THE PHOENIX FOUNDATION On tour and new music SHOWS Auckland - Double Whammy - Friday the 13th of December (tix from Under The Radar) Wellington - Meow - Saturday the 14th (tix from Moshtix) 2025, another putrid rotten avocado of a year will be mildly improved by the ridiculously exciting news that New Zealand’s favourite ever chumps The Phoenix Foundation are heading out on tour and releasing their first new music since 2020 (remember that shithole of a year, was life BETTER THEN WTF? ). These are the bands first classic, normal, unfancy gigs in years and they are frothing to get out and just play some music and reconnect with their friends and fans (and enemies?) in Auckland and Wellington. December is a nightmare right? Get the heck away from those awkward staff parties, avoid all Christmas in the park bullshit and come see Aotearoa’s best band be the best band that this band can possibly be. They will play their new songs AND they will play their old songs. That's the way gigs work. TPF used the week between their two Camp A Low Hum appearances earlier this year,  to hang out in a recording studio together like a normal old fashioned band and the results, as we’ve come to expect from these bozos, is equally uplifting and depressing. When you hear this music a fever will take control of your insides and you will feel a strong urge to jump on X, formerly known as Twitter, formerly known as talking to each other, and say “Mamma mia, those phoenicians have done it again!” Do not fight that urge. The first new single will arrive on streaming services this November, the 28th, that's a Friday. We can’t say much just ponder this “The squeaky wheel gets the grease, while the butcher gets the golden geese, the killer gets to be released tonight.” Sounds fun? Spoiler alert; this world is not a very nice place. Really amazing, really qualified support acts to be announced via fax. Please forward us your FAX numbers.
