Two years ago, the band Phoenix was known mostly by critics and dance-music fans for its slick blend of soaring melodies and propulsive beats, or the fact that singer Thomas Mars was the beau of director Sofia Coppola, with whom he has a child.These days, the French pop-rock band is everywhere, soundtracking Cadillac commercials with the ubiquitous single "1901" and popping up as the musical guest on NBC TV’s SNL, Phoenix also snagged a Best Alternative Album Grammy last year for its latest, most widely praised album, "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix."
The band, which delivered a triumphant main-stage set at the Monolith Music Festival last year, will returned to Denver in August for the third annual Mile High Music Festival at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. The boys also played a sold-out show at the Ogden Theatre as part of their lengthy, largely sold-out 2010 International Tour.
Phoenix will be at The Fillmore at the Jackie Gleason Theatre in Miami Beach, Florida on Wednesday October 27, 2010.
