The other day, my boyfriend and I were having a discussion about how awesome Phoenix’s upcoming show in Chicago is going to be. During our conversation, he posed a question to me: have Phoenix ever actually played a show in Phoenix, Arizona? Determined to find out the answer, I consulted Google... to no avail. Next, I turned to Last.fm’s event page to much success. The answer is no, my friends, Phoenix (to my internet research knowledge) have never played a show in Arizona. And if my 10-minute long comprehensive search is somehow wrong, at the very least, they haven’t played Arizona in years. So what does this all mean? I think someone (*cough* Phoenix the band *cough*) is afraid of a little competition (cough Phoenix the city cough). Don’t worry guys, there’s enough room in The Grand Canyon state for you to play a show there every once in awhile.
