the Phoenix Philosophy

The Phoenix Philosophy is an Electronic Rock band from Minneapolis, MN. The idea behind “the phoenix philosophy” applies to the band’s sonic evolution from into a heavily electronic influenced powerhouse consisting of members Jesse Weber (vocals/keys/programming), Stephanie Thorup (vocals/guitar/keys), Caio Thomas (bass), and Chad Helmonds (drums/programming). Elements of commanding guitars and introducing dueling male/female vocals over eerie synths creates a sonic blend of rock and electronic (pop) that matures and inspires with every release.

With several sold out shows at venues such as the Fine Line Music Cafe and First Avenue/7th Street in their hometown under their belt, The Phoenix Philosophy have also made their way across the midwest over the last few years. Most recently, they played to packed houses at The Rave/Eagles Club (Milwaukee, WI) and The Beat Kitchen (Chicago, IL). The band has shared the stage alongside national touring bands including Switchfoot, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, The Dangerous Summer, Icon For Hire, and Throw The Fight. The Phoenix Philosophy have also received airplay on commercial and internet radio. Stations such as 93x (KXXR Minneapolis, MN), Rockin’ 101 (WHMH St. Cloud, MN), Fearless Radio (Chicago, IL), and MIT Radio (Boston, MA) have spun tracks from the band’s growing catalog.

The Phoenix Philosophy have proven themselves as an unstoppable force and will continue to transcend beyond their roots in the Minneapolis music scene.
