Los Campesinos!

The exclamation point is theirs. Don't hold it against them. They're teenagers, from Cardiff, Wales, wearing short pants. Four boys and three girls. A violin, of course - doesn't every indie-pop band have a violin? And along with a lot of other hyper-active pop songs at the Parish on Saturday, Los Campesinos! singer Gareth sang at least one great one in "You! Me! Dancing!": "If there's one thing I could never confess, it's that I can't dance a single step." They play Johnny Brenda's on May 15.
