Foals - Red Socks Pugie (Live on KEXP)

[@kexp]

You're lucky we captured anything! This was when we first started capturing video back in 2007. Compare it to our video now!

[@leblanc_no]

Literally came here to compare, and holy molly you definitely stepped up your game ! However all the oldies are beautiful to watch still nowadays, to see Foals "raw" like this barely 2 years after they started.. amazing

[@kexp]

actually he was having some problems with his throat from a cold. His headphone mix was a little off but it was corrected. that mic is about as standard of a mic as you can get for vocals. They had just been touring for a long time and this was the last day, they were tired but still came in to perform for us.

[@BenjamenMejia]

I keep coming back.. solid mixing.

[@Cesarfro7]

That drummer is such a beast!

[@PolochAngriff]

César Ruiz Yuupp all the time, watch The French Open from the same sesh

[@rentalsnake6542]

Foals have been one of the most consistent indie bands going, not a bad tune in over a decade. They are so young on this one, but the talent is still so strong and the musical prowess is undeniable.

[@KJ-je9pm]

What is amazing about them is they always reinvent their sound every album!

[@zosterinski]

the golden age of Foals.

[@Veridis_voyager]

Thank you KEXP it's cause of you I discovered Foals. 🙂

[@luismanuelconde]

who else watching this in 2020?

[@ethelberht985]

2 words Fuck yes

[@guilhermesignor8358]

amazing seeing how KEXP grew

[@izaiahanderson9734]

Just discovered these heart swells

[@jahnaten]

cant fuck with that in a million years. if i had a choice to listen to a song before i froze to death it would be this one.

[@supermanJOEL2]

i just LOVEEEE the sound of the snare drum its like a chopping sound

[@GenTVR]

yannis is such a fucking god, even when he doesn't hit the right notes he realises yet still has the bollocks to keep going with it, even if he does look pissed off as fuck. genuine musician right there boys

[@TheRedScareIsAlive]

I don't think he's angry... just passionate... at least there are still artists out there who gain passion from their art and craft!!!

[@FRESHENDEAVOUR]

Bevan's drumming is just impeccable.

[@lagginswag]

this is my favorite song of theirs, good progression, awesome ambience, just choice!!!

[@shyx13]

this song especially wen they sing it live....its amazing!

[@jdgonzo1982]

love this song...just got this album and this track stands out a mile...thanks for uploading and sharing :)

[@TheBurgerShack]

I'm not even a huge fan, but I was blown away by this . Sounds like studio quality. Very well done.

[@dresstheque]

despite yannis' chain smoking catching up with him for this song, it's one of the best performances(sound wise) of this song that i've heard. the only thing that gets me, is that when ever they play this song its never nearly fast enough. i'm pretty sure that was a lot slower than the recording. and needs to be 10x faster live than on the recording instead. i only say this because of so much love for this song and wanting to be able to go mental to it instead of bop

[@Thenorthsace]

They always play it slowed down when playing live and it isn't that much of a difference

[@eleven_roses]

For a faster live version check out the one from royal albert hall

[@prozacpeople]

These guys are fucking amazing!

[@Sanmuar]

yannis looks so small

[@MirumeXChaos]

drummer is a machine

[@ericksermon12]

You guys should invite foals again, with some Holy Fire :p

[@Radijo86]

Antidotes forever

[@GravitysRainbow3]

yeahh, i can hear it still amazing

[@dragondreamjln]

This is awesome

[@danieldevlin6993]

Jack is so fuckin good

[@123PullOut321]

Very true. Skinny jeans, like converse and leather jackets will never go away as long as rock exists.

[@Thenorthsace]

Since when did rockers wear converse 😂

[@jazzilluhkills]

Kind of mad they show Jack only in the beginning.

[@siggiarent]

@SwaziStogen Skinny jeans in rock will never become cliched! At every point in time since the 50's (or 501s) there has always been a rock-genre (made up fact) that favoured the "second skin" :-)

[@tkjp999]

Feel so sorry for yannis and his voice in this video, he looks so upset.

[@eatpanda118]

FOALS YES!

[@aLby_doira]

i had a dream that robert smith sat in with the sea and cake....and it sounded good...

[@JeromeAmsterdam]

Like how the sound live! :D

[@amos5129]

Yannis seems pissed

[@FinnJain]

I would be too

[@jazzilluhkills]

He is criticizing himself. He has talked about it before in a interview.

[@vldmrhrnndz]

Well he was signaling to up the volume of his mic, that might be it...

[@jdgonzo1982]

you all seem confused as to why the dude looks angry...he couldn't hear anything properly...he was frustrated as he probably needed to hear everything to help with the singing...KEXP was still young in terms of video recording and audio recordings. It was probably an absolute nightmare at the time....hence the singers frustrated looks...! x

[@retroremo]

If you foals you met like to listen to three trapped tigers. you could say there a fusion between foals, holy fuck ( who supported foals at Brixton), and battles. The Drummer is amazing.

[@Dakotaisunavailable]

@semiLivedj ha i'm a musician myself...i dont have what i would call aLOT of studio time under my belt yet, probly only a hundred hours and some change. but i sing and play guitar, mandolin, trumpet, piano....and i'm just starting to pick up drumming, ironically. I think when we say "loops" and "sampling" we're referring to slightly different things....

