Well, they may not have won on the night, but Foals certainly had a night to remember - as they hitchhiked to the BRIT Awards with a pizza delivery man.
The band, who have just completed a UK tour that included a triumphant night at London's Wembley Arena, were deservedly nominated for Best British Group - but lost out to Coldplay (SHOCKER!).
Drummer Jack Bevan has since taken to Twitter to reveal details of the band's adventurous trek to the ceremony at The O2 in London:
On the way to the Brits the other day our cab took us the wrong way and we were stranded North of the river in gridlock traffic....

... So we ran across back to the entrance of the Blackwall tunnel and stuck out thumbs out in our suits and ball gowns...

.... Unexpectedly, a total hero picked us up and drove us all the way to the ceremony. Absolutely next level good karma for that...

... Anyway, I didn't remember his name as I ran off but he owns TGF pizza in Eltham, SE9.

So yeah, if his pizzas are as good as his getaway driving, i would definitely recommend.

Critically forget to mention that were incredibly late, hence the hitchhiking.

We've been struggling to think of Foals pizza puns, but the best we can come up with is 'Deep Pannis Phlippakis' - which is crap. If you can do better, we're open to suggestions.
Meanwhile, Foals will be back to headline Reading & Leeds Festival this summer, alongside the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Disclosure, The 1975, Courteeners and many more. Tickets for Reading & Leeds, which takes place from 26-28 August 2016, are on sale now. See the full line-up so far below, and get tickets and more information here.
