Los Campesinos! -- ROMANCE IS BORING

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
i listen, and i think well, this is what would happen if you took what i don't care so much for about the new pornographers and made it even more annoying. guess it's not really my thing, which always throws me for a loop on here when certain folks are raving about the awesomeness of a band and i end up hating it (opinions on well-known bands or mainstream popular stuff...u2, radiohead...don't fall into this category). more often than not i won't see eye to eye with the love-fest, but i might think it's good and eventually pick up the album if i remember of its existence when i'm at the music store. every now and then i run into something that makes me scratch my head and wonder...

Ha. If it makes you feel any better, I fucking loathe Snow Patrol.

i liked them for about 30 seconds when i saw a cover of "teenage kicks" on my ipod that i had no memory of obtaining. it went something like this: *scroll, scroll, scroll* "wait, wtf? snow patrol? what possessed me to put anything of theirs on here? huh? the undertones?! cool! *press play* "oh this sucks, where the fuck did i get this?"
 
Thank you, Los Campesinos!, for distracting me from the road and getting me my first speeding ticket in four and a half years.

The real question is what's up with illegal downloading of a band you know nothing about?
 
I don't think the song titles are pretentious so much as they are cheeky.

I laugh every time I look at them.

Yeah, I always see them as goofing on bands that take those sorts of titles seriously, ie: Panic! At the Disco.
 
I really wish a mod would delete the damn thing, honestly. Just because I think gays can do whatever the hell they want doesn't mean I want to see a dude with a cock in his mouth any time I want to talk The Camperinos.
 
Interesting album... Romance Is Boring, the song, is really great... the rest, it'll grow on me... or not.

I don't see a cock anywhere.

Obviously your own personal memory is filling in the blanks.
 
Initial North American dates announced, via the website/blog:

It is our pleasure to announce that in this coming April/May we will once again traverse the Atlantic Ocean to play shows in North America. These are SOME OF the dates. More to be announced in due course, so please don’t go flipping out just yet if we don’t appear to be playing somewhere you would like us to be. There’ll still be plenty of time for that later.

We’re very excited to be touring Romance Is Boring in the States and Canada, and playing all these new songs to you.

(All shows ALL AGES unless marked otherwise)
April
20 Toronto, ONT Phoenix Theatre (18+)
22 New York, NY Irving Plaza
24 Boston, MA Paradise Rock Club
27 Washington, DC 9:30 Club
30 Chicago, IL Cabaret Metro

May
04 Seattle, WA Showbox Theatre
07 San Francisco, CA Grand Ballroom
08 Los Angeles, CA El Rey Theatre

9th May is the last day of the Premiership season, so it looks like we might be needing somewhere in LOS ANGELES to watch THE SOCCER. Nice one.
 
It will be pretty cool to see them at the Metro, I must say. Hallowed ground, around these parts, even if they rarely book any worthwhile acts, these days. Will be baller, I'm sure.
 
I wonder when the rest of the dates will be announced. If there's no Austin date in there, Gareth is turning into Boner.
 
It looks like if there's a Philly show, it'll be right around finals week time, so there's no way I'm gonna be able to drive back home for it. Damn.
