“Of all the weird scum-hunch folk ensembles I’ve heard over the last few years, Foot Village may be the most chaotic. Created and staffed by members of some LA underground heavies, this is a rather masterful effort, even when things are a little more controlled.” - WIRE
Foot Village are a thunderous drum-n-shout assembly from Los Angeles - a thick forest of whirling limbs beating out rhythms for whispers and hollers to leap and dive through. Featuring members of Gang Wizard, Friends Forever and the infamous International Voice of Reason, Foot Village are pure hardcore spirit without the spark of electricity.
Erecting civilisation with drums and voices alone, Foot Village are the first nation built after the foreseeable apocalypse. Don’t get this self-imposed restraint confused with some neo-luddite stance however, as Foot Village only want to inspire others with the wide potential of rock music. Anything becomes possible if you have an idea to run with.
“Best discovery Foot Village” - Guardian UK
“proof that an all-percussion band need not be a one trick pony, and
that the constraints of Foot Village’s instrumentation are in fact a
springboard for variety” - Altered Zones
“wholly unhinged and chaotically great” 8/10 - Vice Magazine
The group hurls themselves so devoutly into every second that their
urgency becomes contagious.” - Pitchfork

Attending FVCC next Spring, learn some freshman anti-magic '12. Any alumni here? I was wondering if anyone had any spicy anecdotes of that race to the end of food.

Hello everyone, The Foot Village western states tour begins this Monday in Denver. We've decided to donate all the profits from this tour to the Japan relief fund being organized by Shinji of Boredoms/DMBQ. There will be a show at the Smell in April also to raise money for this relief fund at which we will donate this money. Details are forthcoming on that show. There is also a relief fund benefit at the Smell tonight (I'm not sure which fund this one goes to) with No Age, DSS, and SFV Acid performing. If you would like to donate directly to this fund, you can send paypal direct to Shinji Masuko: dmbq@dmbq.net Love, Foot Village
