The French group Phoenix rocked our socks off when they rolled through North America in May. It looks like the band has two more runs of dates on our shores in 2006, the next beginning in Minneapolis later this month. After they conclude this two-week jaunt, they will be back again for an appearance at the Austin City Limits Festival and a string of west coast dates in September.
