The Disco Biscuits Countdown To Camp Bisco Tour is shaping up to be a blast! In honor of the eighth edition of our marquee summer event, we are hitting the road with a slew of Camp Bisco veterans! All summer long our shows will feature Camp Bisco stalwarts. From our dates with Lotus in AC to Future Rock in Indy, we will be having little pre-camp throw-downs in clubs, theaters, and fields across America! We would like to highlight a few things about the tour while we have your attention.
The Egyptian Room at the Murat Centre show in Indianapolis would have been a perfect warm-up show for the Rothbury Festival slot, but considering it's our 7th show in 8 days, things are sure to be cooking well before we get to Indianapolis! And we have added a special guest that makes this show a not to be missed event!
Straight from Leeds, UK, 2020Soundsystem will throw down their nasty, live electronic beats at the Egyptian Room as direct support to the Biscuits...This special Rothbury pre-party already has Future Rock as the opener, and with 2020 on board, domes will be blown by nights end.
While State College is an evening with The Disco Biscuits, we should probably point out that this venue is extremely small for a Saturday night show, no less one in Pennsylvania, so we advise for you to get tickets ASAP.
While Dewey Beach is an evening with TDB as well, Atlantic City has Lotus on BOTH shows. Lotus has been (not so) quietly blowing the roofs off of venues nationwide, and we are pleased to have them playing shows with the Biscuits this summer!
In addition to the Murat Centre, Future Rock is also playing Sunday in Pittsburgh with us. We should point out that this show is an AFTERNOON SHOW. Curfew for the (very cool) venue is at 9 PM and the show will start early in the afternoon, so don't sleep too late in State College before heading out to Pittsburgh.
And in Columbus, as previously reported, EOTO and Future Rock will be supporting us. More dates to come!

This podcast highlights the late April run. The band hit their creative stride and found some seriously deep grooves. Caves of the East -> Mindless Dribble and Mirrors came from a fun weekend at the Electric Factory. The slightly re-worked Caves is becoming a great launching pad and the ensuing Dribble really got out there. Mirrors, quickly becoming a fan favorite, is Brownstein's latest new tune. The Run Like Hell -> Humu is top notch 2009 Bisco. This is just part of a longer segment from Louisville, but the islandy techno jam into Humu is by far the best part. And finally I-Man -> Basis is from the Asheville tour closer. There have been a number of hot I-Man's this year, and this one doesn't let down. April certainly was a barn-burner of a month for the Biscuits!

We appreciate the outpouring of support that the fans have been sending the band this week due to this family emergency. As well, we greatly appreciate the amount of respect we have received with regards to the privacy of the matter.
We are very sorry that the SOCAL shows had to be canceled this weekend. We do respect how hard it is on our fans who had plans to travel across the country and money invested into the trip, and we want to assure you that we would never cancel a show unless it was absolutely 100% necessary. We have the utmost respect for how much it costs to follow us around and how limited people's travel funds are with regards to going to concerts.
We want to let the fans know that the shows in Philadelphia are going to happen. We will see you next Friday night and we will be looking forward to raging the factory with you all and throwing down two more nights of epic 2009 Biscuits.

As scheduled, BLVD remains the supporting act for The Disco Biscuits’ April 11 performance at the House of Blues Sunset Strip. The San Francisco-based quartet is making an impact on the live electronic movement with fresh urban sounds after heavy touring and festival appearances throughout 2008.

