Foxygen - In the Darkness & No Destruction | A Take Away Show

[@NolalanD]

Whatever you might think of them, it takes balls to perform like this, and they are just kids having fun with it. Spontaneous, fun, definitely missing from rock n roll these days, no?

[@TreStyles666]

My first glipse of them was San Fransico. Now I'm realizing they aren't as childish cute&cuddly as I thought. These are some pretty rowdy hippies. It's awesome.

[@bmx3347]

"I didn't realize" ... didn't realize I couldn't steal this orange.

[@arturoposadas8977]

He explained himself right after, and they even went back to purchase some fruit from the same guy...

[@kamina1498]

+Arturo Posadas I thought it was an apple.

[@mintynovember8458]

I didn't realize that people selling suff usually required a payment of some sorts? Still, all pretty glorious!!

[@lafudge2929]

He meant he didn't realize he still had it. He got distracted by singing.

[@knauckles]

I thought they were on lsd the first time I saw this... that is definitely something you would NOT realize if you were on LSD that shit isn't free hahah

[@davidadams2395]

We need rock personalities like this. Love these guys.

[@everton1941]

SHEER GENIUS. PLEASE COME BACK...ROCK & ROLL NEEDS THE FOXYGEN!!!

[@pauserepeat787]

7:55 "Dude you scared a crowd of kids twice today" *smiles innocently while looking in the distance*

[@markturner9010]

Played this for two little ones today and they absolutely loved it, could not have been more proud.

[@Chimel31]

Cute young guys recording great music live as they walk the streets of Paris, awesome! They remind me of the many British progressive rock bands of the 1970s but I guess that's the idea. The songs on this album are really nice, I'll need to check their two more recent albums. Now, if I can make a musical suggestion for their next album, steal Chantecler apples ("pommes"), they taste much better. And Chantecler rhymes with éclair and pomme with pom pom pom pom, it all fits together man!

[@floatingcoffin]

Appearance and attitude makes me think Morrison. Voice and songwriting style makes me think Jagger.

[@sratus]

...or in other words, it's unoriginal on every level

[@startervisions]

Lou Reed

[@davidino1236]

@@sratus what is original? These guys write beautiful songs. what more do you need?

[@wellthismachinekills3809]

Van or Jim ?

[@davidino1236]

@@wellthismachinekills3809 Jim I'm assuming. Van Morrisons aesthetic doesn't usually come up.

[@theupsetter6599]

4:20 literally fucking yelling smoking pot in the suburb at some little kids haha best part

[@thomasgooden]

I want to see a documentary on this group of kids, to get to know them better.

[@yahstino]

they have a bunch of old vids of themselves up on youtube from when youtube was first around. type in "col. bedlum and the salty biscuits", if you wanna know what they were like right when they formed the band years ago.

[@yahstino]

+Le Dan Theman Playlists i feel like they were really really inspired to the point of borderline copying the BJM and a few other artists who were actually from the 60's(Barrett, Morrisson, Jagger) as far as their stage presence and perfermances go. However i fucking love their music and i think they can be a huge success unless they sabotage themselves due to over-thinking their aesthetic like most people who play their kind of music do.

[@thomasgooden]

+Justin Simmons I feel you. old bands they were inspired by.

[@GoatDust]

they have a mock-rockumentary on here from when they were like 16. Sam is there and rado comes in later

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

I heard their music was literally just for fun and like a joke back when they were younger, sam france said they were basically actors pretending to be a rock band and then they got semi famous, sam and rado apparently don't know how they feel about doing this whole thing as a career

[@digi3363]

"You can't play classical music anymore because your babysitter pushed you out of a fuckin' window" haha i'm cracking up - Barry from Ontario

[@BarryWarne]

when did it suddenly become 1971 again ? : ) Love the tunes. Nice vid. Where in paris is that ?

[@darklordrabey]

I think the lead singer is great and it really has nothing to do with being cool. His voice is great and he does not care what others think and he just does what he wants, that is admirable. Oh, and the make up, a man wearing dark make up is always great.

