Meet the McLovins, a jam band that covers Phish, the Meters and Weather Report and improvises extensively on their original tunes.
The trio is comprised of Jake (Drumlovin), Jason (Basslovin) and Jeff (Axlovin).
Jeff is still in middle school!!!
These shredders from Hartford, Connecticut, gained notoriety after a fan posted a YouTube video of them performing Phish's "You Enjoy Myself" on the Phish Phantasy Tour message boards.
Check out the video for "You Enjoy Myself" below, and click here to listen to a full live-set recording from one of their gigs in the Hartford area.

VK. is a bad influence on this band. | April 4, 2009 1:47 PM
Jerry / VisorKid are going to run this band into the ground.
These guys have incredible talent and need to stay surrounded by REAL positivity. Not scenester "promoters" that ONLY care about being 'cool' and making a name for themselves.
Katie Sulzinski | February 11, 2009 6:17 PM

Cant wait to see these young bucks at Rev Hall in Troy, NY. I hope their moms are chaperoning
Jezmund the Family Berzerker | January 21, 2009 10:38 PM
I dig it. Just enjoy yourselves while you're young. Try Reba or Terrapin Station while you're at it. I'm thinking you could nail the music to Up On Cripple Creek and some other tunes by The Band like The Shape I'm In. I also think someone on keys with some vocals would add a well received dimension to your band. Keep playing and listening to good music!

Jeph Jeffreys | January 20, 2009 7:26 PM
If you all want to hear a band that plays Phish, that you will enjoy and be blown away by, check out TON AKA Tripping on Nothing. The band performs regurally at theRiver Street Jazz Cafe in Plains, Pa, right next to Wilkes Barre. Mike Mizwinski, is the guitarist and the whole band is great. Mike can stand on stage with anyone an hold his own! This band is great and all of the members are extremely talented and also play in other bands such as Gongzilla, The Cabinet and Len Mooney from a band I can't name right now. No knock on this band , but Tripping on Nothing and Mike Mizwinski, blows these guys away!
Phanever | January 20, 2009 4:01 PM
Great Video Kids !
You almost ripped the YEM solo better than Trey in 2003-2004...

SeesTheFuture | January 14, 2009 11:35 PM
I've seen this band. Very surprised by the quality of their sound. I've seen great guitarist and AxLovin will rate up there in three years. BassLovin has some real talent and has a nice groove line going. Someone said he plays piano or keyboards, that would rock. DrumLovin has some real skills, loved the live YEM and the pans are soooo smooth.
MomMcLovins | January 14, 2009 11:05 PM
We do feel good about hood
ZZZZZZ | January 14, 2009 10:02 PM

TDJ | January 14, 2009 12:15 PM
Wow. Listen to that. Quit worrying about each other and remember, beginning in March, covering Phish won't make you popular any more...
your mom | January 14, 2009 10:51 AM
As soon as this band gets big enough to "threaten" phish (ie tDB, umphs, etc), the fans will turn on them and start to rip them a new one on a regualr basis.
the REV | January 14, 2009 9:56 AM
