"Video remix producers/DJs Eclectic Method are the creators of the
secret intro video to the “musical costume” second set of Phish’s 2009 Halloween performance
in Indio, CA. Taking Phish’s brilliant viral “99 Albums” online promotion to the next level, the
London born/Brooklyn-based trio sourced and remixed content from all 99 albums, and remixed
them into a single, profound, beat-driven AV collage, screened just before the band took the
stage to perform the coveted “last record left alive.”
To promote Festival 8, Phish created an online viral campaign to drive buzz and speculation as to
what record the band will play as a “musical costume” on Halloween, a Phish tradition dating
back 15 years. The campaign consisted of 99 of the most reputed and buzz-worthy potential
“costumes,” hosted online in an interactive, scrolling landscape of ornately-framed records. From
Zeppelin to Zappa, Hendrix to Bowie, one by one, each album gets “axed”--literally--until one
final record is left standing. It was known to the fans that THIS is the album that Phish will
recreate live on stage Halloween night."
