Ever since Phoenix broke out in the US with their fourth album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, in 2009, the French band has been one of the most consistent forces in indie music. Over the past decade, they’ve dropped three albums filled with unceasingly jubilant and exciting indie pop and indie rock that’s both idiosyncratic and unmistakably comforting. The good news for their fans stateside is that they’ll be returning to the US this summer, and they’ve just announced that part of that trek will include a residency in Los Angeles at the Fonda Theatre, on September 6, 7, 10, 11, and 12.

The band is promising “a very ‘speciale’ night” — with “special” said “as pronounced in Italian: ‘speh-chah-leh'” — that will include guests, exclusive merch, and of course, gelato. Here’s a quick stab in the dark re: their special guests: Maybe we get an appearance from actor Jason Schwartzman, who is cousins with Phoenix frontman, lives in California, and used to be the drummer for Phantom Planet. Hey, far stranger things have happened.