3/24/2009 | Inferno 2 DAY PASS INFO
When we announced that we would be headlining Red Rocks, we received incredible outreach from our fans saying they would make the trip if there was a second show that weekend. In response, we added the Fox show and last week it sold out in less than 5 minutes. Since that happened, hundreds of people have reached out to us saying that they weren't able to get 2-day tickets and that the second show was a factor in their decision to fly to Colorado for the weekend. Over the weekend, we created a waiting list for 2-day passes and the response was overwhelming. In order to accommodate all of the ticket requests, we have decided to move the May 29th show to the Ogden Theatre in Denver. Though we have incredible love and heartfelt emotion for the Fox, the prime motivation here is to satisfy the demand so that you, our hard core supporters from Colorado and beyond, can be fully satiated with Bisco goodness.
Following is an outline of how the remaining tickets will be sold for this show as well as other information for current ticketholders to the Fox show. Tickets for the Ogden Theatre show will only be available on BISCOTIX. 1. All Tickets that were purchased for the Fox show will be honored for the Ogden show. In the event you would like a refund due to the venue change, you will be granted one through Music Today.
2. Tickets for the Ogden will first be offered to those people who signed up on the waiting list over the weekend as well as those who have already purchased single day tickets to Red Rocks. These people will have a window to purchase tickets from Noon ET on Tuesday, March 24th until 3 PM ET on Wednesday, March 25th. A unique password will be sent that will allow each person to purchase up to 2 Two Day Passes. No single show tickets will be sold to the Ogden. Tickets will be sold on a first come first serve basis. The ticket price will remain the same as the Fox Show.
3. Any unredeemed tickets to the Ogden show will be released to the general public at 3 PM ET on March 25th. We expect there to be a very limited number of tickets left to the Ogden at this point (if any at all) so we highly suggest purchasing them right away and not delaying. There will only be 2-Day Passes available.
We are excited about returning to the Ogden, the venue that hosted two of our best shows from our best tour ever! We will be back to the Fox at some point down the road, but for now we thought it was most important to have as many people as possible see the band for 2 nights over this incredible weekend.

We have recently gone through some personnel transitions and we appreciate your patience these last couple weeks with the extra time it has taken us to make these shows available to you for download. Our long time friend and co-archivist John Schmidt has recently passed his medical boards and is now officially a Dentist, beginning his transition from clubs to scrubs. Though he will stay on as a consultant, and to help out archivist Jon Goldberg, all of us at Biscuit Central would like to congratulate him on his achievements. As a fan and a taper, John has successfully and consistently strived to increase the quality of our recordings for everyone to enjoy. For that, and all of his hard work, we are grateful.
We have maintained our commitment to a pristinely mixed and mastered live download for all of our performances and, although this can sometimes take a while, all shows from the first leg of winter tour are now available and they sound better than ever! We want you all to know that we are taking active measures to try and get these shows up in a more timely manner and appreciate your patience, feedback and loyalty.

Quality venues are the key to this tour. The beautiful Klein Memorial Auditorium in Bridgeport is a perfect example. Known for it's amazing acoustics, this room is as nice as they come. And no one needs to be reminded of the raw energy at the Electric Factory! The East Coast leg of Spring Tour 2009 is going to be insane, and we are looking forward to seeing you there!
Tickets for these shows will be on sale through Bisco Tix on Monday, February 23rd and to the general Public through Ticketmaster or venue outlets on Friday, February 27th.
Speaking of the East Coast, all four of the upcoming Northeast shows are expected to sell out in advance so you should get your tickets to Portland and Boston as soon as possible. Both shows at the Higher Ground are SOLD OUT so please don't come without a ticket.
After the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium show on April 25th, the band expects to take a five week break from the road. The next show following this break, we are thrilled to report, will be BISCO INFERNO at Red Rocks Amphitheater. All details concerning the Red Rocks show will be forthcoming... stay tuned!

After some fun in the sun, we start it back up for a Thursday show at the House of Blues in San Diego on April 9th.

This special two night stand will close off the West Coast leg of Spring Tour with a bang.

After several years away from the Big Apple on New Years Eve, we have decided to bring the party back to NYC with a five night new years run at the Nokia Theater in Times Square. What better place to celebrate New Years than the symbolic center of the new years' universe, Times Square in NYC!
After our spring shows at the Nokia, we felt that the band and fans alike had found a new home in the "the city". Not since the days of Wetlands Preserve had we felt the "we're home" feeling that would make us want to set up and never break down. As such we want to end this amazing year of shows with five in a row, all at NYC's swankiest theater.
Tickets will go on-sale at Bisco Tix on August 8th and to the general public on August 15th. Make sure you buy your tickets ASAP! There are a limited number of fan club tickets available.

