Phish is a popular music band which is famous for its gigs and harmonious music. The band has been their in the music scene for quite a while now. The band consists of Trey Anastasio, Mike Gordon, Jon Fishman and Page McConnell. They are considered to be the legends of music as they have contributed a lot in this field through their work.

The band was started in 1983 at the University of Vermont when four students Trey, Fish, Mike and Jeff started doing gigs at university campus and other areas.

They did not have enough resources but have the passion and love of music that became their guiding force. Their music sittings used to be totally rough and informal.

Indeed, their first official gig as Phish happened at their own university in a basement Hall where they used a hockey stick as a mic stand. Their first bar gig was upstairs at Nectar's in the same year.

Phish's first studio project was "The White Phish Tape that was recorded during their studies. In 1995, Page joined the band in some of the gigs and soon became a permanent Phish member. They also started doing gigs with other local bands.

Some of the places where Phish were found playing in those days include a frat bar Doolins, Springfest and in the streets of Europe. They were never interested in launching a proper musical debut as they were loved playing life.

However, they made a considerable improvement in the response to their live jigs; and not to forget their studies which were going side by side.

The Phish members graduated in 1987 and started giving full time to their music.The played at a lot of parties and performed for multiple-night stands at Nectars and some Goddard and UVM performances.

They also started recording demo at the end of that year in Euphoria Studios, Massachusetts. The year 1999 saw the Phish finishing recording of their demo named 'Junta'. The album used to be sold at shows.

Phish rose to little fame during the end of the decade when they started performing on a wider level. They did shows in New York, Maine, Boston and participated in the Rock and Roll Rumble at the Front.

One of the most interesting shows of those times was at Paradise, Boston where the Phish has to rent the value all by themselves.

The show was attended by 650 people including their friends who come all the way from Burlington by bus in order to give their support to Phish. They also held musical gigs at places like Providence, Syracuse, Baltimore and Philadelphia.

Meanwhile, they worked for more music and made some new tunes calling the album Lawn Boy that was released by an independent label Absolute A-Go-Go in September 1990.

Phish had one of the most rocking years of their musical career in 1990 with successful tours in many cites and nearly 150 live concerts. They covered every possible area including the west coast, the mid west, northeast and southeast. The album work continued side by side with Crimes of the Mind and A Picture of Nectar by Elektra.

Phish had its first Europe tour in 1992. They got tremendous response in all the concerts they played there that also proved their worth outside United States.They re-released two of their albums, The Lawn Boy and Junta and also worked with on their new album Rift produced by Barry Beckett.

The success galore for Phish continued throughout the nineties.They performed many sold out shows at various cities and countries and released super hit albums that include Hoist in 1994, "A Live One" in 1995, Billy Breathes is released in 1996, Slip Stitch and Pass in 1997 and The Story of the Ghost in 1998 .

Phish released their thirteenth album by the name of Farmhouse. They were also featured in the IMAX film "All Access Front Row" released in 2001. It featured Trey, B.B. King and The Roots performing "Rock Me Baby".

The Phish won several award for their live acts including Jammy Awards for best studio album of the year ("Farmhouse") and best show of the year (7/11/00 Deer Creek). Another treat for Phish's fans came in the form of "Live Phish."
