idk if you had any pics of them performing in New Orleans on Saturday. You could probably find better pics but this is one that i took… they were great (my phone died when thomas came into the crowd unfortunately)
I don’t think (?) this has already been posted, but for Canadians and anyone who can see the video, Phoenix were on CBC’s Studio Q back in March:
And I also ran across this little interview with Deck and Chris:

What did you think of their new album? I thought it was less boring than their last. I liked this review from BadgerSenate.com http://badgersenate.com/phoenix-bankrupt/
Neuzeth- Hi, thanks for the review! We already discussed our opinions about the album in this ask. I wouldn’t call Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix boring at all though, but I guess the synths and techniques used in Bankrupt! may appeal to some people more. Each Phoenix album has something different to offer.
Buzzfeed has compiled the top 40 reasons why Phoenix is the most adorable band. They’ve used a lot of pictures that we’ve posted in the past which was really cool to see. Click here to read the article.
“The goal is to lose something, looking for an emotion we don’t understand,” Mazzalai describes. “That’s what we are happy about in songwriting. Now we have to explain it, and it’s very hard. Why those words? Why those chords? It’s emotion, it can’t be explained. We don’t know, and we love it. We love the fact that we don’t know, it’s still a mystery.”
I interviewed Deck and Christian about the making of Bankrupt! for BlackBook. They were super nice and great guys to talk to!
