Phoenix Play Intimate Tribeca Gig

December 4, 2009

What a cool night!

Before we headed to the sex show that was Rihanna’s MySpace concert, Poison Ivy trekked to Tribeca’s P.C. Richard & Son Theater for an intimate Clear Channel Stripped performance by French rockers Phoenix.
There couldn’t have been more than 100 people in the room!!
Phoenix played a phenomenal six-song set, including “Lisztomania,” “Lasso,” Cadillac commercial jam “1901,” and “Playground Love,” off of 1999’s The Virgin Suicides‘ soundtrack.
“They asked us to play a cover song,” singer Thomas Mars told the crowd.
“We wrote this with our friends in the band Air, so this is half a cover song,” Mars clarified, before singing the opening notes of “Playground Love.”
Check out a clip of the performance, below.
