That's When I Handed It To Liz

"For the first time ever, Phish real music ring tones and ringback tones are available to millions of the loyal followers the band has attained throughout over 20 years of touring.

Beginning today, the band's mobile content will be available exclusively through Verizon Wireless for a limited time of four weeks on Verizon's digital storefronts including VZW Tones Deluxe application on Get It Now-enabled phones and www.verizonwireless.com/music. Verizon Wireless customers can also text "PHISH" to 8913 to purchase a selection of LivePhishRingtones straight from their phones.

The first batch of ring tones and ringbacks come from the extensive online Live Phish catalog at LivePhish.com, culled from classics such as 12/29/97 (c'mon, who can resist that "Tube"?), 11/14/95, 12/01/95, Colorado '88, and The White Tape. Ring tones and ringbacks include fan favorites like "Fluffhead", "AC/DC Bag", "Cars, Trucks, Buses", "Run Like An Antelope", "Golgi Apparatus" and many more.

"Our fans have been requesting that we make ring tones available," says Page McConnell. "Because we retained ownership of our live concerts and music catalog we've been able to keep up with the technology of distribution. We were the first band to make live concerts immediately available for download and we're very excited now to be moving into mobile distribution of our live content."

Beginning May 18th, 2007, all content will be made available at RingToneJukebox.com and all major phone carriers. More details will follow. To browse the ringtones currently being offered, please click here."
