Phish Reunites at Brad Sands’ Wedding!

Developing story here… I've just received word that there was a full Phish reunion at the wedding of Brad Sands and Mariel Speier tonight, at Midtown Loft and Terrace in New York City.

It sucked compared to SCI's future reunion.*
― Michael Kang

The foursome reunited for three songs — Julius, Suzy Greenberg, and Waste — just 1,483 days since they called it quits at Coventry.

Brad Sands is the band's longtime road manager, forever immortalized in Bittersweet Motel when why Trey tells him, “kiss my ass you fuckin' tool.” And hey, there's still a few things on Mariel and Brad's wedding registry so if you're feeling generous, you know what to do.

Scroll down for video, pictures, and other coverage of the Phish reunion at Brad Sands' wedding.

* Just kidding. Props to andyctree for this joke.

Update (October 1, 2008): It's official! Very early this morning the Phish Reunion in Hampton was announced, with the band slated to play March 6-8 at the Hampton Coliseum! See you there.

Hardly a “reunion”....but rather a “hey, do you think the wedding band would mind if we played a couple songs for Brad and Mariel? Hey....grab me another beer while you’re at the bar”.

Michael Kang can go to highest building and jump off. I have seen String Cheese Incident quite a few times and while it was entertaining, it was not because of a little short Nazi by the name of Michael Kang who has a napoleon complex. I don’t care if the comment was said in jest or not. That guy needs a reality check.

@junga: Just to clarify, it wasn’t a comment that Kang made at all, in jest or otherwise. It was a joke made by a third party who attributed the comment to Kang. Oh, and lighten up a bit. That’s some pretty hateful language, even if you were trying to be hyperbolic.
