Foals team up with Bloc Party, Kieran Hebden
Looks like those Foals boys have been busy building a crew.
First off comes the news that the spindly quintet have recorded some special b-sides with none other than Keiran Hebden. The three tracks will arrive later this year, trapped in the tracks of etched 12" vinyl. Poly-vinyl? Tasty.
Not content with just boasting Hebden, they've apparently accepted a 'personal invitation' from Bloc Party to support the band's December tour. Though quite who Bloc Party think they are issuing 'personal invitations' is beyond me. Standard surely?
Anyway, here are the dates:
December
12 Glasgow SECC
13 Manchester Central
14 London Alexandra Palace
15 London Alexandra Palace
Ally Pally eh? Good stuff. Preceding all of this is the single release of 'Mathletics', which is out through Transgressive in July on limited 7" and download.
This is all...Transmission ends...

Bloc party = good
Foals = awesome
Secc and paying £30 or so for the privilidge = gay as gay can be
not sure about this one.
Hebden stuff sounds cool though.
big gigs are gash
don't bother. you'll be at uni in england in a year and a bit anyway. gigs galore, if you choose the right place.
since i saw franz at alexandra palace
i've said no more big gigs. expensive and crap. don't think i'm even going to go see interpol even though i love them, i don't think i'd enjoy it.
yaah
alexandra palace, wembley arena and similar sized venues all SUCK.
if it was at brixton it would be cool. but i've seen foals in tiny venues and i saw bloc party at the mean fiddler in january so i'll skip thiss.

Sorry Kev.
They
were terrifed of Rock City, just think of how scary Ally Pally must be!!!
Alexandra Palace!
I'm going there a few days later for the World Darts Championships. Yeeeah!
i thought
foals were going to work with Liar's producer?
that's probably
for the album, this is all about b-sides.
