Thug Lot Mug Shots: Mad Fools Get Arrested @ Phish Hampton Shows

The title of this post pretty much explains it all.  Of course, if the recent Phish reunion shows were held on the West Coast, I would have titled it “Hella fools get arrested…”  Thousands of excited concert goers arrive in Hampton, VA to see their favorite 4-piece throw down the crazy funk jams that they’ve been dreaming of for the last 5 years, only to be fucked with imercifully by the local Po-Po.  You may have heard about this on various websites or even on your local TV news, but I’m calling bullshit on many of these reports and the operation as a whole. I’m also going to tell you exactly why. Read the rest of this entry →

Phish announces Free Hampton Downloads and Setlist

March 6, 2009 in Music, The Web

If you’re like me, then you live on the West Coast, have created some semblance of a life for yourself since Aug. of 2004, and, when Phish announced that their reunion would again start with a run in Hampton, VA and remain on the Eastern portion of the country you thought, “Fuck this.  I’ll just wait for them to come to me this time“.  If you’re like me, then the idea of Phish performing at Bonnaroo is a bit confusing and you foresee the possible issue’s with trying to cram everyone and their baby’s mama’s cousin, who went to the festival to see The Decemberists or The Yeah Yeah Yeahs but feels that they should “probably see Phish” into a relatively small area, that is not equipped to deal with the crowd’s size or varying attitudes.  If you’re like me, you’re 3 fourths apathetic and 1 fourth not so secretly bitter and envious.  This is why, if you are like me, the band’s latest announcement to give away free downloads of the 3 night Hampton performances is pretty awesome.

Hampton Resuscitated: PHISH Reunion Announced!

October 1, 2008 in Music, With Video

This video just popped up on Phish.com and Youtube today.  Phish has finally announced their reunion to take place at Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia on March 6, 7 and 8, 2009.  Obviously, Hampton has been one of the more popular venues for the band to perform at over the years.  If you have never been to a show at Hampton or seen a photo of the venue,  it looks it looks somewhat like an extra-terrestrial space craft, complete with alternating multi-color lights.  If it’s anything like the last time I saw the guys perform out there, you can get a slew of velour hoodlum gear just blocks away from the venue in shopping centers that house a TJ MAX, ROSS, and a MARSHALLS (that’s right all 3)!  Get your budget gangsta on and pop down to the lot.

Of course, this was only a matter of time and more tour dates will be announced shortly.  It appears that there will be a summer tour which will end with another classic festival in the North East.
For now, there is a week long ticket request lottery that closes on the 8th.  You can attempt to purchase some by clicking here.

Tickets open to the rest of the public on the 10th.

Good luck ya’lls!
