Foals @ Commodore Ballroom, Vancouver, April 10, 2011

 

My favourite album of 2010 was Foals' Total Life Forever.  I was pretty happy to be able to see them twice in October and bought my ticket straight away when they announced another Vancouver show.  They really are quite fantastic live.  They sound superb and Yannis, the lead singer, is well ... mad.  Maybe not the best guy to have a quiet beer with but as a frontman, you can't ask for more.  In San Jose, he climbed up on the bar at the back of the venue.  At the Commodore, he threw a mic stand and a drum into the crowd, crowd surfed for a bit and even climbed up about 20 feet on some amps.  Crazy yes, but not a show I'll forget any time soon.
