Biografía de Foster the People

Foster The People is the brainchild of Los Angeles, USA based musicians Mark Foster, Jacob “Cubbie” Fink and Mark Pontius, formed in 2009. Their brand of electronica infused guitar pop led to “Pumped Up Kicks” one of 2011’s biggest hit singles and a smash hit the world over.

It’s very telling that Foster The People frontman Mark Foster spent a year at a job writing commercial jingles. Not for the reason that one might think, however. Foster The People songs are far from soulless shards of pointlessly catchy noise wrenched into existence for no reason other than to get other people to give up their hard earned lucre.

Instead, they display a wonderfully deft ability to flit between genres that came from Foster being contractually obligated to write three different styles of song in an average day. Their songs feel equally natural whether their “Coming Of Age” or “Don’t Stop (Colors On The Ceiling)”’s sparkling guitar pop or the Prog leaning electro pop of “Helena Beat”.

Even the live versions of the deathless hit “Pumped Up Kicks” have an extended outro that flits between dubstep and disco in a way that sends every crowd that hears it completely bananas. In fact it was this song that arguably made them.

The trio wrote, recorded and released it onto the internet without a record contract at first, and almost immediately it got the attention of music blogs the world over. Once the major labels circled, the band picked the Columbia imprint Startime International and started honing their live act with festival appearances and a residency at The Echo, a legendary L.A nightclub.

“Pumped Up Kicks” grew into one of the biggest hits of 2011, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. Several other hit singles followed, as did a couple of Grammy nominations for the subsequent debut album “Torches”.

The band continues to go from strength to strength with their sophomore effort “Supermodel”, and with that record, they kept their crown as one of the most thrillingly unique new bands in the world.

Críticas en vivo

Foster the People say, “Call It What You Want,” and I call it magic.

Finding oneself buzzing and bouncing among the crowd at a Foster the People concert is like diving head first into the electric current the band is so skilled at conjuring through their vibrant and possessive tunes. Whether you’re standing two inches away from the stage at the bar downtown as Mark Foster croons into your ear, or shouting lyrics from two tiers high at the amphitheater in the city where the band just sold out every last seat, you are guaranteed to have the most personal and memorable experience. I’m not kidding... you’re going to be dreaming about this concert for weeks. You’ll be laying there, all snug in the cool tee you undoubtedly picked up from the merch table, the buds in your ear being as close as you can feel to their music since that unforgettable night. Air guitar can’t save you now.

Each one of these talented dudes pours every ounce of their being into the music. Their passion demands your attention and their sweet symphonies command your finest foot to tap. If you didn’t think playing a cowbell could be a spiritual experience, think again. Charming as they may be, your solo performances in your car as you sing along to the radio could use a hiatus. So do yourself a favor and grab tickets next time Foster the People hits your city. You’ll be a better person because of it.

Amazingly talented group of young girls. They put on a highly energetic show for a rocking good time on a Monday night :). We saw them at the Currie Centre in Fredericton a few months ago with July Talk and Matt Mays so it was awesome to see their progression since winning their Grammy! I would highly recommend seeing their show as you will not be disappointed.
