For Los Angeles based trio, Foster The People, this year included three headlining sold-out U.S. tours, a gold album for their debut release Torches, two Grammy nominations for "Best Alternative Album" and "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance," and a 3x platinum single in "Pumped Up Kicks."
Foster The People "in one year have gone from local favorite to a phenomenon," explains the LA Weekly, who were among the first to catch the band playing their residency to 200 fans at the Echo in January 2011. Since its release in May of 2011, Torches has sold over 1 million copies worldwide. This summer they will wrap up 18 months of touring by playing iconic amphitheaters around the country.
