Following a Grammy nomination in the category of Best Alternative Album, and a series of incredible holiday radio shows in December, Phoenix will be returning to North America this month for their first shows of 2010. The dates, which start in Vancouver as part of the 2010 Cultural Olympiad series, sees the band hitting select cities along the West Coast, as well as playing shows in Mexico for the first time.
2009 was a breakthrough year for the French band, with music lovers across the country falling for the infectious melodies and driving rhythms of their career-defining fifth album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (Loyaute/Glassnote). Phoenix and their songs – including dynamite singles “1901″ and “Lisztomania” – were everywhere in 2009, and the year-end lists have been teeming with praise for the album, landing them in the Top Ten on lists by Rolling Stone, Time Magazine, Myspace (who named them Artist of the Year), Spin, Pitchfork, JamBase and many more.
