Foster The People Interview

June 9, 2011 by Lachy 2 Comments

Apart from a certain rapper, LA band Foster The People are the most hyped act of 2011. It’s impossible to read anything music-related online without catching mention of their breakout hit Pumped Up Kicks or debut LP ‘Torches’. It’s for a very good reason though- these guys make refreshing and supremely cool music that has already seen them play sold out tours across the States and indeed in Australia.

Gig Review: Eddie Vedder @ The Palais, 25th March

March 27, 2011 by Lachy 2 Comments

Eddie Vedder walks calmly onto the Palais Theatre Stage. He is wearing relaxed and slightly bohemian clothes, almost like a mere mortal. Fitting this, the stage is setup like a really rich busker’s haunt, with about twenty different guitars surrounding one solitary chair and microphone at front and center.

The crowd goes wild. It’s a curious crowd as well, mostly consisting of diehard Pearl Jam fans wearing tour shirts from ten years ago and looking out of place without a mosh pit, with a smattering of hipsters lured out by the promise of material from Vedder’s ‘Into The Wild’ soundtrack.

Foster The People Tour

December 17, 2010 by Lachy 1 Comment

Oh hell yes. I definitely didn’t see this one coming, given that LA band Foster The People have only technically released one song, but the guys will be heading to Australia early next year for a headline tour. As if we needed any more bands touring at the moment, but having declared their summer anthem […]
