Foster the People pumps up RecordBar tonight

A buzz band’s popularity can wax and wane, it seems, by the time we’ve read this sentence. (Seriously, go check Pitchfork. I’ll bet that two bands just broke up.)

Luckily, for Mark Foster, Cubbie Fink and Mark Pontius, Foster the People is still turning on ears across the country. The Los Angeles trio started making music in 2009. By 2010, the band’s crisp, sunny single “Pumped Up Kicks” had music snobs and the rest of us tapping toes in-sync.

The band played this year’s SXSW Festival and is currently touring to support its debut album, Torches, which is due out May 24.
