Percussion-based “drum ‘n’ shout” band Foot Village (a group composed of four drummers, two of which occasionally yell at you through megaphones) are embarking on an East Coast tour this October. Still coasting off the adrenaline of their third European tour (which included an appearance at the Portishead-curated All Tomorrow’s Parties at London’s Alexandra Palace) and a new release on FatCat, the trip will include another chant-inducing performance at the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival in Asbury Park, New Jersey along with several DIY shows along the East Coast.
To commemorate the tour, Foot Village are also holding a remix competition of one of their tracks, the 16-minute “Let Bebongs Be Bebongs, Idiot.” The best of the remixes will be included on a special tour release; you can grab the stems of the track here (I suggest adding some goddamn guitars to the mix, Auto-Tuning that shit, and phoning in a Nicki Minaj verse).
Tourdates are listed below, and if the band isn’t coming to your city, don’t worry. You should be able to hear their set from miles away.
