Foot Village - World Fantasy 10"

      Foot Village is a 4 peice all-drum band with a geography fetish! It features members of the well known bands Gang Wizard, Rose for Bohdan, House 1 and 2, Rainbow Blanket, Windard of Ox, and Drug the Corpse. Together they bang out battling rythms on their 4 head-to-head kits. They chant and scream and shout and sing poetry about the countries of the world! Each song is titled the country of which it's about (ex. Brazil, Ethiopia, and the wonderful Where Ever the Fuck Arnold Schwartzenegger's From). Before they write a song they research a country and then completely base the lyrics on the research. With all the information they plan on beginning a country of their own called, you guessed it, Foot Village.
      The beats are clashing and booming, cave-dwellingly primitive, and ever so often bouncy and dancey. Starting and stopping right on cue (like in Great Britain and the Bermuda Rebellion) works out perfectly for this quartet of talent percussionists.
      Right from the start they grab your attention and they certainly don't ever let go. By the end of the powerful half hour you're left wanting much more.
      Though this 10" is currently out of print, Not Not Fun records has a list of Distros that stock their stuff from time to time and might just have a few copies.
