   About PHIX

It all boils down to this: PHISH has given us some of the most powerful and creative music that our generation has seen. PHIX is made up of four musicians in Colorado who have been profoundly inspired by their music, not only as musicians, but as human beings. Rather than trying to imitate the original (as is typically the case with tribute bands), Phix attempts, in our own humble way, to recreate the special energy and spontaneity of a live Phish concert.

Phix is not Phish. Obviously, it would be impossible for a tribute band to capture the unique, quirky personality of this band that has been so important to so many people, including ourselves. We do not look like them; we do not imitate them Vegas-style (although our drummer has been known to wear a mumu and goggles around the house). We try to play the songs accurately, of course (even the hard ones), but most importantly we try to capture the spirit in which the music is intended, which we believe is for it to sound fresh and unique every time it is played. Phish's songs are masterfully created with that in mind--they provide a springboard for improvisation and exploration that can lead the band into fresh territory night after night. This is true of all great music, from Beethoven symphonies to Miles Davis standards--the music sounds fresh every time because there is space for each performer to be individually creative and expressive within it.

All of us who have experienced Phish know that what lies at the heart of it all is the incredible amount of energy that is exchanged between the band and the audience at a live show. And that's the true goal of Phix--to try our best to recreate that energy so that we can share it with audiences who are clearly thirsting for it. While we would never claim to be able to truly recreate the original, we do think we can bring a respectable version of it into intimate settings at a time when live Phish shows are no longer available.

Phix started playing in 2001 and toured nationally from 2002-2007, culminating at the CoveRtry festival on August 4th and 5th, 2007 at State Bridge, CO. After a brief "hiatus" Phix re-emerged at the 2008 Langerado Festival at Big Cypress Indian Reservation in Florida. Shortly after that they played their 500th show in their home town of Boulder, CO. Although the band no longer tours, they will be available for special events and festivals around the globe for the forseeable future. It has been a truly amazing experience for all of us. We have all become vastly better musicians since the band started, and we have all shared some powerful musical experiences at our shows. We want to thank all of the people who have been coming to our shows--we would not be doing this if it weren't for your support and enthusiasm. And most of all, we want to thank the guys in Phish for the universe of music that they have created. It has been a pleasure and a privilege for us to be able to share in the groove!
