The 7th Annual Jammy Awards

Aron Magner, Disco Biscuits

You just got done playing a few songs on Rock Band in front of a bunch of people. Have you ever played before?
Yeah, it’s actually a lot like being in a real band. You go from being really excited about the band to fighting about it in the space of 45 seconds.

And then everything falls apart onstage. That’s never happened to you in real life, right?
Uh, no. Never. [Laughs]

How different might your life be if Phish never existed?
Very different. They changed my philosophy and approach to improvisational music the same way that, say, Miles Davis did.