[@23lFrench]

God Is An Astronaut I like and Russian Circles are cool. I have not heard of the band Jakob though but I will check them out

[@jondoejc73]

Why does Yannis look all frustrated throughout the song? sounds awesome

[@ethelberht985]

He was sick lol

[@Dakotaisunavailable]

@semiLivedj Well i don't completely agree with you that loops and samples are ONLY used to make the recording process less expensive [if thats what you're saying. if not, my bad], some bands put a lot of time and effort into using the medium effectively in my opinion. As far as what Foals' music reflects of the negative impact that the recording industry has had on musicianship, I tend to agree with you. I need to explore more of their music before I can say that with finality, though.

[@TheProletarius]

huge fun of them....so i like....

[@Dakotaisunavailable]

@semiLivedj I, of course, totally agree with you, in a recording studio, loops and samples of instruments are often used to speed up the recording process, i'm guilty of doing it myself when i'm using my 8 track at home. I meant more like when bands use samples of sounds that aren't made with an instrument as an integral part of their sound. But yeah, long story short, using loops and samples to cut corners...not the right way to do it. I'd rather learn to play it myself. if i have the time.

[@APHEXSHAMAN]

the overhead mics for the kit look pretty awesome, anyone know what they're called??

[@libb_y]

What kind of rim is on the drummer's snare? I want to purchase one.

[@J_VTZ]

[@Thenorthsace]

❤💛❤💛❤💛

[@griffinmpable]

@semiLivedj i agree with what youre saying,but like samej13, im 20 and i know a bit about music.ive been recording since i was 15 doing covers & originals.ive gone from using tooth pick boxes as shakers in songs to using only one guitar and using my computer for the rest of the instruments to me playing my acoustic with a harmonica.its not just about the companies.musicians need to want to be original and unique otherwise there can be no evolution.weve come a long way,but weve got a ways to go

Boom.

[@J_VTZ]

@jahnaten haha sorry i meant to reply to the comment below yours haha but yes I agree or some thing by the cure like underneath the satrs or to wish impossible things:)

[@analogasmr]

Just to clear this up.... It doesn't matter that you're a music student at Oxford. That doesn't mean you know shit. Actually, IT DOES mean that you know how to read about music out of a textbook, you know how to over-analyze the music itself, and it also mean that you know how to pass tests. But IT DOESN'T mean you know about music.

[@GenTVR]

he sings wrong notes but he realises it so like the good musician he is, he gets pissed off :3

[@jahnaten]

@Foals4Life i dont understand your question.

[@LoveYourMonsterMusic]

Reminds me of Minus the Bear a little.

[@spazmonkey92]

To be honest, education in Music still leaves you knowing shit all except from how to read scores and knowing the birth dates of famous composers.

[@JulOyt]

Holy Sh!t! A baby should learn how to walk by age 4. So keep up the good work!!!

[@carlipolful]

How tall is Yannis??

[@ericksermon12]

5'6 ft (167.64 cm)

[@andbydefinition]

You know it.

[@blictretman]

aye, yamaha does wicked drums.

[@bassart94]

@semiLivedj it has nothing to do with the companies or laptops... music is evolving its as simple as that. if you dont like that then go listen to some led zep or some deep purple. no need to spam here.

[@groovealien]

Yannis @1:43 “What the FUCK?!"

[@jackmartin01]

@omgroflzpwned yup

[@Dakotaisunavailable]

@semiLivedj I don't particularly like Foals' use of loops, I do not think that it is that imaginative or groundbreaking. However, experimentation is and has always been a integral part of music and musicianship, and I think your seemingly naive assumption that musicians use laptops just to be "cheaper" is inaccurate. I don't want to put words in your mouth or bash you like some of these guys have been, I'm just interested in what you meant.

[@coldenight]

@magicpie77 HELL YEAH : D

[@ferbonando]

Chingooooones

i think you mean fitted, skinny are like TOOO tight around the ankles....pipe jeans they were called in the 50's i believe.....

[@giuseppeorellana2172]

qué tal baterista.

[@sharker93]

2:34 - 2:38 probably made him feel even worse. nonetheless, Foals did great in this. ^^

[@GenTVR]

poor bloke, he has a sore throat or someshit, yet he manages to carry on. The king of frontmen ;)

[@Biggestmutemathfan]

No offence but You guys have got to work on filming all the band mates.

[@adotlex101]

Why does Yannis always change the words when live?

[@Thenorthsace]

He doesn't

[@MrHenrick1]

Massive fan but this isn't their best performance - sayin that it's better than alot of other bands on a good day.

[@AnemicGreed]

Old KEXP and Foals 💀

[@andrewsnetw0rk]

I'm just curious semiLivedj, what's an example of a perfect band to you? Better not be The Beatles. I'm not even that huge of a Foals fan, and I'm not exactly defending their fanbase, I'm just wondering because you seem to have ultimate musical knowledge. So please, indulge me.

[@TheProletarius]

1.67 cm ?....oh feel tall !
