If phoenix means the universal symbol of the sun, resurrection and rebirth than the French band Phoenix must love the San Francisco Bay Area. For their 2010 tour of their most recent album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, they performed in San Francisco at the Fillmore in January. But if you missed them then catch them live at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz on April 17th located at 1011 Pacific Avenue.
Their 1901 hit doesn’t merely stir the masses to their feet but it is a medley of vintage charm and modern art. That is the song suggests nostalgia for Paris in the early 1900’s while the video kicks it up with a fantastic showcase of strobe-like effects. It’s an anthem for the times as it serves the collective need to simply just dance whilst carrying much more. In the year 2010 it is the first 10 years of the 21st Century where the internet, google and facebook are pushing the envelope in space and time inner-connectedness.
If you go see Phoenix at The Catalyst make a day of it and hit the rides at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Built in the early 1900’s they are the only major seaside amusement park on the west coast. From their oldest roller coaster, The Giant Dipper to their upcoming newly renovated Haunted House this attraction is a must-see. What's more, their Unlimited Ride wrist bands are affordable and make it ultra easy to enjoy the rides to the hilt for the entire day.
