No. 51: Los Campesinos!

Aleksandra Campesinos! - Singing/Keyboards/Melody Horn
Ellen Campesinos! - Bass/Singing
Gareth Campesinos! - Singing/Glockenspiel/Keyboards
Harriet Campesinos! - Violin/Keyboards/Singing
Neil Campesinos! - Guitar/Singing
Ollie Campesinos! - Drums/Singing
Tom Campesinos! - Guitar/Singing

That's a lot of stuff right there. Listening to Los Campesinos! I enjoyed what I heard, but after learning they were a seven piece band with numerous instruments including a Glockenspiel confusion and curiosity crept in.

The band is from Cardiff, Wales and formed just three years ago in early 2006. In many of their songs they feature call/answer, female/male vocals similar to bands like Johnny Foreigner and Broken Social Scene. Like I said earlier I enjoyed the band but with a time slot competing against the Animal Collective DJ set, Joe Pugg and Atmosphere I'm not sure I'll find time for it, unless my curiosity gets the best of me.
