Phoenix Playing SNL Next Week!
26 Mar
Wow…talk about a quick rise to fame.
After releasing two brilliant singles from their upcoming album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, the frenchie-pop-rockers will be rocking SNL on April 4th, on a Seth Rogen-hosted episode.
I realize that SNL is maintaining its indie cred by getting awesome Pitchfork-rockers to play (TV On The Radio, Death Cab, Vampire Weekend, Fleet Foxes), but Phoenix surprised me, mostly due to the fact that they just haven’t MADE IT in the way that the aforementioned bands have. Those four all had ridiculous album sales, whereas Phoenix’s first few cds were loved by the indie-rock crew and not much else. Those four all had some radio play, while I haven’t heard “Listzomania” or “1901″ on the radio once. So although I am in no way criticizing SNL’s decision to get such a great band on their show, I’m just a tad surprised. All that’s for sure is that it will lead to a HEAVY sales boost for the band, who will most likely rock their insanely catchy songs incredibly well live.

New reason to watch SNL :-.D
what’s with all the spelling errors? who spells ‘great’ ‘gret’? this is diminishing my respect for the quality that is PMA.
Yeah bro-meister, since PMA’s main goal is to get you up-to-date tracks and news, we’re not necessarily going through a 15-step editing process to make sure that every article is entirely free of error. Hopefully you’re respeckt for the kwalitee that it PMA will inkrease again.
I bought these guys’ album last album, about a decade ago! Good that they are coming out with the next one!
Am I the only one who`s favorite Phoenix song is Rome?
ASP, calm the hell down no publication is perfect even RollingStone has a section for corrections in every issue as do all magazines and newspapers because only OCD-freaks expect perfection, saying that a tiny typo is “diminishing my respect for the quality that is PMA.” is retarded.
I agree with ASP, my respect for pma was also hurt with the error.
Sorree about thit E. Iwill trie to ficks these spilling errs as soon as plausible.
