Gamehenge Revival in Brooklyn

Currently the band Phish is recording an album in an unidentified "fun city" (New York?) before they head out on the Most Important Reunion Tour of Our Time. Tonight, however, something related to the band is going down at Brooklyn's Monkeytown, and it's called Gamehenge. For those who don't know, Gamehenge was frontman Trey Anastasio's senior thesis at Goddard College (you can read it here, though we suggest listening to it). But what exactly is going down at Monkeytown tonight?

In the spirit of experimentation, collaboration and fun, 100 sound artists have re-interpreted Phish's coveted Gamehendge album to create Gamehenge '09! This is a kaleidoscopic joyride through bizarre sound demi-genres.

Whether you are a Phish fan or not, they have become a ritualistic-psychedelic necessity for a distinct and vast niche of the American people. The massive collection of new artists featured on Gamehenge 09 offer a refreshing vantage point from which to reconsider Phish's psychedelic music tradition and to shed light on possible future avenues. The point of this release is to breath new, forceful vision into this modern piece of Americana mythology.
