French alternative rock band Phoenix have let slip that they will be making their way over to Australia for a quick pop in tour. Whilst some might have hoped that they would appear at Splendour in The Grass, a little bit of research has dimmed those hopes. Phoenix will be appearing at Besfestival (UK) over the Splendour weekend. Nevertheless, Phoenix will be performing a couple of shows so far in Melbourne and Sydney come August time. Time will tell if they expand this tour to the rest of the country.
Phoenix last played in Australia as part of the 2007 V Festival to a rapturous applause. Phoenix was formed in 1996 when Laurent Brancowitz joined after leaving his band Darlin', which later went on to become Daft Punk. After three studio albums, Phoenix are back with their fourth 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix'. Its release date is set for May 25th, but already a single '1901' has been getting heaps of airplay over the radio. Their next single is 'Listzomania' and let us just tell you, it provides a great measure for what the rest of the album sounds like. We've been listening to 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix' all week and it's bloody solid. It won't make our 'Best Of 2009' list, but its still a great listen.
