It seems like Phoenix is 'the most mainstream indie band in the world', possibly right behind the Arcade Fires. A few mainstream sports bros had a sweet facebook convo about a band called Phoenix. Have yall heard of them? Are they too underground for ur bro brand, or has Phoenix gone 'more mainstream than ever'?

It seems like a college bro first starts out the convo by saying he 'aced' his calculus class, and is vibing out to Phoenix until it is time to drink brews and watch live sports.

Then a confused bro is like 'Huh? Phoenix? Is that the guy from Linkin Park's solo project?'

College bro sends out a youtube link to the hit Phoenix song "1901."

Linkin Park bro is then like "Oh ya... heard that shit on the NHL 2k10 video game, bitches."

Finally, a totally alt sports bro chimes in and says "Matt and Kim is waay better than Phoenix, yall."

How do u feel about sports bros knowing about Phoenix [via video games]?
Do u ever get indie bands mixed up with Linkin Park?
Are sports bros the 'silent consumers' or indie music?
Are sports bros 'the next generation' of cool dads?
Do bands reach new audiences when they license their music to video games + movies + commercials?
Should Phoenix put out a new album so they can outsell Vampire Weekend?
Will Phoenix's next album sell more albums than the Arcade Fire, or are they 'too French'?
Did yall ace ur calculus class, or was it not required for your design school program? [via math not being for 'creative types']
