Los Campesinos是一支由七個人組成的流行樂隊，來自加的夫，威爾士。Los Campesinos在西班牙語中的意思是:一群農民。 2006年，這個樂隊在大學校園里面成立。 起初的成員有，吉他手Neil，貝斯手Ellen，鼓手Ollie。同年三月，Tom加入，他是樂隊的主吉他手兼歌曲作者。后來，Gareth，Harriet加入，分別擔任鐵琴手，鍵盤。最后Aleks也來了，他擅長鍵盤和聲樂。2006年五月，在學生俱樂部的晚會上，樂隊進行第一次演出。緊接著，又在加的夫進行了一系列受歡迎的演出。一個早先錄制的唱片樣本記錄了他們非常經典的一些歌曲。諸如，Death To Los Campesinos，Sweet Dreams Sweet Cheeks，You! Me! Dancing！這些歌在網上發表之后，他們充滿活力的現場表演更增強了他們的受歡迎程度，并使他們獲得在Beth & Huw's（BBC Radio 1 wales辦的）晚會的表演的機會。樂隊變得越來越紅 Celebrating a bratty, tongue-in-cheek viewpoint and a spunky indie-punk style similar to Art Brut while applying an assortment of instruments akin to Architecture in Helsinki, seven-piece group Los Campesinos! (roughly translating to "the Peasants") formed in 2006 in Cardiff, Wales. The lineup includes Aleksandra (keyboard, horn), Ellen (bass), Gareth (glockenspiel), Harriet (violin, keyboard), Neil (guitar), Ollie (drums), and Tom (guitar), with all members sharing vocals and the last name of Campesinos! The band played its first show in May 2006 and by the following August opened for Broken Social Scene. Later that year they signed to U.K. label Wichita, which released their first single in early 2007. A few months later they were added to the roster of Canadian label Arts & Crafts. That summer the band's young catalog expanded with another single from Wichita and an EP from Arts & Crafts titled Sticking Fingers into Sockets, produced by David Newfeld (Broken Social Scene). The full-length Hold on Now, Youngster... followed in 2008. 更多>>
