As anyone who has ever seen the British fivesome can attest, IDLES are a live band to be reckoned with. These are the guys your parents warned you about, kids. Touring in support of (appropriately enough) A Beautiful Thing: IDLES Live At Le Bataclan (Partisan), IDLES just played a string of U.S. dates. MAGNET photographer Chris Sikich was at the band’s Union Transfer show in Philly.
