4 DAYS TILL BONNAROO

 

AHH!! 4 DAYS?!! This is insane. Today’s feature artist is Phish:

“Founded in Burlington, VT in 1983, Phish has since established itself as one of the most adventurous bands of our era, with a passion for exploration that permeates all of its endeavors – from its genre-busting blend of musical styles and trailblazing approach to the live music experience to its creative packaging and inventive methods for connecting with fans…

‘Phish offers something rare in pop: a long, complex, and completely different show every night,’ said the Village Voice while SPIN praised the band’s ‘epic, musically adventurous shows.’ Its Halloween concerts, which feature Phish donning a ‘musical costume’ and covering a classic album by another band, are legendary as are its New Year’s Eve shows. And every concert is made available as a download via LivePhish.com.” (from Bonnaroo website description of band)
