The Phoenix Foundation is an indie rock band formed in Wellington, New Zealand... (wikipedia)
Someone called it future pop, which is a bit pretentious, but I kind of liked it.
We try and have regular band practices so we can have the luxury of working on new ideas without feeling the pressure of a gig in a week.
Then at high school I got an electric guitar and a book with some photos of Eddie Van Halen in it and my grades went downhill.
