Gig Review: Foster The People @ The Northcote Social Club, 16th February

Last night LA band Foster The People played a staggeringly good show to a sold out crowd at the Northcote Social Club as a part of their first ever international tour.

However it was the first following the release of their debut album ‘Bliss Release’, and it seems to me like the band develop a more and more professional live show each time I see them. Sure enough, this […]
