The song progressed into songs off their sophomore release, 'Total Life Forever', where they played 'Blue Blood', the aforementioned 'Spanish Sahara', and the amped-up 'Two Steps, Twice'. Ebbing and flowing with the music, people crowd surfing and ramming into each other. They ran through a few of their hits from their first album, 'Mathletics', such as 'Red Socks Pugie', and 'Cassius'. He had a wireless setup for that guitar - a tipoff that I immediately recognized. Then lead singer Yannis Phillippakis takes the stage, his signature black Travis Bean guitar in hand. That song is probably the tamest one they played, and I couldn't be more grateful.Ī strobe light show starts off their performance to the band members entering one by one. Turns out that one song was merely a comma in the string of punctuations this band is capable of creating. Just that one song and my mind was made up.

The first time I saw Foals was only after I had just listened to their song, 'Spanish Sahara'. These are the words that come to mind when I think about a Foals show.
