ION INDIE MAGAZINE February 2016, Volume 21 | Page 69
This month’s ION Indie Magazine “Reverbnation Artist of the Month”, PHOSPHENE, comes
from the Windy City of Chicago. And The Windy City is not just blowing hot air with these guys
(and a gal). While they’re not on “The Loop”, they are still in it by cranking out hit music for
their fans, old and new.
You may have seen them on VANS WARPED TOUR, at SXSW or tearing up stages across the
country at many of the hottest clubs nationwide. Or maybe you saw them on FOX NEWS, ABC
7 NEWS CHICAGO, THE MANCOW SHOW, or even watched Phosphene’s singer, JENI, sing the
National Anthem on ESPN “Friday Night Fights”, hosted by MIKE TYSON.
Phosphene (Jeni, Michael, Dan and Andrew) could have caught your eye in the many press
appearances they have made from coverage inside some of the best Rock ‘n’ Roll
magazines…including ALTERNATIVE PRESS and REVOLVER MAGAZINE…not to mention their
singer being picked as Revolver Magazine’s “Hottest Chick in Hard Rock”. Their music may
have grabbed your attention over the airwaves on accredited radio stations like 103.9 THE
FOX, 107.5 THE ROCK, 92.9 THE X, 95 WIIL ROCK, 105.5 THE KAT and 97.3 THE ROCK.
This Chicago-based female-fronted Rock band is no stranger to hard work. Phosphene
debuted as a band 2 years ago at the HARD ROCK CAFÉ Chicago’s “Lollapalooza After Party”.
Soon after their debut, Phosphene released their first album while headlining the HOUSE OF
BLUES Chicago. But they didn’t stop there! Phosphene joined SNOCORE TOUR with THE
PRETTY RECKLESS, Revolver Magazine’s “Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock” Tour with LACUNA COIL
and SICK PUPPIES, ROCKFEST with JUDAS PRIEST and BREAKING BENJAMIN, “Naperville
Ribfest” with FOGHAT and GEORGE THOROGOOD and VANS WARPED TOUR in 2014 and 2015.
Their second album, released in March 2015, has won media attention from all over the world.
Still, there is more to this passionate Rock band than just killer performances and polished
music! Phosphene’s inspirational messages and connection to their fans are noteworthy
qualities that keep creating buzz in the music industry. It is no wonder why they are leading
the Illinois market with a support team of over 120,000 fans that grows daily.
