MMW have found a way to cleverly fool String Cheese fans into listening to good music.

Were you guys always String Cheese Incident? Did you have a different name at any point?
I think for maybe a month we were the Bluestring Experience, or something like that. But we very quickly became the String Cheese Incident.
Where does that name come from?

You know, it’s kind of secret actually. We don’t talk about it much. But it is based on an incident and the idea that every show is a new incident. That’s kind of the thing that’s made it stick. Every time we get together and play music, it’s an incident. You never know what’s going to happen. The relationship between the band and the crowd is important and dynamic. We thought that it all kind of worked with the incident (idea).

The downside is that with Jerry dead, Phish split-up, and now these guys, the homeless population is going to explode.

This thread kind of makes me sad because it made me realize it's been at least 2 years since I last saw MMW.

"STRING CHEESE SPLIT. BEEN TRYING TO FOLLOW THE INTERPOL. NO LUCK SCORING WEED. PEOPLE UNFRIENDLY. COLD. HUNGRY. PLEASE WIRE MONEY. SKYLARK."

The show I really wanted to see that, as far as I know, never happened, was The Grassy Knoll/MMW/GOD.

why wasn't this a headline on pitchfork?

13 years and I never heard a note of their music.

So sad.

Is that photo above Widespread Panic?

I never realized their name was so literal.

― Joseph B. Cowart (flamingrev), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 08:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha, that was my exact thought when I saw the photo - "widespread indeed!"

WP makes SCI sound like MMW. I hates me some Panic.

Oh god, you've made me think of the worst mashup ever.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:09 (seventeen years ago) link

So ... Phish broke up, and now SCI broke up. Now, if Phil Lesh shares the stage with Bill Nershi and Trey Anastasio with Kuroda doing lights, THE BRAHPHECY WILL BE FULFILLED.

ten years pass...

Even the drummer of the mediocre jamband String Cheese Incident feels empowered to air his classically anti-Semitic views these days. pic.twitter.com/23TrvBDqkT