5/14/2008 | JOTR SHOW MOVED TO SATURDAY! VENUE MOVED TO FESTIVAL PIER!
As we all know... sometimes in life, plans change. As such, we need to move our outdoor Jam on The River show to the Saturday event due to an unforeseen personal obligation of one of the band members.
However, we will be playing a full TWO SET show on Saturday evening and another full TWO SET show later that night at the Factory. In order to accommodate the production needs of our late night show, we will be playing directly before the Flaming Lips. In order to accommodate a show with two headlining acts on it, we have decided to move the show to a bigger venue.
THE SATURDAY JOTR SHOW IS BEING MOVED TO THE FESTIVAL PIER, JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM PENNS LANDING.
All Sunday tickets will be honored at the Saturday show. The Sunday JOTR show will now be a FREE SHOW with any ticket stub from ANY OF THE JOTR shows, day or night. The Conspirator show on Sunday had to be postponed as well, but a new date will be announced soon. Please hold on to your tickets for this show as they will be honored at the make-up event. If you bought tickets to both days at JOTR, you will receive a refund for your Sunday ticket.
We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused, but we will make it up to you with FOUR mammoth sets at Jam On the River this year!

4/9/2008 | BISCUITS TO RELEASE JAMMY NOMINATED TRACTORBEAM SHOW FOR FREE ON ARCHIVE.ORG!
To celebrate the 2008 Jammys nomination for eMusic Download of the Year, the Disco Biscuits will release for free the Tractorbeam show from the Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA on June 26, 2007.
Tractorbeam was conceived as a different concert experience...something more akin to a DJ club set than a traditional rock concert. As Tractorbeam, The Disco Biscuits play completely instrumentally and reinvent their songs by removing the vocal sections.
In addition, the band has decided to release yet another Tractorbeam show from the vault! Look for the August 30, 2007 show, also from the Chameleon Club in Lancaster, on Livedownloads.com.

3/27/2008 | BACK FOR MORE JAM, SIX IN A ROW!!!!!!!
There are so many exciting announcements happening this week for the Summer 2008 Festival season! The first one to hit the city of Philadelphia this year is the annual Jam On the River Festival at Penns Landing. This will be the sixth consecutive year that the Biscuits headline this festival and the third in a row that we are playing both nights. This year, we switched to the Sunday night headliner for the main festival show, and we will be in FULL EFFECT on the Saturday night as we rock the ELECTRIC FACTORY for a late night show featuring our trademark brand of TRANCEFUSION, one that will shake the dance-floor so hard that they will feel it in Jersey!!! That comes on the tail end of the Flaming Lips bringing their amazing stage show and compositions to the river-front earlier that Saturday evening.
As if the Flaming Lips and a Biscuits late night show wasn't enough for one day, the festival will feature hip-hop infused electronica throw downs by RJD2 and BASSNECTAR! And that is only DAY ONE, FOLKS!
As the biscuits wind you down into Sunday morning, you better make sure to get some sleep, because the Sunday schedule doesn't give you much time to rest. The day show features some of the most amazing talent out there, from hometown heroes Lotus to everyone's favorite use to be electronica but is now into Americana star, Tommy Hamilton, who brings his American Babies project to the JAM. Check out these songs, Tommy is truly a genius and an inspiration as a song-writer and a producer (he produced the "single" on the biscuits new album and it is HOT HOT HOT!!!)... The Avett Brother's will most likely amaze you as well, as they are one of the hottest young up and coming bands in the country!!!
As if that weren't enough, LiveNation has gone way outside the box in booking DeadMau5 (pronounced DeadMouse) to play right before the biscuits. Deadmau5 is a Progressive House/Minimal Trance and Techno producer and DJ from Toronto, Canada known for tracks such as "Arguru" and "Not Exactly"; tracks which have been included on compilation albums such as In Search of Sunrise 6: Ibiza and MixMag's "Tech-Trance-Electro-Madness", mixed by Deadmau5 himself, and on Armin Van Buuren's A State of Trance radio show. Deadmau5 was called the most notable producer for 2007 by Tiësto and Armin Van Buuren in interviews regarding their ranking in DJ MAG's top DJs in the world. This is an act not to be missed. Check him out and we are sure you will be impressed!
Of course, then the Biscuits will pick up where they left off last year in one of the most monumental storms ever to grace one of our stages (maybe leave your phones at home this year?)... After destroying the river-front with one of the most epic Save the Robots ever, we had to stop in order to keep safe! Well we have not forgotten and we promise to bring the heat this year, but hopefully we will leave the wet at home!
When the Biscuits end, you can head over to the Fillmore at the TLA to catch one more late-night event as Conspirator and RJD2 keep the party going until the wee hours of the morning! This rager is going to cap off what is poised to be yet another amazing and memorable weekend at Jam on the River!
Get your tickets now at TICKETMASTER. We will see you there!

