FOSTER THE PEOPLE'S GLORY





"Foster the people people. Was an American indie pop band formed in Los Angeles, California in 2009, band, as described infused dance pop rock melodies, stretching various types. this group consists of Mark Foster as vocals, keyboards, piano, synthesizers, guitar, programming,and  percussion, Cubbie Fink as bassist and backing vocals.  and the last Mark Pontius as drummer. foster the people founded the band in 2009 after spending several years in Los Angeles as a struggling musician and working as a jingle writer. After Foster's song "Pumped Up Kicks" became a viral success in 2010, received the first set of international standard star package time and got a fan base through a program and a small club in a music contest Kuccila and South by Southwest. After the release of his portable album for the first time in May 2011, "pump up kicks" is a crossover hit on commercial radio in mid-2011, the song reached number one on the alternative maps panel, number three on the race track rocks, and number three on the Hot, Billboard 100, while by Top Adults 40 and Top 40 mainstream. Foster was emailed by many people about "Pumped Up Kicks", and needing professional guidance, he contacted artist manager Brent Kredel at Monotone, Inc. in March, saying, "Everyone is calling me and emailing me what do I do? Who are the good guys, who are the bad guys?" Kredel recalled that "He went from the guy who couldn't get a hold of anyone to being the guy who had hundreds of emails in his inbox." Kredel and Brett Williams were subsequently hired to co-manage Foster the People, and they arranged meetings for the band with several record labels, including Warner Bros, Universal Republic, Columbia, and Atlantic . The band was signed to the Columbia imprint Startime International in a multi-album deal in May 2010l. The deal did not involve ancillary rights. Foster controls publishing of the songs in North America. The group received two Grammy Award nominations for the torch and "Pumped Up Kicks."Foster the People was born out of a nascent relationship with drummer Mark Pontius, a film school student who left his group Malbec in 2009 to found a band with Foster. Mark Pontius was impressed by the number and diversity of songs that Foster had written to that point,He said "Some were on the guitar, and some were on the computer. But it was this really awesome singer-songwriter thing with a tricked-out beat, and I felt we could go wherever we wanted with this." The group added Foster's long-time friend Cubbie Fink, who lost his job at a television production company during the recession, as a bassist. Mark Foster originally named the band Foster & the People, but people misheard it as "Foster the People". Eventually, he took to the nurturing image it evoked of "taking care" of people, so the name stuck.
Not long after the group formed, Foster wrote and recorded a song at Mophonics called Pumped Up Kicks, which eventually proved to be the band's breakthrough. After Foster posted the song on his website as a free download in early 2010, it drew considerable attention Nylon magazine used the track in an online advertising campaign, and through various blogs, it went viral. The group, yet to be signed, garnered buzz with performances at the South by Southwest music festival in March 2010.
