Review: Phoenix @ SummerStage

Jeffrey Greenblatt October 14, 2009 4 Comments

While technically the calendar would have us believe that we had just entered into the fall months, heading to Central Park a few Fridays back to catch Phoenix at SummerStage would have had you believing otherwise, as the sold-out crowd was ready to bask in one of the last outdoor concerts of the season at the city’s most serene and picturesque venues.

For the Parisian band, 2009 has shaped up to be their breakout year which kicked off with a rare three-song performance on Saturday Night Live before their latest and critically acclaimed album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix had even hit stores. Throw in a much buzzed about late-night set at Bonnaroo and sold out shows around the country, and they’ve made certain that they were no longer being referred to just as “that French band not called Air”.

You could feel a genuine pulse in the energy of the crowd as the stage lights dimmed and Phoenix hit the stage igniting a huge roar of approval when the band jumped right into the bouncy opening piano chords of their seemingly ubiquitous single Lisztomania – causing people to do something you generally don’t see outside a jamband concert – dance.

Gabriel Scheer October 14, 2009 No Comments

In short, the Pet Shop Boys provided what their fans came, first and foremost, to hear, and second, to see: consistent, nostalgic, beautiful music, coupled with a flamboyant and colorful stage show, all rounded off with an encore accompanied by the shooting of heaps of silver confetti from two large canons flanking the front of the stage.

Built To Spill: There Is No Enemy

Shawn Donohue October 14, 2009 No Comments

Earlier this year Doug Martsch, the creative force behind Built to Spill, said in an interview that “There are plenty of Built to Spill records- no one is in a hurry to hear something new”. With a hugely impressive back catalog he is right and from the sound of his newest album There Is No Enemy, hurrying was one of the last things on the bands mind; they seem to be stuck in neutral and coasting.
