Yannis Philippakis of Foals announces new club night

His band are hard at work on their fifth album, but Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis is a busy boy, and has announced that he’s starting a new club night!

MILK. will be hosted at Peckham hotspot Rye Wax, with the first edition set to run next Thursday (18th January).

“I want to make a club night that me & my friends would want to go to. Where the night acts like a sort of dream collider of different musicians in the hope of the surprising, the life affirming & the down right dirty,” Yannis says of MILK. in a press release.

A” night that is liberating for both audience & musicians who’ll get to play outside of their usual confines. No night will be the same,” he continues. “Each time a surprise. The music goes late, the party is hedonistic, the musicians free & brought together in the spirit of the moment.

“And something permanent, a permanent archive of the night is captured for those who want it & cut into vinyl round the corner. Fresh milk in a bottle. This is gonna be for the ‘heads.”

100 tickets have been released for the first MILK. (18th January), and are available from here.
