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»
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
