Los Campesinos! were on tour earlier this month celebrating the tenth anniversary (!) of their 2008 albums Hold On Now, Youngster… and We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed. Time really does fly.
On November 13 they kicked off their two-night run at Elsewhere in Brooklyn, where they performed a good chunk of songs from those albums, as well as a few of their others ones, including some stuff from last year’s Sick Scenes (which they toured in support of last year – including a performance at Warsaw last March). Opening the show was Adult Mom, who we also caught earlier this year when they opened up for Lucy Dacus at MHOW.
The performance was a pure celebration of the band and their music, with fans getting to hear a wide variety of favorites, and proving their adoration by singing back nearly every damn word with passion and authority that was a marvel to be a part of. Their energy was great throughout the night the fact that they’re still going as strong as ever after 10 years when so many of their peers have faded away is something pretty special to witness.
