Trey Anastasio Selling Masks Made From His "Send In The Clones" Suit For Divided Sky Fund

Even though Phish didn’t make their annual pilgrimage to Madison Square Garden this year, bringing tens of thousands of fans with them, Trey Anastasio is still keeping New Year’s Eve memories alive by selling off masks made from his “Send In The Clones” costume from 2019. The masks, which go on sale on January 1st at 1 p.m. ET, will raise money for the Divided Sky Fund.

In a Facebook post from the guitarist, Trey said that each “Green Clone Mask” is handmade from the remnants of the painter’s suit he donned on December 31st, 2019. Only 150 masks will be made, each one signed by Trey, and will sell for $250 plus $10 shipping with a limit of one per customer.

While the masks are alluring to anyone looking to own a piece of Phish history, owning a portion of Trey’s suit could be rather ominous. What seems like a lifetime ago at New Year’s Eve 2019, Trey supposedly (that’s right, I’m an NYE truther) got stuck on his platform high over the crowd Madison Square Garden. For most of the entire third set, his life and our hopes of the band’s longevity hung perilously in the balance. In a way—what with the risk to a musician’s health and the dancers located immediately below—the “Send In The Clones” gag gone awry served as a chilling sign of things to come as the pandemic made live music a risk to fan and audience alike. But, then again, it’s signed by Trey so do what you want.
