Foster The People continued their hot streak (coming off some buzzy sets at SXSW) by packing The Knitting Factory on Saturday night. These guys perform with a polished focus that is mostly absent from bands at the breaking point of buzz and blowing up, and their songs are the top-est notch. We're guessing FTP may not be just a Brooklyn-household name for much longer.

In case you're not familiar with the LA trio, check out this unofficial video for "Houdini (Live in Solana Beach)" (for a taste of their live-action flavor):



Sounds meaty! The song is on their self-titled EP but will also appear on their forthcoming debut Torches, which hits in May 26th via Columbia/Star Time Intl. Don't miss it.
