Vox. Juliet Trail Guitar 1. Michael Wingate Guitar 2. Drew Short Bass. Morgan Moran Drums. John Alietta ​Phoenix Noir was founded by Juliet Trail, Wally Worsley and Michael Wingate in 2008, in Charlottesville, Virginia. Exploring the themes of living in a complex, sometimes painful, always beautiful world and rocking out while doing it have been the guiding principles of the band. The imagery of the phoenix, reborn from the destructions we experience in life and returning stronger than ever, can be heard across the lyrics of the songs. The themes and visual style of film noir also inspire the band -- including the notions of anti-heroes, femme fatales, and a world where everything black and white is filled in with myriad shades of grey. The original lineup of the band is featured on this debut album, and includes Juliet on vox and keys, Wally Worsley and James Daniel on guitars, Chris Konizer on bass (stepping in for Michael Wingate) and Paul Bredder on drums. Album Production by Lance Brenner. Remix artists featured on this album include DJ Stroud, DJ Addambombb, U.S. and This Hollow Machine. Phoenix Noir is delighted to work with these talented artists in opening up new soundscapes and possibilities from within these original tracks.
