Phish RIP

Grateful Dead clones Phish are breaking up after the release of their next album. Better known to many people in the UK as the inspiration for Ben & Jerrys Phish Food ice-cream, since both the ice cream company and the band were from the state of Vermont and shared a similar tie-died outlook on life and social responsibility. Phish made their name as a touring band (like Dave Matthews or The Dead).

More details of the break-up can be found at the New York Times and the Phish website.
