  • 15! Phish—Comprised of Trey Anastasio on Guitar and Lead Vocals
    Phish—comprised of Trey Anastasio on guitar and lead vocals; Mike Gordon on bass and vocals; Page McConnell on piano, keyboards, and vocals; and Jon “Fish” Fishman on drums and vocals—formed at the University of Vermont (UVM) in the early ‘80s and became one of the most successful rock bands ever. Their success story is built upon a rare combination of raw talent, strategic business acumen, and various moments of rock and roll serendipity. An abbreviated synopsis of Phish’s formation helps to place their trajectory and subsequent press coverage in context. Recognized as the first Phish gig, Anastasio, Gordon, Fishman, and brief member Jeff Holdsworth played as Blackwood Convention at a UVM cafeteria on December 2, 1983. In late 1984, they adopted the name Phish, reportedly in homage to Fishman. Through this period in the early-‘80s they were also joined by brief member Marc “Daubs” Daubert on percussion and occasional guest Steve Pollack, “The Dude of Life.” In May, 1985, nearby Goddard College student Page McConnell joined the band for the first concert collaboration of what would eventually become the four constant Phish members. McConnell was invited to join the band permanently in September that year. In spring of 1986, Holdsworth graduated from UVM and left the band. With the departure of Holdsworth, Phish’s current four-member lineup emerged (Mockingbird, 2004, p. 5). Gehr (1998) explained that “Phish had covered several Dead tunes during their first couple of years together but soon dropped them to avoid the onus of being pigeonholed as yet another Dead cover band” (p.

    !1" Moskovitz:"Phish"Fan"Research"Paper/Spring"2015" Birds of a Feather: Phish Fans as an Information Community Submitted by Amy S. Moskovitz LIBR 200-12: Information Communities Dr. Michael Stevens April 29, 2015 Abstract Fans of the band Phish are a large and unique community requiring information and social connectedness to thrive. By examining and evaluating scholarly literature on information communities, music fans, Phish and Phish fans, as well as popular, fan-generated sources and informal conversations with fans, this research paper serves to create a comprehensive overview of this community. It focuses on their information needs, practices and preferences and their !2" Moskovitz:"Phish"Fan"Research"Paper/Spring"2015" information seeking behavior. The author finds that Phish fans seek information on a variety of topics related to their fandom and do so mostly via internet-based and user-generated websites and social networking. The research reveals that this information community values social interaction as well as technology and often exploits both to reinforce and satisfy their information goals and social bonds. The author also critically analyzes the findings and resources available to the Phish fan community and provides suggestions for information professionals on how to better assist this community with their information needs." Introduction “Birds of a feather are flocking outside.” –Phish Birds of a Feather (Phish, 1998) The phrase “birds of a feather flock together” is a fitting metaphor for music fans and information communities. Fisher and Durrance (2003) define an information community as a group that forms around a specific need for information. Music fans are not a new type of information community.