3/15/2008 | Camp Bisco Line-up! Brownie Blogs from Olympic Studios in London!
Later this week, MCP and The Disco Biscuits are going to announce the initial line-up for Camp Bisco 7 in July! Here is what Brownstein has to say about it:
"Hey guys, I am here in the studio in London putting the finishing touches on our tenth completed track for the new studio album! We are recording with Benji from Younger Brother today at Olympic Studios, where earlier we played a private show for the folks on Berko's tour. It was really fun. We played in a famous room where dozens of amazing albums have been made (and Eric Clapton is currently recording in!)...
So I got an email a few hours ago with the initial line-up for Camp. I know every year we say this is the best line-up ever, but this year takes the cake. Props to MeatCamp for going after some of the best talent out there. We have without a doubt, the biggest, best, most ridiculous line-up that we have ever pulled off.
Tonight we are finishing up a new song fittingly called "Vacation". It's been my first time in the UK and we are so thrilled at how successful the first few shows of the tour have been. The local fans have been brilliant and the crew from the states appears to be having as much fun as we are.
The Guinness in Glasgow was as smooth as a milkshake, living up to all my expectations (I don't normally drink, but how can you not have a few pints in Scotland?). We are looking forward to returning to the UK as soon as possible and continuing to spread this style of music across the pond. We're heading out to the Dam tomorrow and can't wait to meet those of you who are on the plane right now!
See you guys Monday... Keep in touch!
Marc"

MCP INC., aka Meatcamp Productions, a company run by the fans for the fans, has always had your perspective in mind when putting together runs of shows. And on that note, the Disco Biscuits and MCP are proud to bring to you the Spring 2008 southern run, "the Three Hour Tour".
Starting in Charleston, SC (thanks for all the email requests for a show, your emails worked), and ending in Asheville, NC, this five show run is between cities all within THREE HOURS of each other. This "easy as apple pie" southern tour was constructed with the die-hard traveling tour kid in mind.
On April 17, we stop in for a romp at the new Neighborhood Theatre (with a full main room dance floor with VIP tables, Bottle service, and a full liquor bar) in Charlotte, before heading down for a weekend two-night run at our old stomping grounds in Athens, Ga., the Georgia Theater. Then we head up to the headiest of heady towns for a 4/20 spectacular unlike any you have ever witnessed before. Join us as we light up the Orange Peel for one very special "holiday" show!
The night before our Three Hour Tour begins, on April 15th, we make a quick stop-over in Falls Church, VA, trying on the State Theater for size. After decimating the Boulder Theater in Colorado, the guys in Conspirator commented that the State Theater in VA. was pretty much the same room, and the wheels were set in motion to take the roof off of that venue as well!
Tickets for the run will be on-sale tomorrow, Feb. 7th, at BiscoTix, and on Saturday Feb. 9th at Ticketmaster.
We will see you in the dirty south!

This Thanksgiving Season, Conscious Alliance, a national 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to feeding America's hungry, will be hosting their 4th Annual Turkey n’ Trimmings holiday food deliveries November 16-20, 2007.
Last year, they distributed 1,000 holiday turkey boxes to people in need in South Dakota and Montana. Each box contained one 15 lb. frozen turkey, one 10 lb. bag of potatoes, eight pounds of assorted canned vegetables, and two boxes of stuffing. This year, it is their goal to distribute upwards of 4,000 holiday turkey boxes and expand our outreach to include multiple communities in: South Dakota, Montana, New Mexico and Louisiana.
A donation of $15 or more will provide one frozen turkey to a family in need this holiday season.
A donation of $30 or more will provide a complete holiday dinner box (including one frozen turkey and all the fixings) to a family in need this holiday season.
Through your donations, there is an incredible opportunity to help bring Thanksgiving back to Native America. Your support is helping Conscious Alliance reach their goal of collecting one million pounds of food and to actualize their vision of feeding 20,000 people this holiday season.
As many of you know, Marc helped create a non-profit organization called HeadCount devoted to registering voters at concerts and harnessing the potential influence of this community. HeadCount has come a long way since this idea was dreamed up in early 2004, and many friends and fans of the Biscuits have gotten involved (including people like Dave Matthews, Bob Weir, and Warren Haynes).
Today HeadCount launched a new version of its Web site ( www.headcount.org), designed by the same team that brings you www.discobuscuits.com. Please check it out, it includes a video documentary starring Marc and many famous names, a polling place finder, and a link to VOLUNTEER for HeadCount. Hundreds of Disco Biscuits fans already have and they will tell you it's an incredibly rewarding experience. HeadCount plans to register voters at up to 1,000 concerts next year, in cities all over America. Be a part of this movement. Go to www.headcount.org. And GO TO THE POLLS TODAY AND VOTE!

