So last week I headed down The CAMP in Old Street for Foster The People's 1st gig in London. This band have been creating a buzz for a while stateside and the sold out crowd in London last Wednesday (13th) had an air of excitement. The LA boys bounded on stage with such energy and enthusiasm it was very difficult not to be entertained by Foster The People who have been compared to MGMT. A set that was punchy, tight and full energy kept the crowd at CAMP dancing until midnight. These boys attract an up for it, happy following, even for their 1st gig in the UK.
Set highlights for me were Helena Beat:
