Thomas is a one-man show but he is a perfect addition for the enjoyable performance.

I mention the tour support because what will inevitably catch your eye is the energetic drumming done by Swedish drummer, Thomas Hedlund. With a stage filled with talent, you'll notice the four band members (Thomas Mars- Vocals Deck d'Arcy- Bass, keyboards Laurent Brancowitz- Guitar, keyboards Christian Mazzalai- Guitar) accompanied by a few others providing tour support. The French based band provides a perfect mixture of poppy percussion, soulful guitar, and perfectly utilized synthesizers and none of this is lost when appreciating them live. Though they really broke on the scene with their hit album, Wolfgang Amadeus (2009), they should really be appreciated based on the catchy songs that you may not know.Ĭall it alternative rock, synthpop, or new wave, when listening to Phoenix, you will call it great fun. P.S interesting fact: the 2 members of Daft Punk used to be in a band with Phoenix's bassist called Darlin' ! Everything turned out so well ! He also played an entire song standing in the crowd (I actually helped hold him up hehe) as well as an acoustic version of Countdown (Sick for the big sun) ! Just when you thought they might collapse on stage they kept giving more and more ! Without a doubt, go see them. They opened with Entertainment and played Love Like a Sunset in which Thomas actually left the stage and gave way to the other musicians. And they even played a couple of old songs like Consolation Prizes ! The playlist was very well crafted so as to give a mellow break for the crowd and the band. They played the 90% of the latter and 60% of Bankrupt! So fans who weren't familiar with it weren't disappointed. I saw them when they were touring on their Bankrupt! album, which most fans and critics agree isn't nearly as good as Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. But not Phoenix ! They give soooo much energy in their live performance that you can't help but scream even louder than you thought you could as an acknowledgement. Some bands are terrible at festival settings but amazing when it's just them. I have seen Phoenix twice in concert, once at a festival (T in the park) and once at the Metropolis in Montreal. You're gotta love the French ! I don't know if they've always been as energetic as this or if it's the singer Thomas Mars' new marriage to director Sofia Coppola that's gotten him all revved up, but, to quote Icona Pop, I love it.