8/29/2007 | BISCUITS CONFIRM TWO SETS FOR ECHO PROJECT, ADD SHOWS TO FALL TOUR!!!!
The Disco Biscuits started working with Meatcamp Productions after a fun night of partying on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. Then 22 year old dreamer, Jon Fordin, offered Brownie a stack of benjamins to come play in his living room. Half a decade later, Fordin and his business associates have grown their company, essentially started at five in the morning in a pimp hotel room, into one of the nations most succesful independent promoters. Fresh off their third hugely successful Camp Bisco, Meatcamp is stepping it up a notch, throwing the south's first eco-friendly and 100% carbon-neutral festival, THE ECHO PROJECT, right outside of Atlanta. Naturally, the Disco Biscuits will be there.
We have confirmed that we will be playing TWO SETS, on the late night of Friday, Oct. 12th! This performance will be a full on Disco Biscuits show, and we are excited to bring the heat down south right as it starts to cool down.
In other news, we have added several shows to the Fall tour. We will be lighting up the Cannery Ballroom in Nashville on Oct. 16th. On the 19th, we will be heading to our favorite mid-western college town to throw-down at the Canopy Club. On October 24th, we are extremely excited to be playing the magnificent Warner Theater in Washington, DC. We have had our eyes on this Theater since a close friend in the area suggested it to us a few years back, calling it "the best music venue in town!" Don't miss that show!
See you out on tour, folks.
8/23/2007 | Another Successful Camp Bisco!! Fall Tour Dates!! TBA's announced below!

6/30/2007 | TRACTORBEAM FROM CHAMELEON CLUB AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD!
We are very excited to release the performance of Tractorbeam from the Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA on June 26, 2007. Tractorbeam was conceived as a different concert experience...something more akin to a DJ club set. Tractorbeam plays completely instrumental. The big highlight of the night was a mammoth rendition of Mr. Don. This wasn't any ordinary version of Mr. Don, but rather one that went back in time. On May 7, 1998, The Biscuits played the Chameleon Club for the first time. They debuted two cover songs that night: The Beatles' Norwegian Wood and Prince's 1999. Also that night they played a version of Mr. Don that many fans still consider a benchmark jam that defined a very creative time period for the band. Coming back 9 years later, these songs resurfaced as spontaneous jams in the extended intro of yet another epic Mr. Don. Also of note, Mindless Dribble has a phenomenally psychedelic intro, reminiscent of classic versions of the song. We are pleased to share this live experience with you and hope you enjoy it.
6/29/2007 | BISCUITS TO CLOSE POMPANO BEACH AMPHITHEATER SHOW!
Last night, after the show at Ntelos Wireless Pavilion in Portsmouth, VA, the highly anticipated Pompano Poker Showdown took place.
For those of you that might not know, Barber has been training religiously for this showdown with Ryan Stasik, a well known Poker shark. Barber brought his chips everywhere, and played against the masters for three months, and the training has paid off.
In a Poker match for the ages, Barber delivered the final blow with a 9 and a 4. And as such, the Biscuits will close the first leg of D.U.M.B. tour at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater on Sunday.
6/6/2007 | Caribbean Holidaze on sale Monday!

