BEATFEST 2009 with PHOENIX

August 1st 2009, yep, the second edition of Beatfest who previously succesfully bringing The Whitest Boy Alive and Steve Aoki to Jakarta on Beatfest2008. This year, it is time for French Pop Band, Phoenix. For the opening acts, there were Naif, The S.I.G.I.T. , and Rock N Roll mafia (They all performed superbly good).

Around 10:30 p.m., the Main Show , Phoenix hits the stage. Openng their show with their latest single "Lisztomania", they made the crowds go crazy jumping and sing-along-ing with Bengkel Nightpark's floor gets shaking. They played for about an hour and they perform their songs like "Long Distance Call", "Funky Squaredance", "Girlfriend", "Armistice", "Consolation Prizes", "Love Like A Sunset", "Napoleon Says", etc.






They left the stage and the crowds were shouting for an encore. as Predicted, Thomas Mars and Christian Mazzalai comes back to the stage and then Mars said "We came along from france and we have something special for you" and then they played cover of AIR's "Playground Love". after they played it, Mars asks the crowds to call for Brancowitz and the rest of the gang so they back on the stage. They played another 3-4 songs like "If I Ever Feel Better" and then they end the show with "1901"




Overall, it was an amazing night and they seemed to enjoy performing on that night at Bengkel Nightpark.




Merci Phoenix! Please do comeback.

PHOENIX : Meet n' Greet at Aksara Bookstore Kemang

What a way to start the August of 2009 with Phoenix, the french-Indie Pop quartet hits Jakarta.

The day starts on 12 p.m. , they held their Press Conference at Casa and then continued with a Meet n' Greet at aksara bookstore. I was lucky cause i got their Wolfgang Amadeus's Vinyl (and then they signed on it for me, Yeah!). Many people came and they were lucky enough to get a chance to take pictures with Thomas Mars, Deck d'Arcy, Christian Mazzalai, and Laurent Brancowitz.

They only got 30 Minutes cause after that, they must have their lunch at Casa and then they are going to Bengkel Nightpark for Soundchecking before they hit the stage on Beatfest 2009.
