Boulder, CO (PRWEB) July 16, 2006 -- With no more Phish shows to attend, fans can satisfy their live Phish deprivation with PHIX. This summer brings the acclaimed Phish tribute band, PHIX, on a busy cross-country tour that moves them through the Midwest and across to both coasts between now and late September.

Directly inspired by the music and philosophies of Phish, the members of PHIX have been profoundly influenced both musically and as human beings by these jam-band rock royalty.

Fans will be pleasantly surprised by how well-honed PHIX has become in their ability to play Phish’s repertoire, but also how they have captured and recreated the intimate spirit of a live Phish show. With an open approach toward the music of Phish, PHIX maintains an inherent playfulness in each show by never playing any song the same way twice and keeping everything fresh.

In true Phish style, PHIX’s primary focus is on live shows and testing the outer limits of improvisation through live jam sessions. Also in traditional dead-head style is the band’s open-recording policy, where fans are invited to record (audio or video) any of their live performances.