6/4/2007 | CAMP ARTIST ADDITIONS
We are thrilled to announce some exciting additions to this year’s line up.
Umphreys Mcgee will be returning to the Camp Bisco stage after taking a year off. In that year, they have refined, improved, and expanded their sound with some major festivals plays such as Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, 10k Lakes, and All Good. The ever-evolving sound of Umphrey’s McGee continues to surprise and elate us and they are guaranteed to rock and shock us at this summer’s final blow out. We are proud to bring one of Britain’s most unique and lively bands, The Bays. Based upon hundreds of requests from the fans, we brought you the band that is “reinventing dance music.” “Their manifesto of pure improvisation and raw creative synergy is causing major tremors at all levels of the music industry, challenging many of its most entrenched attitudes about bands and live performance.” – DJ Magazine. Adam Deitch will be returning after performing on all three stages last year. He seemed to be the talk of the campgrounds after making epic performances with the infamous John Medeski on the main stage, and rocking with his own band both inside and on the side stage. This year he will be bringing the “The Storyteller” himself, Slick Rick, to provide us with what promises to be one of the most memorable performances in Camp Bisco’s history. Adam will also be performing a set with his own band, The Adam Deitch Project. Also making a return visit this year will be the Benzos and Indobox. The decision to bring these bands back to Camp was easy after both bands provided hard-hitting energetic music which complimented the lineup perfectly. We are also proud to introduce one of our personal favorites, The Afromotive, a nine piece afro-oriented world beat band out of Asheville, NC. In addition, Philadelphia’s own, the Grimace Federation, will be making their debut performance at Camp Bisco along with Digital Frontier, Strut, and Caveman.
6/1/2007 | SEASIDE PARK ON THE EVE OF INDEPENDENCE
There will be a show on the July 3rd on the New Jersey shore. The show will take place at the Green Roon at the Sawmill in Seaside Park. The band figured heading out to the beach would be nice, but staying warm for tour would be even better. So we are doing both. Join us for our East Coast Fourth Of July Celebration. Tickets are limited at this venue. BiscoTix will be on-sale today (June 1st) at noon. They go on-sale to the general public on Sat., June 2nd.
See you there!
5/31/2007 | Independent Sold Out

5/27/2007 | NEW MERCH TONIGHT AT FACTORY!!! TODD SLATER POSTER FOR JOTR!!!
First of all the band would like to express our deepest apologies for having to cut short our Jam on the River set. Anyone who was there knows that we played at least one song more than we should have. We absolutely did not want to stop under any circumstances, but the safety of the fans, the crew, and the band were seriously in question, and there was no other option than to take a break. Once the break was in full swing, the decision from the venue came in that the concert would be called off. We were very dissappointed, but there was nothing we could do about it. We will make it up to you with a rage-fest at the Factory tonight!
There is a great deal of new merch to check out. Some of the best tees we have ever printed came in yesterday and we are really excited about the new design. As well, The famous poster artist Todd Slater made a commemorative print for the weekend. They will be available at the factory. It is one of the nicest posters we have ever had made. Check them out!
5/23/2007 | Conspirator Laptop PA Sets
Conspirator would like announce that the shows this weekend will not be DJ sets. Instead, they will be performed as Laptop PA sets with live bass and keyboards. Marc and Aron will perform the shows without the help of DJ Omen, who will have to skip the shows for personal reasons. Chris is in our thoughts and our prayers and will rejoin us as soon as is humanly possible.
The end result will be very similar, and in fact there will be a handful of new BANGING tracks being debuted this weekend. We are very excited for the shows and we look forward to raging the late night sets!
Buy your tickets for both the Highline and the Electric Factory shows ASAP as tickets are moving swiftly for both shows!
5/22/2007 | NOTES FROM TOUR - FACTORY SOLD OUT!

2/10/2007 | FREE SOUNDBOARD RELEASE AND NEW SHOWS ON NUGS.NET!!!!
The Disco Biscuits are very excited to release a pair of shows from The Silo in Reading, Pennsylvania. December 27 and 28, 2000 kicked off a historic new years run and provided some amazing gems. The opening jam out of Pygmy Twylyte into inverted Above The Waves set the tone for these shows: patience and creativity. Be sure to check out the 28th, which is equally thrilling. These shows have been remastered from the original tapes and sound fantastic.
We are also happy to release a free soundboard from our vault, which is available at www.archive.org! This show from December 29, 2006 was an afternoon performance at the Theater of the Living Arts in Philadelphia. The show, which occurred at 12 noon, was probably the only time a line wrapped around the block in the early hours of the morning for a Disco Biscuits show! For those who made it out, it was a different experience than the norm. Not only were there people listening on the radio at home, but many people went to the previous night's show and then drove the 100 miles to Philadelphia. For those who listened at home on the radio, this is a much better sounding source than you originally heard. We hope you enjoy!

