| Foster The People Got shackles on my wings are tied Beggin' makin' compromise Fasten up that time to hide Sometimes I want to disappear What time are you up tomorrow? "Bright & Early" she says........... 9 o'clock watching 90210 in my PJ shirt and spending a whole 50 minutes to get ready just to see how beauty and the geek got together isn't exactly what I had in mind. But it will flipping do for a Friday! So I'm here, in my usual spot (until Tuesday), 3rd floor also known as the extra SILENT floor. NOTE: They do not appreciate it when you write A3 notes to your friends, run out to the lift area (in flip flops) or if you eat a KitKat - the foil wrapper really does make it louder guys. But for me it is the perfect spot to get some peace and quiet and read about business theories and the likes. OH what I would do to go back and do a degree in Journalism. Getting here fairly early today has meant I can listen to "Foster The People" and daydream about the days after my exam. Kindly directed to this band by my friend Brandon I have managed to become an addict. An addict to the beautiful sound of this California band. Keyboards, guitars and wicked vocals means I would happily let the repeat button get stuck on this band for days. |
Watching a quick interview with them online they said most of the band used to work as waitors/in a coffee shop........ooooo guess who is a waitress too, yours truly. I loved to hear that they were working somewhere just to fund their dream, knowing they weren't born out of Brit School or manufacturers by some big boss man at an LA studio with a big cigar surrounded with money is quite refreshing. They write their own music, the lead singer was first a music composer and they altogether seem like a pretty grounded band. They recently played at Coachella Festival (Take me there!!) and are playing in Amsterdam tonight, Belguim the next night and LA the following. Wow what a busy life you guys are having!
Now any of my regular readers will know I'm a sucker for anything chilled with a bit of an electronic edge. Cut Copy spring to mind, they for me are a similar sound in some respects but Foster the People can definitely have to hold their own sound. This band are something new and contemporary, and are definitely one to watch........ Their album Torches isn't out just yet but you can pre-order it - DONE.
Favourite songs, well I'm going to have to say Pumped up Kicks, Houdini and Helena Beat. They are the only ones I can get the most access to at the minute. There are already some wicked remixes of Houdini so get searching in SoundCloud guys and girls. Not heard of them yet? Overly in love with their music already? Then listen below to just a few of their songs and keep and eye out for the release of their album "Torches"
If you would like me to review or post about you band then get in touch with me on Facebook - "Grace Easter", Leeds. :)
