Bunch Of Fives: Mr Bigfoot

Mr Bigfoot return with Overstimulated, Undermedicated, Constipated: Live In Burnley, a feral alt‑rock snapshot captured during their first Burnley show by Seamus Curley. Landing on 28th August 2026, the 13‑track live album crams in fuzzed‑out favourites, unreleased oddities about crinkly dogs and questionable habits, and all the chaotic stage patter that makes a Bigfoot gig feel like a barely contained incident. The recording bottles their improvisational, crowd‑baiting energy — loose, loud and gloriously unhinged — offering a front‑row hit of the band’s live personality without leaving the sofa.

Here, the band tell us about their favourite live albums…

Kie Davies (Guitarist/Lead Vocals) – AC/DC – Live at Donnington (Rock Band)
One of the best live albums for me isn’t so much an album as it is a game. AC/DC Rock Band for the PS3. The audio is taken from their Live at Donnington show. When I first started playing guitar, I would watch that thing religiously. When I played my first ever gig I flailed around like Angus and had a lovely time. The rest of the band weren’t so enthusiastic and told me to stop with the stage theatrics. Luckily, when AC/DC Rockband rolled around I had a chance to reignite those theatrics from the comfort of my bedroom in my pants.

Joshua Evans (Drummer) – Architects – For Those That Wish To Exist At Abbey Road
One of the few live albums I have listened to multiple times is “For Those That Wish To Exist at Abbey Road” by Architects. It’s a live recording of their album done at Abbey Road Studios, with Parallax Orchestra. All of the songs had an orchestral arrangement written to accompany them for this live performance, leading to a interesting mix of metalcore and classical music sounds. That nice extra touch makes this live album even more fun to listen to than if it was just the band on their own. Also architects are class.

Ryan Kuir (Bassist) – Psychedelic porn crumpets – Levitation Session
I was instantly hooked on their music after listening to Nek from their High Visceral, Pt. 2 album. I don’t often listen to live albums, but levitation sessions scratched an itch of wanting to see them live after I missed their most recent U.K tour. I think playing in a band I’ve found some bands sound so different live to there albums, and hearing that raw version of there music has excited me for listening to them when they next visit the U.K.

James Harrison (Guitarist/Backing Vocals) – Iron Maiden – Rock In Rio
Had a few favourites to pick from but id have to go with Iron Maiden – Rock In Rio. Iron Maiden was the first band i got into thanks to my parents and I was hooked right around the time brave new world came out. The record is great because its full of energy and obviously has some great songs from brave new world. We also had the DVD, which we got from Morrisons in Teesside Park, and i used to love watching it. It spurred me to want to play guitar. Obviously, I’m no shredder, so I aligned myself with punk guitarists a few years later though! Easier innit….

Paige Hughes (Manager) – The Beatles – Live at The BBC
I’ve always loved The Beatles, and they’re one of those bands I never get tired of listening to. I also really enjoyed Peter Jackson’s The Beatles: Get Back, and I still find myself rewatching it because it’s fascinating to see how they worked together and created their music. I don’t normally listen to live albums, but Live at the BBC is a big exception for me. I especially love the live version of Love Me Do. Their studio recordings sound amazing, but there’s something really special about hearing them perform live. You get all the little imperfections, the energy, and the personality that make it feel so genuine. I think it’s incredible that even without all the polish of a studio recording, they still sound so good, and it really shows what brilliant musicians they were.
