I should start out mentioning that this is a historic We’ve Got a File On You, because it’s the first one featuring more than one person interviewed simultaneously. Up until now, it’s been a solo interview series. Thomas, you don’t do press unless someone else from the band is with you. THOMAS MARS: Well, it’s true that a band is an endangered spec...
Ten years before she became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was a student at Boston University, doing what every other college student was doing in 2009, which was dancing to “Lisztomania.” A video of her doing as much was released by right-wingers in hopes of it embarrassing her, which clearly backfired. What ...
Musicians have made for good bedfellows with the booze industry for a long time now. You mentioned Dylan earlier, he has his own whiskey. But you guys are the first band I know of to have produced three different kinds of your own Japanese sake. It was inspired by the band’s 20th anniversary, and as a tribute to your late friend and restauranteur T...
You guys appeared in Bill Murray’s A Very Murray ChristmasNetflix special, which was directed and co-written by Thomas’ wife Sofia Coppola, playing an unreleased Beach Boys tune, “Alone On Christmas Day.” How’d you settle on that song? MARS:I typed “Christmas” in my iTunes library. I was really obsessed with Beach Boys rarities; I have a lot of the...
During the encore of your 2010 show at Madison Square Garden, you brought Daft Punk out to do “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.” I know you have a long history with them, but how did that particular moment come together? BRANCOWITZ:I love this interview, it makes it sound like our life is filled with stellar moments! Thank you, let’s do it again. ...
We have to talk about winning the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album. What was that night like? MARS:It was a thrill and it was also very humbling; a glorious moment and a very cheap moment at the same time. Because it’s in the convention center! It’s not the real Grammys, you know. Alternative Album is not an event that’s on TV. So you’re wit...
Over the years, only a handful of artists have played three songs on Saturday Night Live. The ’90s saw Pearl Jam, R.E.M., Springsteen, Paul McCartney do three songs during the broadcast. Just the other week, Kendrick Lamar did three. That’s a pretty impressive. When you guys made your SNLdebut in 2009, you also joined the three-song club. How’d you...
Phoenix have always felt like a pretty fashionable band to me. In 2004, you guys did a remix of “Victim Of The Crime” from your sophomore album Alphabeticalfor a Dior runway show. In 2009, you guys curated a special mixtape for Maison Kitsune, which has its own fashion line. What would you say Phoenix’s relationship is to fashion, back then and tod...
Your first video was directed by Thomas’ future brother-in-law Roman Coppola for the track “Funky Squaredance” in 2000. It’s a very bizarre sort of meta thing where the making of the video is the actual video. Can you describe how you decided to go in the direction you eventually did with it? BRANCOWITZ:We sent him an email asking, “We love you, we...
There’s a great clip from 1998 where you guys are the backing band for Air doing “Sexy Boy” at a London TV studio, but I think we kinda agreed upfront that we’re not gonna do the nostalgia thing, so I’m gonna let you off the hook. MARS:No! I mean these were super fun for us because it was not our band, so the pressure was not higher. BRANCOWITZ:We ...
