They’re hyped by the NME, they’re Mark Ronson’s favourite band and they’ve only released an extremely catchy 12” release – ‘Pumped Up Kicks’. They don’t have a Myspace and they’re selling out some pretty decent clubs in their hometown of Los Angeles. Yes the hype machine delivers again with Foster The People. This a sunny, more organic, lo-fi form of Cut Copy or Chromeo, with surf guitars and a massive sprinkling of LA Sunshine. With an EP coming next month, check ‘em out at these three Australian dates as well as their Youtube clip for ‘Pumped Up Kicks’.
