current trek, which continues Tuesday night (2/10) in Grand Rapids, MI.
Support acts for the second round of dates, which concludes with an April 17 appearance at Southern California's Coachella Festival, will be announced at a later time, according to the band. Details are included below.
"We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed" is the second full-length set from Los Campesinos!, dropping last November, less than eight months after the release of the band's debut, "Hold On Now, Youngster ...." The newer set features production by notable indie-rock studio figure John Goodmanson (Death Cab for Cutie, Pavement), and was released as a box set including a DVD, poster, buttons and a 37-page booklet including lyrics from the album.
According to the band's website, the album and box set will be available as a limited release only. "There will be one, worldwide run of CDs, and then it will be out of print," the group wrote. "Done with." The band has also stuck to its guns so far regarding its vow to release no singles from this album.
Los Campesinos! were formed in 2006 by seven university students in Cardiff, Wales, and attracted the early attention of UK indie label Wichita Recordings, which put out the band's 2007 EP, "Sticking Fingers Into Sockets," featuring a mild hit in "You! Me! Dancing!," which ranked No. 72 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.
