The band Foster the People will start their new year off with a North American tour and they have asked Good Neighbours to be their special guests on the tour.
The Paradise State of Mind tour begins on the west coast in Seattle and works its way across the country.
The tour is in support of the band’s new album “Paradise State of Mind”.
Foster the People lead singer Mark Foster spoke on the new album saying, “I think the trickiest part about this record was trying to be authentic about what had been going on with me without writing something super dark and without glossing over it, either. Because, to me, it was really important that hope remain at the core of this whole thing. People need hope. I need hope. And when I think about what hope is – it’s having the courage to walk towards something that you think can be better, while fully acknowledging the darkness and reality around you. That was the goal, walking into this album, which was actually really tricky – to make something that rang true to what was on my mind, but that had this much groove and that would be fun to dance to. You know, to me, they’re like Trojan Horses, the message is hiding in the melody.”
Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning at 10am local time on October 18.
