It looks like the days of us keeping Phoenix in our own little private world are over and getting tickets to one of their shows will be quite the challenge from here on out. Congrats on the fame guys! We of course know you’ve heard about the huge 101x sponsored show with Phoenix, White Denim and Hockey at La Zona Rosa. You probably already know it’s sold out too. You may have even searched craigslist only to find that tickets are scalping for close to $100! That’s just silly. I guess you shouldv’e seen them at ACL. Don’t fret too much kids, I’m sure they’ll be back around sometime.

Our good friends over at Two Groove are helping putting on a show at Antones on Sunday night featuring some of the best local music Austin has to offer. The lineup includes Speak, Stereo is a Lie, and ATH faves Frantic Clam. You can also expect some photo booth action, goodie bags for the first 30 in attendance, and some other special guests. Ticket prices are directly benefiting the Austin Children’s Shelter so why not hear some good music for a great cause?

How is it possible that Five Iron Frenzy, one of my favorite bands of all time, has yet to be mentioned on this ATH website? I don’t know! If you aren’t familiar with this brilliant ska band from the late 90s and early 00s, they existed in a simpler time of music when things weren’t taken so seriously. These guys have since gone their separate ways, but I just found out that a new Five Iron Frenzy documentary DVD is planned for release in January 2010. Hooray! You newbies out there should probably start off your FIF experience with their 1997 sophomore album Our Newest Album Ever, progress to EP Quanitity is Job 1, and then wrap things up with their live album Proof That the Youth Are Revolting. All of these albums dropped in a span from 1997-1999 when the band was truly at the height of their creativeness. Below is a song from that sophomore album called “Blue Comb ’78” which truly encompasses the ska/pop and overall good times of this band. Enjoy and drop me a line if you’re having trouble finding their music.

The band’s new self-titled debut will be hitting stores Feb. 2nd via Kemado Records. For now, have a listen to first single “C’mon”. Dare we say that it’s already one of our favorites of 2010?
