Cool Kiwis The Phoenix Foundation are hitting Zurich at Komplex (www.komplex457.ch) on Friday 18.02.11...so I'll be there to show them some home-grown support. Anyone else?

Shameless self-promotion: I have a Zurich music blog (http://highrotation.ch) and I have some free tix to give away for the gig if anyone is interested?

I'm gutted! I love the phoenix foundation and only just saw this
Were they amazing? (I'm slightly hoping you'll tell me they were rubbish...)

they were great...but if it's any consolation there were major sound problems with the PA system at the venue, with the speakers degenerating into an awful ear-ripping Black Noise of Death (which blew out the microphones) every so often. They valiantly struggled on through, though. Ended on a semi acoustic 'Nest Egg' - lovely. Sorry you missed it! Don't worry, they will be back, sometime.

Sounds wonderful (except the black noise of death... not so wonderful).
Glad it was a good one, though still a bit green with envy.
I'm hoping to get along to some gigs soon... just learning to find where to get the best info at the moment!

This page is really helpful, and is for all around Switzerland:

or, *cough cough* my blog:

Have fun!

Thanks! Both look excellent - goldmines of gig info
p.s if you're not already going, i thoroughly recommend Belle&Sebastian. I've never seen such an array of instruments on one stage at once, all being used!

^ Belle & Sebastian - of course I am going! They have been a favourite of mine since the 'Tigermilk' days. I loved them at Zurich Open Air. A pity they are playing at X-Tra (that soulless place) - Plaza would have been so much nicer. But oh well, I'll take what I can get.
Maybe we should have a EF meet-up?

Good plan! EF gig-going group
All the venues are new to me... i only got here a few weeks ago so don't know soulless from soulful yet.
I'm going to check out those lists and get booking!
