Media Release – November 2009

Phoenix Foundation Christmas EP And Single

The Phoenix Foundation will have a new album in early 2010, but first they’re releasing a Christmas EP called MERRY KRISKMASS! It will be available both physically and digitally from December 7.

Following in the footsteps of other radio-friendly, smash hit artists like Cliff Richard & The Darkness, MERRY KRISKMASS will include The Phoenix Foundation’s first ever Christmas single ‘’EVERYBODY’S MONEY’’. Although technically nothing to do with Christmas, it will be on the Christmas EP, will be released around Christmas, and is a very nice song.

The Krisk is a small stuffed white man who rides a reindeer. This incongruous character has inspired a nice little EP, which shows a different side to the band, and the same sides all over again.

MERRY KRISKMASS was recorded at the Car Club & Surgery Studio with Lee Prebble & Brett Stanton during the recording of their soon (but not very soon) to be released fourth studio album, of which the title is almost decided but still unknown.

‘’Everybody’s Money’’ goes to radio this week, AND in the very near future it will also be offered as a FREE DOWNLOAD for a limited time. Join The Phoenix Foundation’s mailing list now for more details @ http://www.thephoenixfoundation.co.nz/

Finally, The Phoenix Foundation are absolutely delighted to be playing support for Jarvis Cocker at the Wellington Town Hall on 3/12, and The Powerstation, Auckland on 4/12. Tickets are still available from www.ticketmaster.co.nz (09 970 9700) & Real Groovy Records, but get in quick!