[@vancestephens5460]

Really? I think he's a phoney pretentious narcissist,, and it's obvious in the way he speaks and acts towards to the guitarist. The phoney is obvious in how in each of their songs he tries to channel a different psyche/glam rocker from the 60s + 70s and pass it off as "rebranded but original" or whatever. I like their music though, so I'll continue to listen.

[@alientrash1216]

His voice can do so many things wowwow

[@Tomas1242]

Yeah, I happened across them at Pitchfork after their set and took some pictures and such.. They're super cool, the drummer even follows me on instagram now

[@francitron_art_3]

Excellent video, and is fantastic how good they sounds playing at the streets!! Awesome

[@basti_marr]

6:36 he was so happy with Sam's performance

[@YukoBizarra]

Any musician who has a strong personality is instantly a dickhead... my friends, that is called performance, show, is putting out there something interesting. After seeing this,im finally in love with Foxygen.

[@pauserepeat787]

precisely! also the music is fantastic so who cares

[@Sugarskulls_forever]

Omg this one is hilarious!! XD I love how the children scatter away from him!!

[@apian29]

This is so great my new favourite band

[@caelwyn]

So Refreshing, love the whole vibe around the band. Many a band have had to have a lead singer with the same care free attitude who ignore those who poke fun at them. Marc Bolan would not have made it without a similar attitude Bowie too, and the Stones they were ridiculed to start with and look how massive they became!

[@andreche10]

this is genius all around. the film work, the songs and sam france just being weird. sad to see this band flounder after getting some success. they could have been great if they continued on

[@tommy7977]

so sad

[@yahstino]

I doubt they ever could have been "great," but they have certainly gathered a fan base and it's sad to see them disregard those who enjoyed their music. I hope Sam and Rado are doing alright nonetheless

[@TheHumbleLOUD]

They make music, really good music, and they obviously love doing it, so what else matters? Certainly not your opinions, or mine, so simply listening seems the best option.

[@TheDubdubwubwub]

6:15 Mick Jagger kicks in!

[@markturner9010]

"No need to be an asshole your not in Brooklyn anymore" Great line or the greatest line?

[@normanverzosa1167]

Mark Turner agreed ,very good lyric

[@toANGepi]

This is so wonderful.

MAYBE I WONT EVEN GO TO WORK THAT DAY

[@ocoeepicture]

dude's got such a beautifully simple voice

[@theresaripley5891]

Love your music! Reminds me of Jim Morrison

[@funkmonk302]

not sure why people are complaining about a musician who has an ego. Too bad they were born in the wrong generation, really good stuff

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

any good rock band has a singer with a big ego...

Brilliant & in front of Sacre Couer! ❤

living the 60's rock star life and look. COOL

[@PuNkDeLa125st]

I love their 60's sound and his persona reminds me of Darby Crash, from The Germs. Love them and their music.

When he goes to the kids singing Pot in the subway i almost lost all of the shit inside me with exploding laughter

[@chappythe3rd]

Incredible insight on the music man

[@GemsKosher]

I got the pleasure of talking to him right after the Flaming Lips show at Forecastle and he was a really down to earth guy who gave me some advice too. He complimented my branch hat, then gave me a high 5. Really cool.

[@inesnavyblue1290]

Love this how he laid back he is

Que bellos son!!!! Lloraré 💖

I literally do this shit downtown with my friend every week. Except we just make up shit and sound terrible.

[@Ssttaarrdduusstttt]

So maybe later, man There's an elegant land In the darkness And maybe in the mind It's a hell of a time In the darkness And maybe in space There's an alien race I wouldn't be surprised So without further ado We'd like to introduce you to The darkness Standing in the countryside With soda pop and Montebay He's always standing outside, looking in They smile but they don't look at him They say that it may take a while To put more diamonds in my smile And maybe I won't even go to work that day I don't care if I'm in trouble at all I'll just sit on this hill With my fingers in the still Of the darkness
