Go Phish in the Ballroom

Thi \ 're back
That band will) tin: unique
name, the unique style and eer
tainly the unique show has re
turned [or a performance in the
i.MU Ballroom Thursday at
Ball) p m
1‘hlsh, who made its last ap
pearance in hugene at WOW
Hall to a sold-out crowd, has
be. ome known not onh for its
wonderfully multi-faceted mu
sit, but its uncanny onstage
performance
l)es> ribed as almost carnival
like, i’hish breaks all the rules
by employing the use of tram
polines and carefully t railed
acrobatic s while playing gui
tars.
As additionally acrobatic as
the band's onstage hi jinks is the
music, whit li has been tie
scribed as rot k and roll w ith
heavy jazz influences, reggae
and calypso tinges and a touch
of hard hitting funk or some
combination thereof
"The hand writes composi
tions that juxtapose different
styles in ways you wouldn't ex
pect," said I’hish manager John
I’aluska
'i'he band lias claimed infill
enccs from Frank Zappa. Duke
Ellington, Lori Zepplin and igor
Stravinsky
But what kind of style might
one rail the lowdown sound of
a vacuum cleaner?
Yus, it scums that drummer
|on Fishman von turns out from
behind his drums and express
es himself in truly a moving
fashion with trombone and
vacuum cleaner solos.
Now that's talent.
Flush spawns from the wa
ters of Burlington, Vt., and has
traveled up and down the East
ern musical stream, gaining a
following from many of the
Eastern colleges and universi
ties Only recently has the hand
gained wider popularity on the
West Coast in places like San
Francisco, Santa Cruz and hurt;
in Eugene.
"The hand's audience is a bit
more homogeneous now than
we hope for in a year from
now,” said Paluskn.
Dialogue is currently under
way with a major record label
for a possible contract. And
that agreement < ould ultimately
lead to more widespread expo
sure.
So, before Flush goes out into
the mainstream (get it/), the
hand br< kens everyone to cast
an ear out for their sound.
