Foster the People + Cold War Kids + Sir Sly

Foster the People headlines the second installment of WKQX's The Night We Stole Christmas concert series, armed with another batch of glossy pop-rock tunes from its recent Scared Hearts Club LP. Stripping away a bit of the cynicism that characterized the band's first post-"Pumped of Kicks" album, the songs on Mark Foster and company's latest effort step ever-so-slightly out of their chirpy, upbeat comfort zone, occasionally descending into a Tame Impala-inspired psychedelic haze. Indie rockers Cold War Kids and funky Los Angeles trio Sir Sly open the show.
