Los Campesinos! announce U.S. tour

By Alex Young on February 29th, 2008

Los Campesinos! will soon be making Americans dancing. (Clever pun?) The seven-piece U.K. band, who physically release their debut album Hold on Now, Youngster… April 1, have announced dates for their upcoming U.S. tour. (Dates after the jump…)

The tour includes a stop at this year’s SXSW. The CD is currently available digitally via galleryAC.com.

As one of my current favorite bands, I’ve gotta say…I’m quite excited about this.
