expostfacto

will definitely have to give DRMWPN a listen.

Come on!

more please

and im super excited about hearing mimas covering TTNG

foals and battles? what, sorry? i doubt you go could go much further from the mark than to compare volcano! to foals.

great follow up. cant wait for the tour!

after the all dayer in london?

YES. I totally just solved it.

Thankyou

are any more dates going to be announced? a bristol/bath date would be good. or brum for that matter.

?

most of the time.
maybe

this

though.

theres too much hate in the world

he got told

and les savy fav. thats not too bad, though...

but going to gigs in bath is a bit of an arse because the trains back to bristol tend to stop before the gig ends. particularly at moles. might give it a go anyway

no bristol date.

how post-your

but i doubt the shows were overly different..I kind of agree with you but I think that you have probably set the bar too high for what they would be like live. and there is no way that the politics mask the "mediocrity" of the music. Indeed, Efrim commented on the monday show to those predictable hacks who say such things re: the politics that much of the material they write is overtly thematically simplistic. One song I think being about being out in the snow, drunk and horny (whether thats a good thing for the band im not sure..)

need to see them live

great article - this is the kind of content that keeps Drowned in Sound worthwhile.
Not sure I quite agree with all the points you make:...
Shellac are definately influential but I cant really see the Math link. Also I really dislike how foals seem to be the pinnacle of the article, almost like excellent, complex bands like Cap n Jazz and Don Cab have somehow seeded the kind of obnoxious pop that foals seem to make. Not a 'backlash' as I realise they have their place. But, Definately a great reference point for a lot of great bands.
