Okay - so I very rarely get angry when it comes to music, but I am pretty pissed right now.I just found out that Phoenix - the soft rock band outta France that released their second album this summer to widespread acclaim - has added US tour dates.
This normally would not be a problem except that the tour is by invite only and if you don't get an invite the only other way to get tickets is through your local CAMEL CIGARETTE representative.
WHAT?!?!
I'm sorry, but seriously that's the worst crap I've ever heard. Thanks Phoenix, I'm really psyched that only serious smokers can hang out at your gigs. And also that you're getting played repeatedly on MTVu. Sweet.
Their agent definitely should've given them the thumbs down on this idea, seriously, WTF?
Lame lame lame.
If you're like me (and a huge loser) you can send them an angry email at their myspace page:

But - in some good news The Shins just announced a show at McCarren pool on August 23. Tickets go on sale Saturday at noon and you can expect those puppies to be gone in about a second - but you gotta have faith! Plus, their songs will change your life.
