From the Alter Wartesaal to your radio: Phoenix!

When the French foursome Phoenix emerged from Versailles in the late 1990s, their fondness for unfashionably smooth FM rock seemed somewhat eccentric.

For a decade, they occupied a hipster niche, quietly doing their thing while listeners slowly caught up, approaching a tipping point that nobody knew was there - until their fourth album, 2009's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, outsold their entire back catalogue many times over.

They headlined Madison Square Garden, the Hollywood Bowl and, most recently, the Alter Wartesaal in Cologne, to promote their new album Bankrupt!, where thanks to WDR-1Live we recorded their gig live, which is available for the Euroradio network. Already, some 15 radio stations will broadcast Phoenix, with no doubt more to come!
