Last night on the first day of the last month of summer (August 1), Beck and Phoenix kicked off their highly anticipated Summer Odyssey tour at the Climate Pledge Arena
Today, eight-time Grammy-winning artist Beck and Grammy-winning French band Phoenix announced their upcoming co-headline Summer Odyssey tour.
Phoenix has shared a brilliant video for their first new track in two years, “Alpha Zulu,” which was released last week to rapturous response on Glassnote Records. A send-up of the past meeting the

At this point we’re on auto pilot. We’re drones, zombies. The main things that keep us going are Red Bull and disco bass lines. But we love it.

We could do this forever.
