The Foals played last Monday (6.14.08) at Neumos.  They had a secret/special guest who ended up being Wolf Parade.  I was really only going for Wolf Parade who i’ve yet to see. That day i checked out The Foals online, listened to a few songs but wasn’t immediately stoked on their sound.  It usually takes a few listens for me to dig on most stuff though.

Hardstab went to the Sub Pop 20th show at Marymoor the previous weekend and mentioned that The Foals were awesome live. The lead singer of the Foals was going ape shit breaking stuff on stage.  Sounded like it was gonna be a great show.

The Foals went on around 10 and the lead singer def showed some onry rockstar traits right off the bat.  Rad.  After about the third song Hardstab yelled out “break your mic!”.  Or something like that.  Dude replied “I’ll break something, where you at”.  Whoa!  Sweet…Hardstab was taunting the rockstar.  The next song, dude jumped off the stage with guitar and started moving through the crowd towards Hardstab.  Uh oh.  Nothing exciting panned out but it was a bit intimidating to see dude moving toward us after a half-assed threat.

Wolf Parade was awesome.  Sound was good, crowd was stoked, Band was rocking.  Stoked i finally got to see them at a small venue before they reach stadium status.  Next time The Foals come to town go see them.

Here’s a vid i took from the show of “Wolf Parade - You are a Runner and I am my Father’s Son”
