Phix started back in the late summer of 2001 while the immensely popular band Phish was on an indefinite hiatus from performing. After an overwhelming initial response playing Phish tribute shows in their home state of Colorado, Phix hit the road and soon had criss-crossed the country several times over, gaining new fans at every stop. Through consistent national touring Phix kept gaining momentum even after Phish came back from their hiatus at the end of 2002, and even more so after they broke up for good in '04. Now, after almost 500 shows in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, and playing their own farewell shows in Colorado this past summer, Phix is pleased to be playing a special show together at Big Cypress for Langerado.
 
By the time Phix stopped touring folks had really begun taking notice at how versatile they had become in working with Phish's repertoire. Often incorporating songs that Phish had long put to rest, Phix's setlists read like a who's-who in celebrated Phish songs. By adding their own personalities to the composed material, Phix maintains an inherent mischievousness in each show by never playing any song the same way twice.
 
Not only has the band raised eyebrows with Phish's fans, they've also inspired curiosity with Phish's members. At least two members of Phish have come to see Phix when they've been out on the road performing. Mike Gordon (twice) and Page McConnell, Phish's bassist and keyboardist, respectively, have both come to check out Phix and have expressed their approval. Phix has also held several benefits for the Mockingbird Foundation, a charitable organization that was founded, and is run by, devoted Phish fans.
