Los Campesinos! at the Fine Line April 4
Gratuitous punctuation in a band name is usually pretty obnoxious (see: Portugal. The Man). But in the case of Los Campesinos!, the exclamation point is actually fairly appropriate to the kind of super-charged indie-pop that the seven-piece act spews out. If vomiting rainbows could be a musical genre, Los Campesinos! would be the cornerstone rain-vom band: Think Art Brut with less brute and Death Cab with more life—oh, and liberal use of the word “fucking” in cutesy, singalong choruses. Still touring in support of their first two albums—Hold On Now, Youngster and We Are Beautiful, We Are Dooomed, both released last year—Los Campesinos! recently added a second run of North American dates beginning March 6 in sunny Mexico City, including an across-the-border stop April 4 at the Fine Line. Break out those wussy dance moves, this ought to be fun.
Los Campesinos!, "You! Me! Dancing!"
