Tonight in Seattle:  

Late-breaking Los Campesinos show news...

Not to make Los Campesinos our Fleet Foxes of the day (by posting and posting about them) but I HAVE to post about them this time because there's BIG NEWS to announce about tomorrow night's show.

There're some places around town that have listed Tullycraft as opening the show--but come to find out, no one ever told Tullycraft about the show so they let their well-dressed guitarist Chris Munford head off on holiday to Sweden last week (where he'll be until they head to their East Coast tour next week).

BUT, do not be dismayed -- there will be a part of Tullycraft up on stage opening tomorrow night's show -- a very special part actually. Tullycrafters Corianton Hale and Jenny Mears will be performing as The Special Places.

Who knows what kind of *special* surprises they are going to open the show with, but here's a sample of the duo in action at last year's Magnetic Fields tribute when Cori lead "Papa Was A Rodeo" (just imagine it without Sean singing back-up and without Chris in the background supplying some back up guitar-- pretty sweet, huh?):

And who else here wants to see another Los Campesinos video? Me too! Here's a super dooooper one:

 

Seriously... I don't know how tomorrow night could get any better...

Oh my GOD the Special Places are AWESOME!! Think they will bust out their cover of Josie Cotton's "Johnny Are You Queer?"???

Oh -- I hope so! And I hope someone is there to YouTube it!

exciting news. thanks for the update.

And someone YouTube'd the Special Places first song!

Sooooo cute!

We'll have a review of the Los Campesinos! show soon -- but until then, I'll just keep exclaiming to passers by about how INCREDIBLE the whole night was. LC! was in top form and it's not just me saying that... I spoke with several converts on my way out of Neumos after the show. The sea of huge grins on indie-rockers' faces in the packed venue was an awesome sight. The evening was chock full of joy and bliss. I can't wait to read Kiku's review and see Jeanine's photos from the night so I can relive the whole thing.

Here's that video!
