Los Campesinos! Announce Tour Record Box Competition

• 17th Jul 2009

Los Campesinos! are about to hit the road on their first tour since finishing their upcoming album.

To celebrate the tour, the return to the US and the band's general adoration of the 'local record shop', they've decided to build the ultimate LC!
fan's prize: a hand-picked selection of records… Neatly packed in a durable tour-proof* box.

The band will be filming the box's travels across the tour, documenting everything that goes in – be it a lucky find from a bargain bin, or a
friend's band's signed pressing.

To win the box, you'll have to follow its travels, across the US and across the internet.

* Los Campesinos! make no guarantees that the box is actually tour proof, and would hope that dents, scratches and general tampering with its
appearance would be part of its eventual charm.

Unfortunately the tour is only across America, but here's the dates anyway.
