Video: Foster The People – “Helena Beat”
Los Angeles based indie pop band Foster The People have had a pretty busy summer so far, first releasing the hit single “Pumped Up Kicks”. They have now released a music video for their newest single, “Helena Beat”, the quick-paced, psychedelic opener to Torches. The Ace Norton-directed video, which depicts an alternate reality where children with guns capture the band and wreak havoc with fire and electrical shocks. Kids, please don’t try this at home.
Check out the video after the break.
Adele Cancels US Dates to Rest Voice
Just after Lady Gaga‘s Born This Way took the top place on the charts over her 21, Adele was diagnosed with laryngitis and her Otolaryngology specialist “determined it was imperative that she take the next few weeks to recover with absolute voice rest.” Following her doctor’s orders, Adele has now canceled the rest of her US tour dates, which will hopefully be rescheduled in the future.
