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 [...]
Round 2! I'm super stoked on this one. Singularity 's coming out. Lexy Panterra 's coming out. Chuuwee and Abstract Ninja are coming out. It's going to be insane. Here's my second installment in the mix series. I made this in my friend's room while we danced and continued to get drunk. Tell me if you feel it.

Here is the first installment. Enjoy! Provacouture Vol. 1 Mix by HOUDINI // 11.19.11 by HOFisbetter <3
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 [...]
For my first post I'd like to introduce you all to a talented young man by the name of Skizzy Mars . Skiz "Myles Mills" Mars has only been on the scene for a month or two, but has already dropped a handful of amazing tracks. You can hear them all over here at his SoundCloud page. Above is my favorite, a song that samples Xaphoon Jones' (Chiddy Bang) remix of "Colours" by GroupLove . Did you follow that? Who cares, just listen.
Skizzy Mars returns with his latest cut, "Houdini" which samples Foster The People.

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.

In "Houdini," a flip of Foster The People 's track of the same name, 17-year-old Skizzy Mars says, "A lot of hype, and two songs," and that's mostly true, except this is the third song we've heard from the young NY rapper. He also says that he can do no wrong, and I have to agree with that statement as well. The dude is quickly becoming one of the up and comers to watch out for, and it's scary that at 17 he's already sounding this clean and polished. [...]
We brought you news of the Foster The People track "Helena Beat" all the way back in January , but now it's been given the visual treatment to go with it. continue reading >>
In the beginning of this year Sidewalk released the excellent EP "Wonderland Sessions" . Now you can also listen to three tracks from the new EP "Houdini Sessions". Three songs of different character, where Eboi joins them in one song and Swingfly in another. Below you can listen to the Zappa-vibing "Jack" and if you'd like to listen to the other tracks you can visit Sidewalk on Soundcloud or on Spotify . You can also find Sidewalk on Facebook and on their site . [...]

We caught up with the five members of Tigercats through the medium of email to discuss playing public toilets in Berlin, Rebecca Black as well as the best way to part your hair.

Hello my friends. Sorry for the lack of posts. I've been one of those douches at coffee shops for the last week while waiting for my Internet and other utilities to be set up. ANYWAY. If you don't know by now, Niklas ( Naxon ) and I are playing shows here in the USA. Fucking stoked. Above is our debut show June 18th with LBCK and Tenderlions . The show is obviously promoted by yours truly at Dödselectro , Jesse Nikette (who will also be providing visuals), and our boys at [...]
Fazia tempo que um álbum novo não me agradava tanto quanto este. Estou falando sobre o Torches, debut da banda californiana Foster the People. Seu som é caracterizado por uma melodia dançante, apelo forte de sintetizadores (como a maioria das bandas indies atuais) e um vocal marcante. Mark Foster, Mark Pontius e Cubbie Fink começaram em 2009, apareceram na cena com o hit 'Pumped Up Kicks', primeiro single do Torches. O segundo é referente ao clip aqui embaixo, 'Houdini'. Segundo meu querido conterrâneo/amigo Gabriel Machuca, residente/produtor/entusiasta do Beco (São Paulo), essa é a banda mais pedida [...]
