You know, Mondays aren’t as bad as they say. ESPECIALLY this one, and I will tell you why. This morning, my personal favorite group of lovely French men (Phoenix) announced a whole bunch of tour dates via this photo posted to their social media accounts. Whitney, The Lemon Twigs, and Miike Snow will be joining them on tour.

Not only did they announce the tour but it just so happens to be starting in FLORIDA..where Indie Music Heartbeat resides! Specifically the House of Blues where I saw them perform a few years ago. I have said this before and I will say it again, their live performances are like no other. They always play way more songs than you think they will and..Thomas Mars almost always jumps into the crowd with his signature red glowing microphone cord trailing behind him. To say I’m excited would be the understatement of the year. New tour means new music am I right?! Now, while I go back to jumping up and down, check out the tour dates below and revisit the tour trailer featuring new music!
