Foster the People es una banda estadounidense de teen-indie y pop formada en Los Ángeles, California, en el 2009. La banda esta compuesta por: Mark Foster (voz, teclados, piano, sintetizadores, guitarra, programación, percusión), Mark Pontius (batería y percusión adicional), y Cubbie Fink (bajo y coros).
Mark Foster originalmente llamó a su banda «Foster & The People», pero la gente escuchó mal como «Foster the People». Finalmente el nombre se quedo por que sonaba como «Cuida de la gente» o «hacer algo por la gente»
Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
