About Phish
Like the Grateful Dead before them, Phish have established an
impressive reputation of tireless touring, dazzling improvisation and
innovative rock 'n' roll.
Assembled at the University of Vermont by guitarists Trey Anastasio
III and Jeff Holdsworth in 1983, Phish had ambitious musical
intentions from the start. Intent on pursuing a complicated,
improvisatory musical style, Holdsworth and Anastasio recruited
dexterous freshman drummer Jon Fishman and formally trained bass
player Mike Gordon. The band's first gig took place at an ROTC dance
in 1983, though their errant set list and bad wardrobe were quickly
replaced by a radio. In 1985, Fishman and Anastasio left UVM for the
liberal Goddard College, where they continued their studies and
refined their ambitious sound. They continued as a five-piece (with
keyboardist Page McConnell) until Holdsworth decided to leave in 1986,
leaving a hole that forced the band to search for an alternative sound
and vision.

In 1988, Phish released Junta on their own to sell at shows. The
next year, they wrote and recorded Lawn Boy for Rough Trade affiliate
Absolute A Go Go Records, but Rough Trade went bankrupt and the band
couldn't afford to assume distribution, despite the fact that they
were fast gaining a devoted following. In 1991, Phish became the first
band without a recording contract ever to sell out two consecutive
nights at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. In light of
that achievement, Elektra signed the outfit, released their third
album, A Picture Of Nectar and reissued their first two. It didn't
take long for the band to develop a reputation similar to the Grateful
Dead's: as a terrific live act, and a mediocre recording band.
Appropriately, in 1995, after a few dismal-selling albums, the band
came out with A Live One, with songs drawn from the band's recent
tour. During the subsequent tour, the band grossed over $27 million.
One date on that tour--Halloween, no less--featured the band playing
the entirety of Quadrophenia. (The White Album and Talking Heads'
Remain In Light have also gotten the full Phish treatment at Halloween
shows.) Also in 1995, Anastasio released Surrender To The Air, an
entirely improvised performance featuring members of Sun Ra's band and
New York guitarist Marc Ribot.
In 1996, Phish finally released a worthwhile album. By all critical
counts, Billy Breathes is Phish's most creatively successful, merging
the band's eclectic influences with accessible pop smarts. The upward
trend continued with 1998's The Story of the Ghost, a fine album
consisting largely of songs pieced together from spontaneous studio
jams.
