Any suggestions on what album should I start with..? Thanks!

IMO, Phoenix is one of those bands where it's actually not a bad idea to start recent and work your way backwards. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is not only fantastic, but very accessible. From there, I'd steadily head one album back.

 

Also, I missed the chance to get tix for Santa Barbara Bowl, which is basically my backyard (okay, it's 20 minutes from my backyard, but still). :cry: Bah, I've already seen them once this tour, so I'll live.

Why does the band that put out the best album of 2009 have SO FEW REPLIES!?!?

 

I guess I need to spend more time in The World of Music area, because it's not getting the love it deserves.

 

Phoenix are an amazing band. I'm so happy I found their music!

The same kids who did the viva la vida cover. Its pretty awesome.

Amazing amazing band live, for once I'm proud to be french!

I almost died when the singer came at the barrier, before I was a bit less than 10meters away from it, and then I was there lol

 

 

My pics aren't that good cause of the weird lightning, plus I was jumping and dancing all the time :tongue:

I just saw them on June 11th in Cary, NC!

Thank you!

Well I didn't know anything about them before seeing them, not even Thomas' face :shame:

I think the crowd was less crazy than at their usual shows, but still most of the people were dancing

Nice vids!

Actually the crowd was moving quite a bit. I was on the lawn, so I wasn't in the midst of the action. But, the people in front of me on the lawn were going craazzyyy!! But, nevertheless, a great show!

These guys are great!! They do sound like Phoenix, also a bit like Cut Copy... a good combination!!

Hollywood Bowl-Sept.18, 2010- Phoenix!!!

 

Last night's show was FANTASTIC, from the very first song (Lisztomania) all the way to the last(1901)!!!! I had a really good time. It seemed like they were on only for a very short time, but that time was worthwhile. I loved how they came out into the crowd and played some songs there. Thomas Mars(singer) sang a song in French and it was sooo beautiful! :heart: I think he sings even more beautiful in French that in English! It was definitely one of the highlights of the night for me along with my favorite song from them of course, Rome! I wanted them to sing Rome twice!:lol: I really love that song. All of the light effects were brilliant. During the show Thomas said something about how they couldn't sleep the night before because they were so excited to playing at the Hollywood Bowl, and that it meant a lot to them to be playing there.He said it was the best place they've ever played at. :awesome: I'm really glad the event was sold out because they really deserved for thousands of people to be cheering them on. What I found really brave and incredible of them is that at the very end after 1901, Thomas went out into the crowd and he was thanking us for coming and when he went back on stage he invited everyone on the front rows to come on stage and dance along to some instrumental music they were randomly playing!!! I was sooo jealous; I really wanted to be up there with them too!! I had never seen a band actually let the crowd come on stage. That was awesome! I have to say that after this show I am definitely a bigger Phoenix fan! I can't wait until I have the opportunity to see them again, which I hope is sometime in the near future because Thomas said they'll be back soon!!! :dance:

^ That's really awesome, I wanted to be at that show (and tonight's SB show, but couldn't make it to either). Did you arrive on-time to see Grizzly Bear? If so, how were they? The other person I know who went apparently got there merely a few minutes before Phoenix came on.
