Artist Biography
Los Campesinos! are an indie pop band which formed in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom in 2006. The band consists of Gareth Campesinos! (vocals, glockenspiel, keyboards), Kim Campesinos! (vocals, piccolo, harmonium), Tom Campesinos! (guitar, vocals, keyboards), Neil Campesinos! (guitar), Ellen Campesinos! (bass, vocals), Harriet Campesinos! (violin, keyboards, vocals) and Ollie Campesinos! (drums). Aleksandra Campesinos! (vocals, keyboards, glockenspiel) left the band in 2009 to focus on her study. She was replaced by Gareth's sister Kim in September 2009. Rob Campesinos! (guitar, keyboards, glockenspiel), who performs solo as Sparky Deathcap, is the semi-official ninth Campesinos! - the band compares his role in the band to the one Bob Nastanovich had in Pavement. The band's name translates to "The Peasants" (or "The Farmers") in Spanish.
