We're excited to announce a brand new full-album performance experience in our hometown, complete with another WPTBM presale, happening now.
It’s been a long time since we did a full album set (let alone a full album debut) and we couldn’t be more excited to share our rendition of Radiohead’s “The Bends” with you all for the first time at The Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge, MA. Equal parts 90s-guitar-rock and sensitive-soft-side, we’ll be running every song through the Weird Phishes filter, bringing full rearrangements, unexpected mashups, and crunchy, danceable jams in the style of Phish. We have never been a tribute band that performs note-for-note renditions of classic records. Instead, we strive to find completely new emotion in existing works by merging the melancholy rock of Radiohead with the spirit, humor, and jams of Phish - two artists from completely different sides of the coin.
Each time we debut a full-album rendition we do our best to capture the spirit of the album, while simultaneously leaving nothing as it was. The melodies and lyrics will all be familiar, but the energy will be new and unexpected. We believe this makes for one of the most unique live music experiences possible. Even though the songs aren’t ours, the music is - and we’re excited to share it with you.
This show marks the return of our hometown WPTBM tradition - Weird Phishes Tickets By Mail.
