PHI-PHENOMENA is a festival featuring 10 bands performing in one hour, each playing a 5-minute set with 1-minute breaks in between. The festival was held in New York in 1996 and 1998, Boston in 1997, Minneapolis in 1999, Los Angeles in 2000, and Miami in 2001. The style of music performed at these festivals has included noise, free jazz, indie pop, electronica and no wave.

In 2001, PHI-PHENOMENA ON WHEELS marked the first effort to take this festival on the road. Approximately 10 bands traveled from city to city in an RV from September 6-17, 2001. Some groups were drawn from the local scenes of each city. A Few bands did full-length sets as opening acts, then followed by 10 bands in an hour afterwards.
