Phoenix

Phoenix reached the halfway point of their very “speciale” Ti Amo residency at Brooklyn Steel on Saturday night…

Phoenix continued their “Ti Amo” residency at Brooklyn Steel on Friday night (6/6) and the second night was almost identical to the first, right down to frontman Thomas Mars’ shirt, but they did swap out “Consolation Prizes” for “Long Distant Call” and brought out openers Giorgio Poi for “Lovelife”…

Phoenix promised something “very speciale” at their five-night “Ti Amo” residency at Brooklyn Steel and at Thursday night’s kickoff (7/5) it was clear they meant it.

Plus: Khruangbin, A$AP Ferg, Sidney Gish, Fuck, and more tour news.
