Phoenix: Tomorrow @ 4:30, AMD


Chosen by Rolling Stone as one of the must see bands of ACL '09:

"This year's breakout sweethearts, French band Phoenix has been building to their big moment for nearly 10 years now. The result is an airtight live show that showcases the clean lines and big beats in Phoenix's music. There's no denying that the group's music is built for dancing — witness the crazy rhythms of "Lisztomania" for just one example — but they also have all the edge and energy of rock."

Sound & Jury Battle of the Bands Winner

Austin's own Bright Light Social Hour was chosen at Antone's last night.

The Sound and the Jury is a virtual battle of the bands hosted by the Dell Lounge.


Over the course of the contest, fan votes and industry judges have whittled the band submissions down from 1,500 in Round 1, 100 in Round 2, 20 in Round 3 down to the Final Five. These 5 bands will duke it out in a live battle of the bands tonight. The winner was decided at the end of last night by an industry judging panel and audience votes.


They'll be playing this Friday at the Dell stage at 11:45 a.m. so, check 'em out.
