Friday 30th April
Doors 7.30pm

The band's second album, Total Life Forever, has been described by the band members as sounding like “tropical prog” and “like the dream of an eagle dying”. In August 2009, Foals started recording their album at Svenska Gramofon in Gothenburg, Sweden. The band have described the album as being “a lot less funk” than they had originally planned. A number of new songs have been debuted at recent concerts including ‘Total Life Forever’, ‘Alabaster’, ‘O-Funk’ and ‘Spanish Sahara’.

Total Life Forever is slated for release May 10, 2010. On March 1, 2010, the promotional single ‘Spanish Sahara’ was featured on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show. Foals' new website was updated that night with the release of a video for the track. The next single ‘This Orient’ is expected to be released on May 3, 2010.

Tickets £13.50 from NuSu. For more info email events(at)ncl.ac.uk

Robots in DisguiseOther Rooms
Newcastle Upon Tyne
April 3rd

Fashions change quickly in modern pop and a band that was in fashion suddenly become old news. Robots in Disguise rose to fame alongside the emergence of Mighty Boosh in live venues across the country. Special mention to SDF Collective and Billy Bloodaxe as they made the local support slots vital again and not just a token gesture to get friends and family along. Now the trio are three albums down the line and they still have a hardcore following them and unique tattoos and odd fashion choices fill the room tonight. They can certainly put on a show as the crowd went gaga for the anthems such as ‘Sex has made me stupid’ and ‘Turn it up’. Their brand of shouty pop is a refreshing change from the fashionable indie NME pop. They are here to party and have a good time and make it a memorable night and they succeeded. They are currently working on album number four and they might never be massive but they certainly have a place in a lot of hearts.
