Phase

TOY SOLDIERS

Our lads are back in Greece, currently offering their services to the nation in that noble tradition known as mandatory military duty; which is ironic, considering their greatest weapon has always been stringed instruments, not a gun. Between marching drills and peeling potatoes (or whatever it is they’re trusted with), they’ve had plenty of time to reflect. And in those long, contemplative hours, they’ve realised just how much they miss making music, and how badly they need to get back to the stage.

So, they’ve sparked a little internal uprising, pushing the band to get back in motion rather than let things sit idle. The result? Some lovely plans now in motion, including our headline show at the O2 Academy.

To kick things off, we’ve secured the first 100 tickets for the price of a pint—because, well, we can. You’d think a band like the Rolling Stones, with their decades of legacy and mountains of cash, could offer something similar to their loyal fans. But instead, they’re charging £1,000 for front-row seats. Nothing screams “punk spirit” like an invoice the size of two months worth of rent, right?

Anyway, we’re clearly the bigger band. I mean, have you seen how much Mick Jagger weighs these days?

Just drop us a line if you are interested in those early-bird tickets!

Phase and Fez

Our long-time friend and part-time touring companion, the multi-instrumental marvel Fardin ‘Fez’ Esfandiari (Guitars, Drums, Bass, Synths, Sax—yes, really), has been with us for over a year now. We’re thrilled to say that from here on out, he’ll be a more permanent fixture in the lineup. His presence will be much more tangible on our upcoming warm-up UK tour, Tour Unseen—named after the single we’re about to release as a forerunner to Phase’s third album.

Even better, the plan is for Fez to stick around even after Damos wraps up his current obligations and rejoins us on the road. That means the full-blown Phase experience will once again be unleashed for your ears and eyes sometime next year.

Stay tuned—some truly wonderful things are about to unfold.
