Foals

Foals at the Olympia was a gig I had been waiting for for what seemed like forever. I came late to them as a band – loving their new stuff and from there working backwards. They didn’t disappoint. A ram packed Olympia was raring to go, and great support from That Fucking Tank and Cage the Elephant (who have one of the cockiest front men I have ever seen, but were actually pretty brilliant live) whipped them into a suitable frenzy. Foals came out and slammed through their set, with the best light show I have seen in years – my photos don’t even begin to do it justice. The stage dives, and even a balcony dive, were just the icing on the cake.
