Formed in 1999, the French indie-alternative-rock band Phoenix started in the same culture that produced the late-90's band such as Air and Daft Punk. In my eyes, I consider them the revolution of the Beetles and Jet put together to form one cool ass band :) These guys totally give your mood an uplift - guaranteed. If they're coming around your area, i recommend you to check them out! It will be worth it. Unfortunately there is only one show in Melbourne on August 3rd :( Bad luck...
Anyway, here are a few tracks that you could check out on Youtube (or download...shh) or buy their album!
From the album United, 2000: Too Young and If I Ever Feel Better (featured in the show, Entourage) and from the album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, 2009: 1901 and Lisztomania (you are actually listening to right now!).
You can easily contrast from the two albums, how much they've grown as a band and through their evolving music.
