Phantogram - Bottle Rock After Dark

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Lauded as an experimental and alternative band and one that's never been married to a particular genre, Phantogram - comprised of lifelong friends Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel - have continued to change the zeitgeist for almost a decade by consistently challenging it with their signature blend of hard-hitting beats, guitar driven dark psychedelia and electronic pop. Since the arrival of 2010's debut release, Eyelid Movies, the duo has amassed over a billion streams, achieved one platinum-certified single, two gold-certified singles, collaborated with legends such as Tom Morello, Billy Corgan, The Flaming Lips and Miley Cyrus, partnered with Big Boi of Outkast to form supergroup Big Grams, headlined sold out shows worldwide, become a festival staple and toured with artists including Arcade Fire, The xx, Muse, M83, alt-J and more.

"Phantogram is one part Josh Carter (guitar) and one part Sarah Barthel (keyboard). This talented duo from New York have been friends since kids but only started making music together in 2007. I'm still not sure exactly what 'street beat/psyche pop' is, but these two are really good at it. On initial listen you might think hip-hop, but today's Song of the Day only leads you down that path for a few seconds before inserting a nasty guitar riff and the sweet shoegaze lyrics of Barthel over chilled synths and organic beats. Their unique sound makes you want to dance and close your eyes at the same time and leaves little wonder that the band has opened for talented acts like Ra Ra Riot, Yeasayer, and The Noisettes. This is one of the most surprisingly great bands you'll hear all summer; give them a listen." --KEXP
