Pitchfork

There's you. There's me. And then there's Los Campesinos!, those Welsh wonders with their Pitchfork Recommended debut LP Hold on Now, Youngster... And of course, there's dancing. Not to mention singing, shouting, and perhaps even a little drinking.

Los Campesinos! have offered up a real glut of new opportunities to get you, them, and dancing in the very same spot, as they've bolstered their itinerary with a spring North American tour and more gigs in the UK and Europe.

Currently in Germany, laying copies of their star-studded "Los Campe-'zine'os" on anyone willing to keep 'em away from the lager, the Campesinos! will make their way to South by Southwest, spend a couple days in Sweden to close out March, head back to the UK in April, and hit France with the Go! Team as they slide into May. They'll be knee deep at ATP vs. Pitchfork May 9-11, then head off to Jersey in mid-May to kick off those North American touring plans.

With all that set, now all they've gotta do is get Hold on Now, Youngster... into stores in North America. (It's currently available as a digital release here, and is on shelves in Europe courtesy of Wichita.) With a little help from Arts & Crafts, they'll knock that one off the list April 1.
