As the story in this week's Observer will tell you, Los Campesinos! never went out looking for buzz-band status. But based on a sampling of folks on the street here back in January, we could've told you there's something special about the catchy, upbeat sounds from this British septet -- seven musicians who, we'll note one more time, each take Campesinos! as their professional last name.
They'll take the stage at The Granada tomorrow night following sets by Girls and The Smith Westerns, and if you want to give them a chance to win you over, but don't want to pay to do so, have we got a deal for you: free tickets, if you can claim them fast enough.Be one of the first five to drop me an email with your name and the subject line, "I Am Campesinos!" and a pair of tickets is all yours. Contest is over -- congrats to our winners. Exclamation point.
