Jeremiah Weed Interviews Cool Dudes @ Bonnaroo

Here is Jeremiah Weed interviewing Phoenix, Local Natives, and Mumford & Sons from this years Bonnaroo music fest.

4/6/10

Lollapalooza has just announced their 2010 line up and it looks decent. The headliners suck, Soundgarden (meh) Green Day (BARF!) Lada Gaga (kill me). Then we start getting into the good bands, Phoenix, The Strokes, MGMT, Spoon, Grizzly Bear, Yeasayer, Dirty Projectors, Matt and Kim, Drive by Truckers, The xx, Blues Traveler, Deer Tick, Minus The Bear, Walkmen, Mumford and Sons, Hockey, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Harlem, The Morning Benders, Freelance Whales, and Javelin. It's a mix of a lot of good indie artists and some of todays biggest pop stars. This isnt necessarily a festival that you HAVE to be at, but the line up is pretty good and worth the trip if you are able to attend. The festival will be taking place Aug 6-8th in as always Grant Park, Chitown. For passes, go here. To view the entire lineup, go here

Phoenix Release Free Live Album

Phoenix is such a kickass band. Every album is pop perfection. Their latest release 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix' has blown up beyond comprension and the song 1901 was a staple for 2009. Keeping it cool, they are now giving away a FREE live album from Sydney. Their live sound doesn't change too much from what we hear in studio...but why mess with something that is already perfect?

Tracklisting for Live in Sydney:
01 Lisztomania
02 Lasso
03 Fences
04 Girlfriend
05 Armistice
06 Love Like a Sunset
07 Rome
08 1901

The Year Of Phoenix

There can be no doubt that 2009 is the year of Phoenix. The French pop-rock sensation is living the hi life off their recent release 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix'. This album appeals to everyone from Lady Gaga lovers to the biggest indie snobs. They're pleasure-pushers, filling tunes with riffs, phrases, and beats a five-year-old could love. If you haven't checked out their back catalog, make sure to get your hands on 'Alphabetical' and 'It's Never Been Like That'.

Thomas Mars has a very soft, crisp voice that you know as soon as you hear it, very pleasing on the ears. This album has a ton of listenability with the epic 1-2 punch of Lizstomania/1901 and songs like 'Fences' 'Lasso' and 'Girlfriend'. There is no doubt that 1901 is my favorite song of the year. The beat is infectious. The lyrics, catchy, and the synths have enough hooks to land a 10lb large mouth. They hit it big in the USA this year having stops at Bonaroo and SNL. Also playing a lineup of gigs to support their album with the popular band Passion Pit opening for them. PP/PHX could be the best concert of the year, they are two absolutely electric bands. Wolfgang continues to get play in my ipod despite its early 09 release, its an album i can't stop listening to...so listen up!

Alphabetical Key Tracks: Run Run Run , Victim Of The Crime , Everything Is Everything
Never Been Like That Key Tracks: Napoleon Says , Long Distance Call , Consolation Prizes
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix Key Tracks: Lisztomania 1901

Acoustic French Set (amazing): La Blogotheque
