Download Fool’s Gold Live Studio Session From Seattle’s KEXP

Posted on January 3, 2010 by Shelley Peckham

You may remember these guys from the Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros show late last year. This wickedly fun Afropop indie band recently recorded a live studio session for Seattle’s KEXP for your listening pleasure. Take a listen here, and check out their sun-soaked video for “Surprise Hotel” below.

(FYI: If you dig Fool’s Gold, you may be interested to know that the band includes several members of the equally impressive Foreign Born, who we’ll be bringing to Madison to play The Frequency on March 4th. You can grab tickets to that show here.)
