Red Socks Poughkeepsie

Me and Bellini went to the Foals show yesterday at the Bowery Ballroom. I think it was her first time there, we met up with Maya and 2 of her friends and had drinks in the downstairs lounge until the Epochs started. They werent bad, and the last 2 minutes of most of their songs were really good. But the rest was sort of a standard frat-rock. The dudes themselves looked like they went to Birmingham Southern and it had the feel of an ATO party from my stoney heyday. But you can do whatever you want when you open for Foals and have a guaranteed enormous crowd watching and waiting for the band after you.

Foals went on a little after 11, and we somehow got good spots in the crowd even after me and Belinda went downstairs for another round of drinks after The Epochs got done with their set. There were a bunch of Britons in the crowd last night, and we were talking to a few Londoners who were occupying the same space in the crowd with us. Foals played just about all of their best songs. I got videos for Balloons, Olympic Airways, and Red Socks Pugie. But they also played Cassius, The French Open, Hummer, Mathletics, Heavy Water, Two Steps Twice, and Electric Bloom. And everything sounded marvelous. Definitely the best show of this year so far.
