The Phoenix Foundation rose from the ashes of Wellington's late-90s high school music circuit to become one of the country's most acclaimed bands. Like MacGyver (the TV show the band name references) the six-piece have brought an eclectic DIY approach to three albums of, accomplished alt-pop, catchy singles (‘Bright Grey', ‘This Charming Van') and quirky soundtracks (Eagle vs Shark). The NZ Herald rated Happy Ending Album of the Year and "one of the best examples of pop music to come out of New Zealand"; Neil Finn gushed: "The Phoenix Foundation write really good songs … a beautiful record indeed”.