On Thursday, Feb. 15th, at the Starland Ballroom, the Biscuits are going to Spin The Wheel!
That’s right, the set-list that night will be decided on the spot and in real time, right in front of your eyes. We are going to put all kinds of things up there … brand new compositions, tracks for the new album, new covers, Sammy songs, super rare old-school Biscuits’ bust outs, and a smattering of your favorite classics. We don’t know what the wheel will decide, but we know it is going to be wild, unpredictable and crazy!
The finest dressed ladies in the house will be spinning the wheel all night long. So get in your best digs and we will get you up there to help decide the direction of the jams and the direction of the night.
If you were at the Atlantic City show, you know how exciting the spinning of the wheel can be. Add in the new songs, the Sammy songs, and a few of the most requested bust-outs of the year, and this has the making of a legendary night.
Don’t miss this special night, for once it is over, the new songs go back in the vault. Taping for this show will not be permitted, so you have to be there to hear it.

We are hopeful that that will happen soon, as the band is anxious to get back out on the road and continue where they left off. And of course they are eager to get out there and road-test the newest batch of songs.
However, Starland and the Langerado shows are currently the only shows that the band is scheduled to play (other than Jamcruise and Culture Room). Don't get shut out. Get your tickets now.
Tickets are currently available for the Starland Ballroon show at www.ticketmaster.com.

7/19/2006 | CATERPILLAR VIDEO PUT IN ROTATION ON MTV LATIN AMERICA!!!
The Disco Biscuits took a risk in letting an old friend in the film industry play around with a video edit of the Wind at Four to Fly's "Caterpillar". That friend, Kevin Abrams, famous for being the co-author of the Biscuits' well known anthem "Basis for a Day", set out on a mission to make something unusual yet pleasing to the eye on virtually no budget. In the end, he put togther what could be decribed as an "art piece", with an eclectic cast of beautiful women and a colorful and psychedelic backdrop.
The project started out as an experiment, without any expectations other than to be an introduction into the medium of film for the band, but the video has started to gain some momentum on the airwaves.
"Caterpillar" was placed into rotation on the MTV Latin network, which services over 40 Million homes throughout Latin America and Southern California and Florida. It will appear on the show "120 Minutes" which airs between 2-4 AM on Monday-Friday. It will air throughout the months of July and August, 2006.
The video can also be seen on Comcast and Adelphia Cable networks On-Demand service called Havoc TV as well on dozens of regional music programs around the nation. Comcast also recently aired the Camp Bisco DVD On-demand for two months.

OTT's previous work has included producing/engineering albums for Brian Eno, The Orb, Sinead O'Conner & Shpongle (just to name a few). In recent years, OTT has branched out as a recording artist and DJ. Ott's live shows are legendary and this set is sure to be one for the ages.
We just didn't feel right without including some good old foot stompin' Rock and Roll. Nobody playing music today says rock and roll more than Scott Metzger and Joe Russo, the core of Bustle in your Hedgerow, also featuring Dave Dreiwitz of Ween, and for this special performance, Jamie Shields of the New Deal. Bustle recreates the music of Led Zeppelin, and they do it incredibly well. They have rocked packed clubs and festival crowds for the past couple of years. Between Russo's beats, Metzger's licks, Dreiwitz's precision, and Jamie's unique melodic approach, this is going to be a one hell of a set.
Also coming to Camp for the first time is the hip-hop phenom, Lyrics Born! He will be backed by a seven-piece band, which will surely add even more energy to his already anticipated set. He was recently seen on tour and heard on Galactic's new hip-hop album, "From The Corner To The Block."
Last but certainly not least, straight from Connecticut, The Breakfast will be bringing their progressive, funk rock sound to their first Camp Bisco. The Jammy Award winning trio has spent the last year touring across the country in support of their last release, Moxie Epoxy. The band's ability to mix up a wealth of styles and feed of their influences, combined with the pure talent and raw energy put out at every show make The Breakfast a band not to be missed.
This years' mantra for Camp Bisco was to blow up the line-up and that we did. With mainstream acts like the Roots, Thievery Corporation, and the Brazilian Girls, Camp Bisco V will prove to be a mecca for hippies, hipsters, and hip-hop lovers alike. And why not, they all have one thing in common, their hipness.
And now we are pleased to announce that the Benevento/Russo DUO, fresh off their tour with Mike, Trey, and Phil, will be making yet another appearance at Camp. As well we are excited to announce we will be joined by Simon Posford, this time with Shpongle (and Younger Brother), which can be credited as a major early influence to the Biscuits' sound and scene. Come see Simon work his magic and twist his sounds.
As well we will be having a Thursday night pre-party in the lodge featuring the return of MOSHI MOSHI, a Sam Altman project!!! In addition to Moshi, Big in Japan returns along with Quagmire Swim Team!!! We are also excited to have the Adam Deitch Project join us. Adam is an incredible drummer who has made a name for himself playing in Jon Scofield's band. Other additions to camp include Psylab, Micheal Myers, Elemental Harmonics, Lotus, and Perpetual Groove.
But perhaps the biggest news is that the biscuits have in a very short time returned to top form, blowing the roof off of Summer Camp, Wakarusa, Bonnaroo, Starscape, and High Sierra!!! The level of consistency that the boys have brought to their show has been unmatched in years, potentially in their entire career. At no other time in recent memory could a fan be so sure that the show they were going to was going to be the mind-numbing dance-floor shaking experience that a Biscuits' show was meant to be. The band is extremely excited that the feeling called Bisco has returned in such a short time with a new line-up and has never been so confident that they can deliver the goods.
Come check out the new Disco Biscuits, who have recently played a string of performances that will no doubt be talked about for years to come. See what all the recent hype has been about. Listen to the boys as they listen to each other and mold each jam like a ball of clay, playing off every little nuance as they build their soundscapes into the explosive climaxes that we have alll become addicted to!!!
Get your tickets now and see you there!!!

