  1. Grand Theft Bus will be in the studio this weekend in Fredericton N.B working on their 4th studio album. You can listen to / download their other 3 albums here: http://grandtheftbus.bandcamp.com/ Enjoy
  2. DEXTER - easily one of the best series of all time start with season 1 and enjoy the ride !
  3. Sorry, I dont think so. That is laughable | We just got back from 3 nights a the greek. They were on fire. Trey introduced his new guitar made by Paul Languedoc, made by a piece of magic wood. He told us how very very excited he was to be playing the new guitar. It sounds so good. Trey played with precision and with fury at times. He is possessed for sure. Of the 3 nights the second was probably my favorite. It was like "WOW" almost after every song. After seeing phish as many times as we have it is still hard to believe they do some of the shit they do. We danced hard. Listen to the Cities from the second night, they were so dialed in. Mike was dropping bombs like he wanted to start a war. He actually dropped a Nuclear bomb on the first night. Hope it is on the recordings. MVP of the weekend would be fishman, we watched him intently all weekend. I could not believe the beats he was laying down, many times leading the band. He was such a pleasure to watch. Best live show touring today - easy !
  4. I just got our tickets today for their Vancouver show. I saw them last year and it was super awesome ! Stoked
  5. speaking of Phish- the last Canada-USA game they played Phish a couple of times - Kill Devil Falls and Axilla for sure. Listen carefully !
  6. [color:blue]Thank you very much ! [color:green]We had the time of our lives that night.
  7. Also looks like Grand Theft Bus will be playing on Granville Island on Feb 13.

    [color:green]Leaving in 72 hours We are very excited. Super Party Time !
  9. phish.com GOING TO CALIFORNIA Team Phish has spent much time in the Coachella Valley as of late, so much that folks in Indio have been referring to the Empire Polo Club as "Little Vermont." They also call raisins "sun grapes," which is just weird. Seriously though, within the next week, the planning and mapmaking and drawing of the past several months gives way to building and transforming the site, at last, into Festival 8. Back on the East Coast, the band is deep in rehearsals; working on the Halloween Set, as well as the Acoustic set planned for Sunday morning at the festival. While there are far too many great elements in the works for the festival to share in this space, we'll highlight a few of them here: THE OVERLOOK + THE COIL Right at the entrance to the concert field is an elevated area partially covered by spectacular Olympic Peak Tents that looks out onto the lush concert field. Here at the Overlook you'll get the chance to enjoy a particularly bloody mary at the Bloody Mary Bar, a movie area showing vintage Halloween classics, archival Phish video, (not to mention The World Series and NFL games), a massive 100 foot Ferris Wheel and an internet cafe (though wi-fi will be provided throughout the site). The Overlook will be opened from 8 am to 2 am each day of the festival, and will also be open Thursday, October 29, beginning after Soundcheck. Between The Overlook and the stage you'll find The Coil, a large swirled structure where Festival 8 turns and returns, host to multiple art installations and interactive works galore. When the sun goes down, look on the outskirts of The Coil for an explosive group of fire artists bringing the HEAT (that has TWO meanings!). THE HOUSE OF LIVE PHISH It's back for Festival 8 with a nice twist. Get out of the heat, the House Of Live Phish will be air conditioned! Think you can do a better job mixing Phish? The House will feature mix-your-own-track stations complete with skilled instructors from ProMedia, and you'll be able to re-mix tracks from this Summer's Tour while drinking a Shasta (Wait, scratch that last part -- Shasta's just pulled out). Final racks will be uploaded to a blog at livephish.com for everyone's listening pleasure. Also, everyone who visits the House of Live Phish will receive a free card redeemable for a Live Phish Summer 09 Sampler. Download and burn your own sampler onto CD using a Mac from our buddies at Small Dog Electronics in Vermont, or just enjoy listening to any of the songs at LivePhish.com on a Sonos listening station. We're also making each show from the weekend available on slotMusic micro SD cards, so that you can grab them on your way out of the concert field and listen back right away. Each card comes with a USB sleeve ensuring interoperability with all computers as well a microSD-enabled mobile phones and MP3 players. Listen to the concert on your way back to your campsite (you will never not be listening to Phish. Get used to it). Stop by the Phish Dry Goods tent for more details. BEER! CERVEZA! BIER! BIERE! PIVO! BIR! It seems a little silly to tout that there will be beer for sale at Festival 8. Worthy of mention is there will be over 50 different kinds of beer for sale - microbrews, 'beers of the world', Pabst Blue Ribbon, and our friends at Sierra Nevada have brewed a special pilsner exclusively available at Festival 8 called FOAM. KURODA KNOWS HOW TO LIGHT A PALM OR TWO OR THREE In addition to his usual duties behind the console, lighting designer Chris Kuroda is overseeing lighting throughout the site - at the entrances, in The Overlook, on the field. You'll never see a more stunning collection of 140 lit palm trees. That's