French buzz band Phoenix is bringing its buoyant electro-pop to the Big Apple, er, um, the big Apple Store, anyway.

The group’s latest album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix drew rave reviews in indie circles thanks to tracks like “Lisztomania” and  ”1901,” and the band even landed high-profile gigs on shows such as Saturday Night Live.

Phoenix’s big weekend shows at Central Park are sold out (sorry), but you still have a chance to catch them live in NYC this week.

Tonight (9/24) band is setting up for a free concert at the Apple Store located in SoHo (map). Show starts at 8:30pm, but we recommend getting in line early since it’s a small venue and tickets are limited.
