Weird Phishes

Weird Phishes makes their Brooklyn Bowl debut! Don't miss an incredible celebration of Radiohead and Phish, reworked and mashed up in unbelievable ways. Featuring opening sets by Brooklyn's own Owls By Night and Sauce City. --- 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.” Formed in 2019, Weird Phishes solidified their place in the New England jam community, headlining performances in Boston, Burlington, Portland, and throughout the northeast/midwest. Weird Phishes made their post-covid return in 2021, headlining the inaugural Safe and Soundz festival, and kept busy before returning home for a performance at the legendary Paradise Rock Club in December 2022. The band had a busy 2023, trodding new ground with full album performances spanning multiple cities, debuting their fully reimagined rendition of "Kid A" Crystal Ballroom, a performance of "Ok Computer'' at Albany's Lark Hall, and a 2 hour long performance of “In Rainbows” in Cambridge, MA at The Middle East Downstairs to a nearly sold-out crowd at the end of the year.
