Hai, we are Emilie and Sophie.
WE ARE THE DEPRIVED CHILDREN OF AUSTRALIA AND NEED YR HALP.
FELLOW AUSTRALIANS!
If you love delightfully passionate indie pop tunes, sprinkled with colourful glockenspiels, chiming guitar and the wittiest word play you're ever likely to feast your ears upon about Live Journal, The Breakfast Club and 90's boy bands, then have we got a treat for you...
LOS CAMPESINOS!
The only problem is...
We cannot get them out here because Australia hasn't caught onto them yet. Hooray for cultural isolation!
THEREFORE!
We need Australians to rally up, support them and and get them out here!
For the good of brilliant, witty, playful music!
For the good of the cultural prowess of all Australians!
For your own musical education!
HALP US BRING LOS CAMP TO AUSTRALIA!
(Can we quietly add that we are the first Los Campesinos! fan page? Omg.)
You can do your bit by requesting your favourite los camps song on super request triple J:
Also, do not forget to pick up a copy of their brilliant, luminous, speaker-meltingly-lovely debut "Hold On Now, Youngster" from any good cd store. BECAUSE:
1)You'll be happy to be exposed to amazing music.
2)The cd store owner will be happy for your money.
3)Los Camp will be estatic to have another Aussie fan so they can come down here. Pretty much a win-win situation, guys, so HUSTLE.
It MOSTLY means that myspace jumbled our friends list up at random (?), but I may take it as a sign. I think NOBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD will even notice it's changed.
Hmmm, this is an intriguing idea...but there are seven members, so we'd have to raise A LOT of money. AND HOW WOULD WE DO THAT?! Are they friends with AiH?
YEAH!! Let's talk logistics. How can we do it? If we get them on a tour with Architecture in Helsinki maybe? I know that they mutually appreciate each other and if Midnight Juggernauts can bring over M83 then maybe AiH can bring over Los Campesinos! I'll ask. How AMAZING is WABWAD? BRILLIANT!!
umm also i see that a WHOLE 17 people have demanded that LC come to brisbane!? that seems the perfect size for a small intimate concert to me, am i wrong in thinking this? no i am not.
The comment was something along the lines of (supposed to be the reason why it should be played): "Because they are not MGMT whom you have played just about every time and who are neither unsigned, lesser known or breaking artists as this website purports to show."
Pardon me for winning at life, LC!ers, but I do believe I totally got LC! on MySpace Mixtape: http://www. myspace. com/channelv. As far as I can tell, it is mostly because I suggested it with a really bitchy comment about how they always play the same crap over and over again, but I'll take that, eh?
Ha! My degree is faff. But that's why we love it, no? Or, at least, that's why it took me 3 years to discover it. I encourage all to pursue a bachelor of something equally pointless but fulfilling. Including you.
I wee-ed with excitement the other day when I saw a recommendation for the Auz-heartz-los-camp myspace page graffitied on the back of a toilet door at UQ. Happily, I was already in said toilet.
