https://phoenixchroi.bandcamp.com/track/beaches Phoenix Chroi was formed from the ashes of the IPO Mob, an East London post punk band. Joe Buck - a successful 70's session musician for Recession Recordings, whose clientèle included The Clash, Madness, The Dammed, and the Pogues; and Elaine McGinty - an Irish singer songwriter, continued writing as a duo. The pair worked on other musical projects, infusing different cultural influences, and brought in musicians to collaborate and work with.
Since then, Darren Patoto and Graeme Reeves have been enlisted to complete the line-up and help push Phoenix Chroi forward.
Phoenix Chroi have been gigging extensively throughout 2014/15, playing with prestigious acts such as: Richie Ramone, The Avengers, and Menace, as well as various punk rock festivals. Their first album "Songs from the Last Five Years" was released during this time. The band continue to play regular shows in 2016 and are preparing to release a second album by the end of the year.
