Location: Preston

Description: Delightfully diverse and interesting semi-acoustic four-piece, combining intricate guitar and keyboard led melodies with husky, northern vocals and romantic, dreamy lyrics to create what is surely some of the most impressive unsigned music around.

Background: Ivan Campo claim to have met 'by chance' in Preston in the year 2000 and played together under the guise of many diiferent names before settling as Ivan Campo (insert Bolton Wanderers reference here) in 2003.

A seven track demo, Clipping of Gross Negligence' was completed soon afterwards andthe band set sabout getting their name recognised on the Preston music scene. Successful shows at the old and new 12 Bar, as well as a few busy shows at the modest Railway pub have eared Campo the recogniotion they deserve.

Despite all pictures of the band denoting the presence of four musicians, a mystery fifth member is listed in the official band biography. Maybe an obvious explanation or maybe just another quirk in the bands' recently coveted 'journey to Campodia.'

Current Status: Impressing constantly on the local scene and have gigs lined up in Manchester and Liverpool. Also putting finishing touches to a full album recording named 'Wolf in Sheeps Clothing.'
