Los Campesinos! Get Twee On Their Next Single
Published Monday, 17th September, 2007 at 10:04 AM
It's been a few months now since Los Campesinos! revealed plans for a massive end of year Winter tour (we reported that here in June) and now the hotly tipped Welsh seven-piece will release a single to coincide.
Towards the end of the mammoth twenty two day jaunt, the band will deliver The International Tweexcore Underground on 22nd October, which also comes backed with a cover version of Police Story by Black Flag, as well as an Amelia Fletcher and Calvin Johnson duet.
Los Campesinos! say the lead single is "a story of a friendship of two opposites and how they are in the best band in the world, one embracing things that are, shall we say (and you would almost definitely say) 'twee' (yuck) and the other embracing music that is... not so."
The group are also finishing off their debut album, which if all goes to plan, will be released before the year is out.
