Gamehenge 09 @ Monkeytown
100 sound artists came together to re-interpret Phish’s Gamehenge into Gamehenge 09, and are presenting the album tonight at Monkeytown. Backed by live visuals by Greg Zinman, the show will present the mythic story of Wilson, the Lizards and the Helping Phriendly Book in a very psychedelic alternative electro/noise universe.
I’ll let Monkeytown explain the rest:
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.
