Phish is Back - Reunion 2009

Phish's Inception (1983) - Trey, majoring in philosophy, Fish, studying chemical engineering, and Mike, with a major in electrical engineering, are freshmen at the University of Vermont; Jeff Holdsworth, also an EE major, is a sophomore there. Trey hears Fish playing his drumkit from outside his dorm-room door. He also walks by Jeff's room and hears Jeff's '57 Les Paul (guitar). The three of them get together and Trey posts a sign: bass player needed. Mike answers the sign; they get together for a jam session, and Mike says, "Did I make it?" They practice in the dorm lounge and make a demo tape. The band plays a party in October and their first official gig as Phish in the basement of Slade Hall at UVM in November, 1984. They use a hockey stick as a mic stand, play "Proud Mary" twice, "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" once, and eventually are shut down so that a Michael Jackson tape can be played.

Phish Summer Tour 2009 Tourdates 

phish.com from the road

The Phish reunion is in full swing: The band just announced plans for a summer tour.

Phish disbanded five years ago with a grand goodbye concert in their home state of Vermont but announced last fall that they were getting back together for a trio of concerts starting March 6th.

The jam band's members said they would kick off a summer tour on New York's Long Island on June 4th.

Phish - a quartet of Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Mike Gordon and Jon Fishman - got its start in 1983. Their improvisational style and mix of different genres made them an enormously successful touring group with a cult-like following. They decided to call it quits in 2004 after fatigue and personal problems took a toll.

Fishman Rhythm Dress ("The Musical Suit") 

"in 2004 i made a dress for my friend jon fishman out of "sonic fabric", a textile woven from recycled audiocassette tape. for the project jon lent me his entire tape collection, and i went about sampling snippets of his favorite stuff: sun ra, zeppelin, hendrix, prince, etc. from this collection of samples i made a 4 layer deep collage, which i recorded onto reels of tape before weaving the fabric from which i made the dress. sonic fabric is made audible by running a tape head along its surface. for this show, jon was fitted with a special pair of tape head gloves. since jon and i both seemed to have a thing for orange doughnuts, i made the "musical suit" an exact replica of the dress he traditionally wore on stage. this video was provided by an anonymous fan (THANK YOU!!). for more information, please see my other websites, sonicfabric.com, alycesantoro.com, and improbableprojects.com"
