TITLE CHANGE BABES

Yes, once again we wave goodbye to another title and hello to a new one; I find Eat Up My Music more cute, but the Myspace is still the same address- www.myspace.com/theantimusic .
Anyway, to celebrate the new title, and as a sorry for not posting in about a year, here's an uber-post.

FOALS/HOLY FUCK/DANANANANAYKROYD- Brixton Academy 16/10/08
The Brixton queue is packed on a Thursday night- everyone there seems to be attractive, well dressed and smoking- basically loads of kids looking badass. Not surprising, seeing as Foals managed to get a big enough crowd to break the barriers at the Underage in August. Tonight, however, I have a feeling it'll be more epic- this is, after all, the sell-out end of tour show for Foals, rather than yet another festival.
Foals have come far since 'Hummer' was released in 2007; by 'coming far', I mean when I mention them in conversation with less musically educated friends (musical retards to us snobs), they'll go 'oh yeah, they were on Skins', rather than 'who the fuck are they? Shut up.' After breaking the mainstream mould with a Skins appearance, Foals set up a summer of festival appearances, TV spots and radio airplay. 'Cassius' became a summer anthem, despite no one actually knowing what the fuck it's about ('the Lighthouse was an accident'?!).
Dananananaykroyd opened the show with an epic performance. To be honest, I'd never actually bothered to sit down and listen to this band before. They're one of those names you see popping up everywhere with various good support slots but never hear all that much talk of. However, after a crazy performance like that, I have to tell you to give them a listen. With a sexy front man, two drummers and a bassist who looks like she wants to kill someone, how could Dananananaykroyd do any wrong? Admittedly they were heckled by some shitends in the crowd, but support bands will always get that.
Following Dananananaykroyd were electro pioneers Holy Fuck. 'Milkshake' and 'Super Inuit' are my Holy Fuck favorites but I can't say I really enjoyed their live set that much. The band looked really into what they were doing and were so focused on making the perfect, exact noises, I don't think they looked at the audience once. What Dananananaykroyd perhaps lacked in structure was made up for with interaction from the band- however good Holy Fuck's music is, it was impossible to properly get into when it just seemed like a band practise to them. All this said, if you're not up for jumping about at shows, I recommend this band for a more laid back performance- their music is sick too.
Finally came Foals, in all their glory. Judging by the surrounding crowd's conversations, some people were less than pleased with the support bands and everyone was ready for foals. From the opening song to the great finale, Foals poured a constant flow of panging guitars, strange lyrics and strange ringing noises out into the world and let the kids tear each other apart to them. I can't ever imagine what Yannis is thinking but he always looks so scared when there's footage of him on TV. I can't say I blame him.
The entire thing ended with a right shebang. Holy Fuck, Dananananaykroyd and Foals all played 'Two Steps Twice' in some sort of multi-drum, musical orgy. With everyone on stage, this was a truly superb sendoff from a truly superb show.
