The Phoenix Foundation is an indie rock band formed in Wellington, New Zealand... (wikipedia)
Someone called it future pop, which is a bit pretentious, but I kind of liked it.
Then at high school I got an electric guitar and a book with some photos of Eddie Van Halen in it and my grades went downhill.
We try and have regular band practices so we can have the luxury of working on new ideas without feeling the pressure of a gig in a week.
