MYSPACE MUSIC ANNOUNCES SECRET SHOW FEATURING PHOENIX

French Rock Band to Perform with Amazing Baby at The Record Bar in Kansas City, MO, on Wednesday, June 24

June 22, 2009 – MySpace Music is pleased to announce an upcoming Secret Show featuring Phoenix and Amazing Baby at The Record Bar in Kansas City, MO, on Wednesday, June 24. The Secret Show performance will be held exclusively for MySpace users, who were notified via MySpace Music’s Secret Show profile. Doors for the concert will open at 8:00 PM.

Paris, France’s Phoenix are playing select North American dates this summer in support of their critically acclaimed new album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, out now on Loyaute/Glassnote Records. With an appearance in April on Saturday Night Live, tons of critical praise (including a 4-star Rolling Stone review) and boundless excitement surrounding their new release, Phoenix’s launch to the next level of their already impressive career is happening as we speak. After touring the world behind It’s Never Been Like That, Phoenix joined forces with Philippe Zdar, who co-produced the new album, and re-worked their songs for a year-and-a-half until Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix was fully formed. It is an album that exudes whimsical breeziness, engaging the listener with a seamless blend of synthetics and organics, danceable rhythms, infectious choruses and pop sensibilities that are winning over music fans all around the globe.

Amazing Baby, a Brooklyn-based five-piece and one of New York’s most talked-about bands of the moment, will be releasing their debut album Rewild on June 23 on Shangri-la Music, but they’ve already earned praise in the States and overseas with the release of their four-song Infinite Fucking Cross EP last year. Rewild is an album that marries the subtleties of so many influences – The Who, Elvis Costello, Frank Zappa, Black Sabbath – and boils them down into one head-turning slice of rock and roll exuberance. Amazing Baby’s psychedelic rock spans everything from the depths of black metal to the high sighs of glam rock to the perfect melodies of sugary pop. They have opened for friends and fellow Brooklyn natives MGMT, Bloc Party, Cold War Kids and more. Their sets at this year’s SXSW ignited a rapturous response as the band showcased their live energy, raucous guitar riffs and promising new material. Don’t miss your chance to hear one of the most striking albums of 2009 live!
