Interview: Foals' Yannis Philippakis on Part 2 of 'Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost'.

"I didn't lie," declares Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis proudly, as I commend him for making good on his promise from back in February, that Foals would finally return to New Zealand this year. It's been six years since the band last played Auckland's Town Hall, and the four-piece find themselves back at the same venue tonight, for the first of two sold-out shows ("Let’s make it a spicy one tonight," demands Philippakis of their fans).
