FOALS INTERVIEW 2
THE development of Foals appears to be unfolding as quite an exciting tale. Following our interview with the funk riddled quintet at Bestival last year - Foals have created quite a stir in the music world. Their debut single ‘Balloons’ is out now, taken from their eagerly anticipated album due for release in March this year.
We couldn’t resist grabbing another quick chat with frontman Yannis to ask some very fundamental questions. What hard graft did Foals have to put in to achieve such great success? Which track would Yannis like to learn on the SMHTP Multiplayer and most importantly do they have any crazy touring tales to share with the rest of us?

The King Blues
The King Blues have come a long way in their four years together – and they're primed to go a lot further yet.
Armed with a ukulele, a guitar and a commitment to politics and resistance, The King Blues began life in 2004 when Itch and Jamie Jazz began performing at squat parties and punk shows in and around London. Guitarist Fruitbag joined soon after. Inspired by the reggae-reared punk bands such as The Clash, The Specials and Operation Ivy and the growing worldwide resistance movement, they played anywhere that would have them – pavements, car parks, political rallies and on The King Blues Sound System – a mobile PA carried on a giant tricycle that the band built, allowing them to play literally anywhere. Few bands can say they genuinely come from the streets, but The King Blues are one of them.
