After just two singles (the glorious 'Julian' and heavenly 'Maybe You'), Say Lou Lou have found favour with the likes of Daft Punk (who attended their London showcase - taking the girls out to dinner afterwards), and Q Award winners Foals, with whom they are currently touring with in Europe.
Foals recently kicked off their European tour, with Everything Everything and Say Lou Lou (twin sisters Elektra and Miranda Kilbey) along for the ride. Following their first few shows, the brilliant duo sent us exclusive, behind the scenes shots from their time on the road with Foals, performing live in Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen. Their time with the 'Inhaler' rockers covered huge shows, backstage drinking sessions, cigarettes stubbed out in the buffet, stunning dressing rooms, Yannis from Foals and much, much more.
Check out 24, exclusive behind the scenes shots from Say Lou Lou's time on the road across Scandinavia with Foals, below.
"Our synth player Ragnhild bought this card when we last toured in Germany, we keep in the front window of the tour bus. We call it "The Mojo" - for good luck (which it turns out we had none of during this tour)"
"Arriving in Oslo for first gig of the tour"
"Elektra finds peace during soundcheck..."
"...Elektra at peace again backstage before the gig"
"Watching Foals (first time ever) play from the side of the stage..."
"...We were as impressed as the audience"
"Thought we'd have a go at the buffet... Sums up touring with Foals pretty much"
"The first celebratory Norwegian beer is opened - things escalated pretty fast after this point"
"Our guitarist Fredrik plays us all classical pieces on the piano-turned-buffet table"
"Yannis Philippakis (the man the myth the legend) preaching to a Lou in a dungeon in downtown Oslo"
"Day 2. On our way back to Stockholm, our tour bus breaks down in the middle of nowhere. After three hours on the roadside, the towing truck arrives"
"Just in time, we arrive at the venue in Stockholm and Say Lou Lou does quickest soundcheck to date"
"It is not all bad though, we are allocated the most beautiful dressing room ever... (nicer than Foals')"
"Royal"

"10 minutes to gig, warming up"
"Vocal warm ups means looking like a fool"
"Day 3, after having another tour van break down on the highway, we are finally driving over the bridge to Denmark"
"At the venue in Aarhus, our drummer Ottilia soundchecking"
"Elektra and Fredrik crack the first beer open after a good show... things escalated pretty fast after this point part 2"
"After doing disgusting Danish spirits with Foals' drum tech and dancing to Yannis djing Arthur Russell , we find ourselves wandering around looking for food - this is what Aarhus had to offer"
"Day 4, soundchecking at one of our favorite venues, Vega, in Copenhagen"
"Foals' set up on stage is pretty amazing"