the Kuroda Promise. THE RETURN OF THE BUNNY 95.9 FM Like a zombie in need of nourishing brains, The Bunny is back! Once again, we'll be hopping around all weekend in a little trailer behind the stage, dishing out large quantities of killer music, up-to-the-minute traffic reports, festival updates, insightful interviews from the field, a dangerous triple session of Phish archivist Kevin Shapiro's "From the Archives" shows, frightening late-night freak outs, subliminal messages, Dr. Demento outtakes, sound effects of doors closing, classic Jerky Boys tracks, white noise, Civil War dirges, Jewish fight songs, and of course, live broadcasts of all 8 Phish sets! If you get lost in The Coil or tied up at the Overlook Hotel, have no fear: The Bunny will be there for you, airing 24 hours a day beginning Thursday, October 29 at 10 AM right on through until Monday, November 2 at 10 AM. Now, if you happen to tune in before or after these times and hear a rock-block of Billy Joel, don't be afraid: that's just JACK-FM, the rock station we'll be hijacking for the weekend. So be prepared: bring a boombox! Let The Bunny feed (on) your brain. EIGHTH ANNUAL SCENT OF A MULE HORSESHOE TOURNAMENT Got your costume picked out, tent packed, sunscreen, candy small beach towel and anti-grizzly spray ready to go? Well, how's your pitching arm? We're tickled to announce the Eighth Annual "Scent Of A Mule Horseshoe Pitching Tournament" at Festival 8. Located in the concert field, the horseshoe pitching courts will be open for practice swings on Friday with the tournament taking place on Saturday and Sunday. East Coast vs. West Coast. It's an easy sport to pick up so come and try your luck and get pointers from the good folks from the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association of America. COFFEE & DONUTS ACOUSTIC. I ATE. A team of physicists have been working on fusing two different spheres of doughy goodness into one coherent form that retains its integrity after an aqueuous sugar coating has been applied. That's right - those Sunday morning donuts will be commemoratively shaped in a figure eight, and glazed. We did it, America! FESTIVAL CERTIFIED FARMER'S MARKET On Friday, Saturday and Sunday we'll dish out a Certified Farmer's Market (meaning that all the farmers participating have certification that their produce is in fact grown in California) that will feature organic and transitional produce, honey, cheese, eggs, bread, pumpkins, wheatgrass, fresh cut flowers, nuts, and California-grown olive oil. You haven't lived until you've tried certified, California-grown wheatgrass - let me tell you! Organic coffee, breakfast, and lunch will be available at the cafe located adjacent to the Farmer's Market at the El Dorado Clubhouse. TICKETS ON SALE NOW Tickets for Festival 8 are on sale now at http://places.musictoday.com/festival8/.

  17. from phish.com IN MEMORIAM KRISTY MANNING 04.29.09 Earlier this afternoon, Kristy Manning, Trey's sister, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. She was one of Phish's first fans and biggest supporters. In recent years, Kristy helped form and lead Trey's non-profit endeavor, The Seven Below Arts Initiative. Kristy was a loving sister, mother, daughter, friend, and a role model for all. Her positive attitude, strength of character and continued outpouring of love and support left a profound impact on everyone she knew. She will truly be missed.
  18. We had a great time Second set was off the hook imo. Eyes of the World was the hightlight of the show. Everyone was really friendly, shakedown was a hoot. Balloons were $5.00. No cops anywhere. A few pics:
  19. Will be there also. Coming from Vancouver and meeting up with some chaps from the maritimes in Toronto. Going to be a blast Can't wait !
  20. Many people stay in Ellensburg. I believe it is the closest town. There still may be rooms available. http://www.ellensburg-chamber.com/businesses/lodging.asp
  21. Just got my e-mail ! In for 2 nights a the Gorge I cant believe I am going to see phish again
  22. AT YOUR REQUEST Hello everyone. As a way to give back to our faithful listeners, we here at GTB headquarters have decided to open up a request line for people to vote on old tunes that they would like us to dig out of the vault. We are well aware of the fact that some of our old songs don't see the light of day anymore and that a lot of your Freebird-style shout outs at shows don't get fulfilled 99% of the time....sooo... now is your chance to be heard!! How it works... Simply send your song request (one song only, and please only vote once!!) to grandtheftbussetlist@gmail.com. On April 1st the request line will be closed and we will then pull the 5 songs that get the most votes kicking and screaming back to life! (some of them may be given a tummytuck or a facelift to make them more presentable to you No, we will not be posting the results! You have to come to the shows to hear them! We will sprinkle them randomnly into our sets as we see fit to keep you on your toes. Please don't be disappointed if you don't hear your request; the top 5 requests get played and that's that so suck it up!! Anyways, the request line is now open so get voting! This should be a really fun excercise for us as a band and a way for us to have some good ol' fashioned trainwrecks in front of all y'all. Good luck and thanks so much for participating!!! Hope to see you at the shows! Requestfully yours, - Grand Theft Bus http://www.grandtheftbus.com/
