Earlier this year, the trio…
French rockers Phoenix are hitting the road this fall, in support of their new album, Bankrupt!, which was released back in April via Glassnote. They’ve just announced an appearance at our very own Marathon Music Works on Oct. 4, which is a downright intimate venue by Phoenix standards (by comparison- they’re also playing Brooklyn’s Barclays Center that same week, with…
