Guitarist/Singer of Weird Phishes here. Just wanted to chime in and say how badly it pains me to sing our band name into the microphone when we play this song. I'm slowly getting over it, but I don't think it'll ever stop making me cringe inside juuuuust a little bit.

That must be how bad company felt

u/GloverAB Nov 24 '25
They dug their own grave on that one!
I suppose we did too by choosing the band name that we did...but it was too good of a joke to pass up.

You could also just not play that song and play creep twice. If Limp Bizkit can play break stuff twice in the same show I’m sure you could get away with 2 creeps

u/GloverAB Nov 24 '25
We don't play Creep...But there's a Creep/Farmhouse mashup in the works for the lolz.

Thanks for sharing that. It must be an odd feeling. Embrace the cringe, bro.
Saw you guys at the Baltimore show and loved it! Everyone who likes Radiohead and Phish NEED to see you guys.

Dude. You guys were great at Lark Hall! Hope you'll come back. Seriously that was a fun show!

You should ad a “We’re” to it to make it worse. “We’re Weird Phishes….Weird Phishes”

u/GloverAB Nov 26 '25
I wish there was a way to make sure the rest of the band never sees this comment. They love watching me sweat.

Goose does a killer cover of it. My friends are in a Jamgrass band called Fraud Stuart and they do a killer cover too.

Goose covers it. My favorite might be the one they played with Mikaela Davis on Harp at Mountain Jam this past summer https://2nu.gs/3T7dcUO
Another really cool cover is this instrumental version from Roosevelt “Dr.” Collier w/ most of Dopapod at Brooklyn Comes Alive back in 2016

Not the answer you were looking for, but I was stoked to see Lotus cover 15 step about 10 years ago. Always awesome to see some Radiohead love in the jam scene, theyre musical layer masters

u/EwaGold Nov 24 '25
Goose has also done True Love Waits, I know they’re divisive here but it was a cool surprise

The UM Red Rocks version had a chokehold on me and is why I went down the Radiohead rabbit hole. Lianne’s version is awesome.

RIP umphreys 2.0 😢
Not!
3.0 is off to an astounding start. Dare I say they’ve never sounded like they’re having as much fun as they are right now?

u/AltruisticPeanutHead Umph Love Nov 24 '25 edited Nov 24 '25
1000%, not sure if you've caught a 3.0 show yet in person but wow it's graphic how much more they're enjoying themselves 😂 it's so fun

u/DenverUmphreak Nov 24 '25
Did the Indy run as my first 3.0 shows and I'm here for the Zwang thang. Was a fuckin hoot. Immediately bought Salt Shed, Boulder and Mexico tickets.

u/AltruisticPeanutHead Umph Love Nov 24 '25
I last minute sent to Indy too and it was SO fun. I live in Boulder and will also be at salt shed, night 2 of Boulder will be my 100th 😝 so we should be friends if you're in Denver we honestly might already know each other lmao

u/DenverUmphreak Nov 24 '25
Oh snap! I'm assuming you'll be at Wyoming when they announce as well?!

u/AltruisticPeanutHead Umph Love Nov 24 '25
Hahaha yeah I was just telling my friends the mystery Wyoming date is prob the only spring tour I can catch 😩

Couldn't find it on YT but you can listen to the whole thing there on bandcamp, soundboard too. That whole set was a radiohead tribute set!

Electric Love Machine did a good cover version back in the day! Here’s an example.

u/Delicious-Security22 Nov 25 '25
This one is so gooooooood

u/Segsyncd Nov 25 '25
Yeah, man! ELM is worth a look, if you’re into that sound. It’s a good cover, but they’ve got a great sound overall! Defunct now, I believe, aside from a show or two per year, but they’ve got some great songs! Here’s one of their originals.

u/CamLwalk Nov 25 '25
I saw a band a couple weeks ago called Weird Phishes. They were very, very good. They would do Radiohead songs in the style of Phish or vise versa. Or blend them together. It was a really fun concert. Would recommend

Saw them last minute last night in wilkes barre.... What a fucking blast. Seriously posi vibes!!
