Wānaka Festival of Colour

Heralding from Wellington, The Phoenix Foundation have lived many lives. From high school distortion addicts to indie folk trippers to masters of motorik dream pop, they are a band in the truest sense: six members each bringing their own unique skills to a musical collective responsible for producing some of the country’s finest music for over a decade.

‍

From intelligent and infectiously catchy pop/rock gems, to epic, psychedelic prog rock, their music is a glorious pop polyglot: sunbleached harmonies, chiming guitars, progressive synthscapes and subliminal rhythms, combined at the service of consistently great song-writing, yet the result never sounds like anyone else.

‍

There is no better final act to bring the curtain down on the Wānaka Festival of Colour on this final night; the audience is advised to bring comfy shoes for an evening of toe-tapping and inevitable dancing.
