"Phoenix is a French alternative rock band that perform songs in English. The band formed in 1999 in the semi-affluent Parisian suburb of Versailles, in the same culture that produced late-90s bands such as Air and Daft Punk. Phoenix started as the backing band for a remix of Air's 'Kelly Watch the Stars' single. Soon after, Phoenix released their 2000 debut album United.

Their biggest hit, 'Too Young', was featured in the Farrelly brothers' 2001 movie Shallow Hal, and later in Sofia Coppola's 2003 movie Lost in Translation. The second album, Alphabetical, released in 2004, saw the band reach moderate mainstream success, with the singles 'Everything Is Everything' and 'Run Run Run' reaching some alternative pop charts. Following Alphabetical, the band toured three continents, playing 150 dates. This tour was followed up with a live album, Live! Thirty Days Ago, released only 30 days after the end of the tour. Phoenix then spent time in Berlin during the summer of 2005, making use of Planet Roc studios to produce their third album, It's Never Been Like That."
