Let this be your first reminder that on December 18th, Foreign Born will be playing with Best Coast at Spaceland in Silverlake.  Guess what.  This show is going to be great and the poster is rad (made by the man behind mad decent artwork).  In the interest of keeping your interest, I will post one piece of the poster puzzle every so often as both a reminder of the show and as a fun game to play at home with your computer.  Also, each puzzle post comes with a gift in the form of song.

Let’s put a smile on that face.  Ripped hard and fast off Matt Lessner’s blog Catcakes.org, I present film stills from the upcoming Foreign Born video “Early Warnings.” This promises to be a boner-inducing vid, harnessing male bravado and buffalo meat.  Also, I got a sneak peak at the new FG video and it’s fantawesome.

Ya know music coverage is so much the same these days. Every blog interviewer tries to flip the script by making things a little wacky for the ever-tired, ever-over-it interviewees. Tripwire’s coverage of FB at a lower East Side Barber shop should be more of the same; however, the blog team couldn’t have planned for the fat Russians wielding straight razors, the unending anecdote from the Vibe Ambassador, the dubious shape-up on CEO, and a mean-muggin’ guitarist visibly disgusted with the entire affair. The scene is one of chaos and awkwardness not the rainbows and butterflies typical of these sorts of things. Upon second look, I love it.

Here is Foreign Born doing an in-bar performance for the Fader. Two things to note here. For one, that fresh young face fisting the bar in the background is FB’s hot new addition. Second, a profound style upgrade for the Rock Lobster on tambourine. A toast to you guys.

Check out FB’s stellar performance on LA radio station KCRW. It appears the camera man used an 80’s filter to capture the action. I keep waiting to see Animal from the Muppets wailing on percussion. These men are shaking and grooving their way across this great Nation so keep an ear to ground for upcoming shows in your town.

Y’all check out the new Foreign Born Video for “Winter Games.” It’s a ghetto brainchild with limbs akimbo. The boys will be playing a free show tonight at the Hammer in Westwood with Warpaint. FB goes on at 9.

“The band [has a] feel for anthemic ’80s rock shaded by complex arrangements and cathartic moments that make the likes of Modest Mouse and Arcade Fire so appealing.” —Los Angeles Times
