What makes Foster The People such a solid band is their unabashed approach to pop-rock. If they want to use a piano, they use a damn piano and slam out the chords. If they want to bring in a horn section and have them blare out notes over synths and their infectious falsettos, they do and it works. In everything you do, confidence is key (so cliche, but ride it out with me). Foster The People's confidence in their sound is what makes their sound believable. They make it #werk. On top of that, they're brilliant [...]
Foster The People? Weren't they popular like, last year? By now, your parents probably like the Los Angeles trio as much as you ever did, and their glimmer might have been a little forgotten. But with your indulgence, I'd like to revisit the band just long enough to show off the new video for the [...]
Foster The People - Brixton Academy 29.04.12 LA three-piece Foster the People are merely one album into a career that only arrived on British shores in May of last year, which makes it all the more amazing that Brixton Academy is stuffed to the gills in anticipation of the electro-pop beats from the quirky trio. After releasing catchy-as-hell debut single Pumped up Kicks they quickly became a UK favourite and with the release of its parent album, Torches , proved they could repeat the trick at will. Wasting no time they [...]
Foster The People logró llegar a la cima en muy poco tiempo. Si logran mantenerse ahí o no es cuestión de tiempo y eso lo veremos recién con la salida del segundo disco que nadie sabe cuándo saldrá porque todavía están promocionando el primero, Torches , que los llevó después de una presentación en los MTV Music Awards a ser famosos en todo el mundo gracias a una canción, sobre otras bastante buenas que tienen claro, llamada "Pumped Up Kicks". En esta oportunidad la agrupación de Los Angeles lanzó el video [...]
In Foster the People ’s new clip for “Houdini”, the band tragically gets trampled by their stage and die within the first 10 seconds. Their shady record label won’t stand by this though, and make the band into marionettes, who develop some pretty stellar boy-band eqsue choreographed dance moves. How else are they going to finish their video shoot, and make it over to the El Rey for a sold out gig? I’m glad that with all the success the band has achieved over the last year, they have never lost their dark humor and insanely creative [...]
La banda californiana, qué nos visitó el mes pasado, estrenó el videoclip de Houdini , tema perteneciente a Torches , su último disco. Miralo en esta nota. En el clip, Mark Foster , Mark Pontius y Cubbie Fink mueren durante una filmación, pero sus productores sacan provecho para que estos tres muchachos sigan facturando y hacen robots de sus cuerpos ¿Una simple e inocente sátira del universo pop?
Foster The People não pára! Seu álbum de estréia foi o disco mais vendido no último ano e continua extraindo excelentes singles, mas ao que tudo indica, este será o último da era Torches . O novo trabalho da banda acompanha a faixa "Houdini" , uma das melhores de todo o disco. A banda é conhecida mundialmente através do seu apelo indie pop e dos vídeos (bem produzidos) animados que deram características marcantes para esses californianos: " Helena Beat " , " Call It What You Want [...]
Remember N*Sync's 'No Strings Attached' dancing puppets video? Well, in Foster the People's new video for "Houdini" the indie rockers get similar a similar boy band puppet treatment. As more people (studios, fans, managers) come into play controlling the band's careers, the group becomes increasingly robotic, puppet-like performers with white uniform outfits. You can check out the video for "Houdini" below. Fortunately, Foster the People isn't a boy band in real life and their live show has plenty of fun (unforced) energy. So while it is a cool video to watch, we're glad this is not how they [...]
Foster The People está de estreno con un nuevo video para el tema “Houdini” . En esta ocasión volvieron a trabajar con Daniels (también responsables del video para “Don´t Stop” ) logrando un video muy particular, cuya interpretación más obvia es que se trata de una sátira a la industria musical prefabricada y a la música plástica donde los interpretes están muertos por dentro y solo son un producto manipulado por ejecutivos. Coreografías, marionetas humanas, androides y Foster The People siendo víctimas de un accidente mortal, todo esto en “Houdini”. [...]
Foster The People are killed and used as puppets in their newest clip and single for 'Houdini' from the critically acclaimed ' Torches ' which is available now. Watch the creative visual above.
After suffering a tragic accident whilst filming a music video, Foster the People require a few changes under the hood to get back in action. See what happens to these musicians-cum-cyborgs in the band's new video for "Houdini." Foster the People's Torches is out now on Columbia . STREAM: Foster The People - "Houdini"
O Foster The People continua a divulgação de Torches . A banda lançou na última sexta-feira o teaser do videoclipe de Houdini , sexto single de sua elogiada estreia. O vídeo foi dirigido pelo duo The Daniels , também responsável por Don't Stop (Color On The Walls) , e tem estreia programada para dia 25 de abril, quarta-feira. No teaser, os americanos ensaiam uma performance ao vivo de Houdini quando algo surpreendente acontece. Veja a seguir a assustadora prévia:
NO.8 FOSTER THE PEOPLE - TORCHES BUY | LOOK | METACRITIC For better or worse there weren't many cross-over indie anthems in 2011. You know, the Mr. Brightside , Sex On Fire , radio-playlist-hogging and festival-singalong super song. Foster The People's Pumped Up Kicks was one of them. That's not to say Torches , the album that housed it, was a one song show. The biggest strength of this debut album is that it's biggest hit isn't even one of the [...]
Foster The People played SNL this past weekend and performed their smash “Pumped Up Kicks” and “Houdini”. It’s so good to see this band become so big over this last year. Big props for the band for getting the awesome Kenny G to lay down a solo.
Here is Foster the People live on Saturday Night Live over the weekend performing "Pumped Up Kicks" (above) and "Houdini" (below). "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People "Houdini" by Foster the People
Saxofones já não são muito bem-vistos pela comunidade indie, mas o instrumento, tradicional do soft-rock dos anos 80, já recuperava fãs com o recente álbum do Iron & Wine e com a perda trágica de Clarence Clemons ... mas o Foster the People realmente foi longe demais com o revival do instrumento. O grupo, que fez barulho no verão norte-americano com seu álbum de estreia Torches , fez sua estreia no programa Saturday Night Live e levou a proposta humorística do programa a sério ao convidar, para uma versão da ótima Houdini , [...]
Se o synth-pop energético do Foster The People não parece perfeito para apresentações acústicas, a banda de Mark Foster acaba de provar exatamente o contrário em sua sessão para os Tiny Desk Concerts, pocket-shows acústicos realizados pela NPR em seus próprios escritórios. Apresentando precisamente as três faixas de seu EP de estréia, Helena Beat , Houdini e Pumped Up Kicks , os donos de um dos "hits do verão norte-americano" (título concedido à Pumped Up Kicks por vários sites) conseguiram até mesmo superar as versões de estúdio [...]
With their perfect synthetic indie-pop, the LA three piece have arrived to hoover up those that were bamboozled by MGMT's 'difficult' second album. Over the course of Foster the People's debut album you're treated to sun-kissed slabs of pop perfection. Synths shimmer and bubble, gutiars fizz and crackle while drums bounce and clatter. Best known for their summer hit Pumped Up Kids , Mark Foster, Mark Pontius and Cubbie Fink, three friends from LA, have come good on the Hype Machine buzz that surrounded their debut EP with their first full [...]

Forgot to share this one with you last night. Skizzy Mars takes Foster The People's engaging "Houdini", and adds in a couple fireflame verses on top. Not really sure why this one works out so well; because by all logic it shouldn't; but I'm really into this. Apparently the kid is only 17 too. I posted Skizzy Mars' "Profound" a few weeks back; which completely took over my iTunes at the time. If you're not up on Skizzy Mars, get involved.
