Weird Phishes – Performing Radiohead’s ‘In Rainbows’ in the style of Phish
December 9, 2023 @ 8:00 pm - 11:30 pm
$13.01
Weird Phishes is excited to make their second appearance in Albany, this time including a fully reimagined album performance of Radiohead’s “In Rainbows.”
Weird Phishes is exactly what it sounds like – the iconic melancholy rock songs of Radiohead completely reborn as danceable, crunchy jams. With full-album performances, unexpected mashups, and gluey funk-driven improvisation, their jam-heavy take on alt-rock classics has sparked an unexpected energy in audiences across the northeast. Cleverly avoiding the “tribute” trope, Weird Phishes continues to push the envelope of what a mashup band can be, delivering performances that need to be experienced in order to believe.
A quick glance at the band’s social media gives a glimpse into why this unlikely mashup proves worthwhile. “Bought tickets on a whim because I love both bands, had wanted to check out the club, and thought it would be amusing. I was not expecting such incredible musicianship and thought that had gone into their set…it was one of the best shows I’ve seen in years.” Said one user. “Clean, creative mashups of a favorite album and great Phish selections. Great energy.” says another. “Impossibly excellent show.”
The band made its post-covid return with a headlining performance at the inaugural Safe and Soundz festival, sold-out shows at Boston’s Aeronaut Cannery, and a performance at the legendary Paradise Rock Club. In February 2023, the band trod new ground with full album performances spanning multiple cities, debuting their fully reimagined “Kid A” at Boston’s Crystal Ballroom, a performance of “Ok Computer” at Albany’s Lark Hall.
