[Watch] Phoenix - "Entertainment" (Homemade Performance Video)

Phoenix may have already let loose the official video for "Entertainment" but they must of been feeling generous as today they've offered up a live performance homemade clip as well. Isn't that nice? Seen above, it shows the band sat in front of a green screen blasting out a nice acoustic performance of the track which for me has been a true grower. When I first heard it in February I was not feeling it at all. Fast forward to April and I love it. Time heals all I guess.

If you enjoy the video, including a cameo from a dog, maybe you'd like to pick up their forthcoming album Bankrupt! which comes out on April 23rd?

[Watch] Phoenix Perform "Entertainment" Live for QTV

Phoenix give their Bankrupt! lead single "Entertainment" the live treatment, stopping by Canada's QTV to do a stripped down rendition of the song. It sounds pretty fantastic, but the only one that really looks into it is guitarist Christian Mazzalai. Hopefully they bring more excitement during their upcoming tour (see the full schedule after the jump). Check out the live performance below.
