Foot Village is a tribal noise rock ensemble originating from Los Angeles, California, comprising members Brian Miller, Grace Lee, Gregory Witscher, and Josh Taylor.
Often referred to as a "drum-n-shout collective," their 2009 release Anti-Magic was described by Pitchfork as "loud, erratic, and frequently intricate." Between 2007 and 2013, the group embarked on numerous tours, mainly performing in Los Angeles while also appearing across the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.
The band is featured on the compilation DVD Live at the Smell as well as in a VPRO recording of a concert in Amsterdam. Their song "Wherever the Fuck Arnold Schwarzenegger's From" appeared on the 2009 Methodist Leisure Inc compilation Short Attention Span. In 2011, Foot Village was chosen by Portishead to perform at the ATP I'll Be Your Mirror festivals held in July at London's Alexandra Palace and in September at Asbury Park, New Jersey.
Although widespread commercial recognition was not achieved, Foot Village’s albums Anti-Magic and Make Memories garnered favorable critiques from Pitchfork. Furthermore, the experimental hip hop group Clipping produced a remix of their track "This Song Is a Drug Deal," featured on the 2018 EP Face.
