Trey Anastasio Writing New Music, May Go Unplugged and Likes Paramore
. Gibson reports: Having just come off the road with Phish after a successful summer tour, Trey Anastasio has every right to take a knee and get a little breather before the band hits the road again in October. But resting doesn't seem to be in the plans for Anastasio, who is already writing new material with an eye on testing it live in the near future. "I'm trying to write songs that work for both (Phish and TAB)," Anastasio told Relix. "Or I'm actually thinking, after this run of Phish shows, of maybe doing a couple of very, very small sort of acoustic shows. And I was just thinking this morning that I'm trying to get songs that work in every context." As for inspiration, Phish fans may be surprised to hear what has caught Anastasio's ear recently: "My younger daughter got into Paramore and she took me to the Paramore concert at Webster Hall and I thought it was an incredible concert. I really liked the whole band. I loved the drummer and I thought the band was tight, the guitar players are tight and obviously the singer's just fantastic. You know, I never would have gone to see those guys if my daughter wasn't into it. I can see the world through their eyes a little bit, it's exciting." -
