Seems Foals are a pretty big deal now

i didnt expect them to play in hull :)

:D

that's a bit big, innit?

just 'jesus christ' ridiculous.

what I was thinking? Trust it to get an Academy after I move away...

MARCH.

I don't get them. I don't like them. Am I getting too old, or is pop getting too shit?

On DiS ?
Naaaahhhhh...

transgressive are fucking major. i mean like, i've never heard of warners or emi but transgressive? yeah they're totally major. major.

or they have a controlling stake or something like that. They wouldn't get played on daytime Radio 1 otherwise!

as without the help of Warner, their artists wouldn't be getting the hype, attention, press and radio play. Most indie labels have some influence from a major label, aprt from the really small ones and Rough Trade and Warp.

I'm surprised by how much they've taken off, they're alright but not wonderful. But these guys playing a tour this big is better than it being the Enemy or pidgeon detectives or such like.

Are supposed to be supporting too aren't they? That would be pretty swish.

klaxons did two nights, i cannot see foals doing three.

Nail. Head.

Bravo that man.

the biggest pile of shite I've ever read on this website there balck rooster. The headline anyway.

I loved that venue BITD, I thought it was now a dodgy nightclub. Good news.

is a BIG deal indeed

most people will always remember that things that are popular were better 'back in the day' usually remembering things being good that many other people especially older than you would call rubbish.

I'm not saying that it necessarily is, but in general most people will think of stuff being in the charts as not being as good as when they were younger. Goes in the same argument box as 'kids today have no respect'.

REALLY!? Best/funniest news EVER!

Still haven't seen them live...kinda missed the boat on this one.

all the time.

is that Transgressive have a sweet deal going with Warner, and get to promote their artists on a larger scale, without sacrificing anything of the label.

They are still just an indie label - just now they also get VIP tickets to glasto...

I arrive two days afterwards. I probably would have gone as well.

I mean what about Swansea? Not that I'm bothered about seeing Foals, just a point in general about bands going on tour.

You mean people who have only recently heard them, like them, and want to see them? Don't be such a pretentious wank.

remember saying after I had seen Foals a few times a few years ago that they were amazing, but they'll go nowhere, no one will like them and they will probably disappear real soon.

This is fucking weird. Brixton Academy? Say what?

when DISers were saying how good foals were?
what changed?
x

I like them, album was a bit dissapointing, but they are dead fun live.

Dunno if it'll work very well in a huge arena though?

paying Swansea lately. When I went to see Young Knives in Sin City I had to catch a 3:35am bus home . . NICE!
