Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
This Christmas album thing is really overdone -- shit, even The Grinch himself, Bob Dylan is doing one -- so it's nice to see a jam band like String Cheese Incident taking their genre's longstanding Halloween traditions to the next level. Like Phish, Colorado's STI likes to play lots of covers at their Halloween shows (though not quite to the level of Phish and their musical costumes) and will release those officially starting today. Among the offerings are covers of The Beatles ("Come Together"), Beastie Boys ("No Sleep Till Brooklyn"), Grateful Dead ("Shakedown Street"), KC & The Sunshine Band ("Get Down Tonight"), and Phish ("The Wedge").
The 2 and 9 disc sets documenting their "Hulaween" shows are culled from several shows and are available pre-sale here. Click below for an Mp3 of the band covering Beck, though not at one of their Halloween shows.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
