Five things I wrote in my notebook at Foster the People

October 21, 2011, Las Vegas Weekly, Noise

Full review of the band’s Thursday night Cosmo concert to come in this week’s print edition of Las Vegas Weekly, but for now …

1. October 2011 sold-out Cosmopolitan Boulevard Pool deck show > March 2011 moderately attended Book & Stage gigs.

2. With all the hipsters here, who’s Occupying Urban Outfitters?

3. Proud to report concert attendees sang along to more than just “Pumped Up Kicks.” Freshman album = success.

4. Bandmates volunteering free time at Vegas homeless shelter and community gardens, or fostering the people, if you will. I thought meaningful band monikers died with Hoobastank.

5. Foster’s set time totaled one hour, same as the wait time after the opening act. Here’s hoping for continued quality content on their next record—and thus, lengthier future performances.
