The French quartet Phoenix has fulfilled its own prophecy,
succeeding to instill “Lisztomania” (or, more aptly, “Phoenixmania”) in the
minds of millions. Despite the widespread, rightfully manic obsession with the
band and their music, a Grammy for Best Alternative Album and shows that sell
out in seconds flat, the Phoenix gents remain humble and adorably wide-eyed.
Phoenix’s members have worked together in music since their teens, and enjoyed
some attention after the inclusion of their music in films like Lost In
Translation and Marie Antoinette.
The band’s third full-length,
2006’s It’s Never Been Like That, was successful enough to propel them
on a worldwide tour and through numerous festival appearances.
Still, it wasn’t until last year’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix that the group’s music met the masses, and we’ve been happily jamming along ever since. In live performances, Deck D’Arcy, Laurent Brancowitz, Thomas Mars and Christian Mazzalai are the instigators of a fantastic dance party. Talented and charming, the group is fun to watch and sing along with, and lead singer Mars often leaps into the crowd, taking a well-earned moment to revel in it all.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude. pacquiao vs marquez / khan vs peterson / pacquiao vs marquez 3 / pacquiao vs marquez streaming / marquez vs pacquiao / donaire vs narvaez / donaire vs narvaez tickets / st-pierre vs diaz / St-Pierre vs Diaz Tickets / hopkins vs dawson
