Bio The Phoenix Foundation
The Phoenix Foundation are Sam Flynn Scott – vocals/guitar, Luke Buda – vocals/guitar, Conrad Wedde – guitarist/keys player, Tom Callwood – bass, Richie Singleton – drums and Will Ricketts – percussion. Hailing from New Zealand, they have long been considered NZ’s best kept secret. Newly signed to Memphis Industries in the UK, The Phoenix Foundation are set to remain a secret no longer. From intelligent and infectiously catchy pop/rock gems, to epic, psychedelic prog rock, The Phoenix Foundation’s forthcoming album Buffalo is a glorious pop polyglot, combining sun bleached harmonies, chiming guitars, progressive synth scapes and subliminal rhythms to glorious effect. Already a hit down under, where it has spent five consecutive weeks in the top ten, Buffalo is the band’s warmest, most loveable recording yet. The band have also lent their skills to score Oscar nominated Kiwi director Taiki Waititi’s films Eagle Versus Shark and 2010’s Berlin Film Festival winning Boy.
