Evil drum circle group Foot Village is about to embark on a tour of the East Coast. “This Song Is a Drug Deal,” a new song by the foursome played live in Brighton, is a taste of what you can expect on the tour. Since their inception in 2007, these veterans (whose credits also include Gang Wizard, Friends Forever, running Deathbomb Arc, and drawing comics) have tried to balance the sheer ecstatic power of their live performances with the difficulty of capturing their super-humanly energetic sound on record. But this clip, as well as a recent 12-inch split on FatCat (which paired them with Malian traditional group Super Khoumeissa), show FV at their most dynamic.
