Phoenix stopped by the Kevin and Bean show on KROQ LA (106.7) this morning and talked about their dislike of women from Paris (their home), trying to get their music played on French radio and touring the US. They also performed "Lisztomania" and "1901." You can listen to the ...
And people say that France is only good at surrendering....i say nonsense...They make some pretty good music too...first Air...now Phoenix...Any other French bands that I may like? Help me out Euro-Moggers
Classixx the 2 gentlemen responsible for that amazing remix of Phoenix’s “Lisztomania” were kind enough to answer a few questions about themselves and their music. They are definitely going to be a big part of my Summer ‘09 soundtrack. Can’t wait for more slick feel good productions from this duo.Classixx - I’ll Get You (Ft. [...]
Sadly enough, this brought a smile to my face. I only wish there was more Footloose and less Mannequin. But then I found this and all was good. Now if I could find something similiar to St Elmos Fire....
Phoenix has had a huge 2009. The band has struck gold with the success of their latest release Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, an album that has landed them on American radio, commercials, and basically everywhere you can possibly imagine. This weekend they took over New York City with a pair of sold out shows at Central Park's Summerstage. Though the summer never really came this year, Phoenix did t...
Stereogum hooked us up with the following links: Devandra Banhart’s new album, What Will We Be can be heard on their website HERE and the new Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (Remix Collection) can be heard HERE.
Here is a live unreleased track from Phoenix that they played at the Southside festival in 2005, Jetplane. It was slated to be on It’s Never Been Like That but didn’t make the cut. It is definitely a different vibe for them and a b-side sounding track. Thomas Hedlund (drums) channels his Steward Copeland at [...]
Missed your chance to see Phoenix? Well the French based band are coming back around for a short fall tour. The tour sees the band teaming up with other indie acts such as Chairlift, Metric, and Yacht. The band is notorious for putting on incredibly tight live performances, so be sure to get your [...]
Early this morning in my timezone I found this other Phoenix video of "1901" headlining on You Tube. It didn't receive popular appreciation as seen on the comments.Oh sweet! This is how the official looks like.In my opinion, these people just didn't quite get that that was supposed to give a Lo-Fi impression. Lo-Fi immensely appeals to some people's taste, you see. And on account of the video's...
The first taster from new album 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix' has been made available as a free download; '1901' takes everything that was originally so great about Phoenix and steps it up about three notches production wise.
A fantastic journey into Phoenix’s musical psyche – twenty tunes that changed their lives and influenced the way they sound. I love the way they romanticize and philiosophize in that oh-so French way about Curtis Mayfield and Kenny Rogers. You can really hear the little production techniques and samples that they strive for in their [...]
I've had the CD Rack for quite a few years but I finaly got around to installing it in the new house. It's just a hop skip and a jump from my CD racks on the other side of the computer. It holds about 50 CDs. I chose one title from the artists I whom I own many albums (many, usually means "all" or 3 or more). It's practically touching the ground so to combat the nuisance of even attempting ...
"Phoenix "1901" most blogged track in the world today! Get in!" - @simoncoalitionI'm so thrilled to find out that Phoenix has a new album! Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix will be released on May 25, 2009. Pretty catchy huh? The sweetest part here is if you go to their website, you can download a free single from that album, called 1901.
