Special performance celebrates the 10th anniversary of band’s debut
Foster The People has announced that their upcoming Torches X Digital Worldwide Experience will be presented via the social live media platform Moment House on Friday, November 19th. Airing live from The Wiltern in the band’s hometown of Los Angeles, the concert event will mark the finale of a sold out, three-night run of shows in celebration of the 10th anniversary of their acclaimed debut album Torches. The event will see the group performing the album in its entirety for the first time ever, along with additional fan favorites spanning their entire catalogue.
The event will air on the heels of the release of Torches X (Deluxe Edition), a newly-expanded digital configuration of Foster the People’s debut album arriving on Friday, November 12th via Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings. A definitive collection commemorating the album’s 10th anniversary (it was first released May 2011 on Startime/Columbia), Torches X (Deluxe Edition) includes the original album in its entirety plus ten bonus tracks including “Broken Jaw” (originally an iTunes exclusive), “Ruby” (originally a stand-alone single) and the first “official” release of “Downtown” (a Mark Foster composition recorded prior to FTP’s record deal).
For the first time in one collection, Torches X (Deluxe Edition) brings together the bonus tracks which have enhanced previous editions of the album; these songs include “Love,” “Chin Music for the Unsuspecting Hero,” “Pumped Up Kicks” (The Knocks Speeding Bullet Remix), “Houdini” (RAC Remix), “Helena Beat” (Lenno Extended Remix) and “Call It What You Want” (Treasure Fingers Pre-Party Remix Radio Edit). As an added 10th anniversary treat for fans of the band, Torches X (Deluxe Edition) features a new version of “Pumped Up Kicks” by Gus Dapperton, which will premiere on Wednesday, November 10th.
Following its initial airing, the livestream will be rebroadcast in various territories around the world on Sunday, November 21st, giving audiences everywhere the opportunity to be a part of this special experience.
