4月16日The Phoenix Prestige 爱尔兰3人组中国巡演苏州魔方LOFT
Saturday night, April 16th，The Phoenix Prestige

The Phoenix Prestige started in 2008 as a two-piece guitar-drums combo. The band have been living in China since 2005 and performing in China as a three-piece band since 2009. Early days were spent experimenting and blending punk rock with new sounds, effects pedals, midi, electronic music and traditional Chinese instruments. Jay Iverson was added to the roster in late 2009 adding the furiosity and drumming intensity that the band had been searching for.

In Summer 2008 The Phoenix Prestige began work on their first recorded work entitled 'First' featuring demos and out-takes from practice sessions that would later appear on future work. In March 2009 , The Phoenix Prestige released 'Antarctica sessions', a similar work of demos and out-takes and began to gain a local following and reputation for alternative music in Hangzhou, China. Summer 2009 saw The Phoenix Prestige make Shanghai and Hangzhou television and radio appearances and demo work began on 'The Bullet Catch'. Then in March 2010, they released their debut Ep, 'The Bullet Catch', and began to spread their wings to venues around China in cities such as Hangzhou, Xi'an, Shanghai, Suzhou.
Later that year, The Phoenix Prestige made an appearance at the USA Expo of the Shanghai International World Expo on 4th of July.
In August 2010, The Phoenix Prestige embarked on their first ever ten city tour of China, where they debuted at reputable venues nationwide appearing in Beijing, Tianjing, Qingdao, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Wuhan, Changsha, Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou as well as independently connecting with underground distributers around China under their own label, IIIMedicIII Independent records.

On the strength of 'The Bullet Catch', The Phoenix Prestige has made international appearances in music magazines, and has also had radio and television interviews in both China and Internationally - 'The Beijinger: CN', 'Time Out: Hong Kong: CN', 'Shanghai Weekly: CN', 'TheRedstar: Qingdao: CN', 'Whisperin and Hollerin: UK', 'Electric Language podcast: UK', 'Alternative Ulster: Northern Ireland', Phantom FM : Ireland, WLRFM : Ireland, Live95FM : Ireland ... to name a few.

The band are now in the studio putting the finishing touches to their new Ep due for release in 2011 which will include 3 previously unreleased songs.

The Phoenix Prestige乐队最初于2008年以吉他+架子鼓的两人组合形式成立。乐队成员从2005年开始一直生活在中国，并于2009年开始以三人组合的形式进行演出。近段时间，乐队在试验摇滚和朋克摇滚中融入了新的声音，音效器，MIDI，电子音乐以及传统的中国乐器。2009年后半年，Jay Iverson加入本乐队，至此乐队找到了极富有激情的鼓手。
