Phoenix — Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

Pop music is based on principles of excess. Manipulating and pinpointing this excess into flashes of musical bliss has forever been a central preoccupation for those invested in the genre — artists strive to create it, while fans continually hunt for these perfect pop moments. On Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, Phoenix's fourth album, the Paris-based...

in
By Brian Pascual (CHARTattack) September 29, 2006 5:00 pm
At a Phoenix show, you never really know who's going to show up. Will it be the dance club kids or the indie rock intelligentsia? On this night the answer was both. That's unsurprising, given Phoenix's penchant for keeping the lines between dance and rock music thoroughly blurred. For anyone keeping score, the fashionable Frenchmens' recent...

“We all come from the same part of town in Versailles, and we started to hang out with them when we were around 20. When I heard their first demos, I thought they were ahead of their time. I knew them when they were young, and they were dreaming of the pop culture in the States. And now America gives that love back. It's such a fair thing. I'...

It's been two years after Phoenix released Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, their explosively popular fourth album that wound up on countless best-of-the-year lists -- numero uno for both the A.V. Club and Drowned in Sound -- and put a grammy in the Frenchies' hands. Next week will see the premiere of From a Mess to the Masses, a documentary that...

Looks like 102.1 The Edge and Dean Blundell are in some trouble again. The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council said Wednesday that comments Blundell made suggesting Justin Bieber was "gay" and that his fans were "likely 12 years old" violated part of the council's "equitable portrayal code" because they had "inappropriately sexualized children."...

Bonnaroo 2010 Day 4: Phoenix At Sunset Is The Perfect Ending

By Mike Bax (CHARTattack) June 16, 2010 11:20 am
The final day at Bonnaroo 2010 saw a few fans and press people packing up and leaving at scattered intervals throughout the day. This is not to sell the last day of Bonnaroo short, but after three days of porta-potties, poor sleep, body odor and a general underlying smell of compost surrounding the grounds it wasn't hard to feel the lure of...

The eight-track mini-album was recorded in Sydney, Australia and is appropriately titled Live In Sydney. Eight tracks may not seem like a lot of music, but you really can't argue with the price tag.

Saturday (Dec. 5) night's gig at Sound Academy offered one of the oddest musical pairings Toronto has seen for sometime. Phoenix and Holy Fuck's fanbases do overlap, but Phoenix's recent ascent into the North American mainstream would no doubt bring out a whole new segment of fans who had never heard of Holy Fuck. The question, then, was would...