6/1/2006 | ELECTRIC FACTORY SHOW AVAILABLE AT THE DOWNLOAD PORTAL!!!
The Electric Factory show is up and ready for download. Get your copy now and re-live the exploratory, spacey goodness that was flowing from the fingers and hands of 2.0.
Thanks to our new friends at IK Multimedia all of our new releases will be mastered using T-RackS, professional mastering software, which will add more elements to the sonic quality of these shows. Marc's bass bombs will be thumping, while the high laser frequencies emanating from Magner's synths will be pristine. Using this tool, the shows will have a much richer, warmer sounding feel thanks to the physical modeling of tube circuitry in this plug-in. This process is the same “finishing” that is used when music is recorded in the studio and is sent to the “Mastering House” that re-processes the songs. Just think of it as audio Windex for the mixes. Stereo imaging becomes more pronounced as do all elements within the frequency spectrum. Download some of the new shows added this week and check out ikmultimedia.com and hear for yourself!

2/1/2006 | CAMP BISCO IV - THE TRANCE-FORMATION DVD ON THE WAY!!!
Chris Lonergan and Cadence Video have produced an amazing movie documenting Sammy's last shows with the Disco Biscuits. The main disc of this two disc set is a feature length combination of live show and interview footage that gives a very emotional account of the bands perception of the Trance-Formation. These incredible interviews include all four original members of the band talking about the past, the present, and the future. Cadence Video has produced an unbelievable keepsake for those fans of TDB who have dedicated so much time and energy into being a fan of the Biscuits.
This DVD is being released by Diamond Riggs Records as a limited edition product and will be available only through the Disco Biscuits' website and shows, as well as through Home Grown Music Network. There will only 3000 copies made available and there will be no reprints. This is a one-time deal. We are making this available now so that our biggest fans will be able to remember this incredible weekend for years to come.
There is a bonus disc of 2 hours of the best uncut live music from Camp, which was carefully selected by the band and the producers of this video!!!
There will be no pre-order for these discs. We are still putting the finishing touches on the artwork and the video editing, and a release date will be set in the next few days.
We are very excited to get this out, after completing the long process of editing this footage into something that we can all really feel good about. It was very important for us to try to capture the emotion of the event on the DVD, and Cadence Video has succeeded in that task many times over. We have viewed this DVD several times and there is a lot of humor, excitement, and mind-blowing music, but one thing is for sure, there has not been a dry eye in the house by the time the DVD ends, just the same as when Camp ended for us, closing out an era that will not soon be forgotten.
Thanks to Chris and Cadence for working with the band to create a very special film that will forever be the perfect send-off for our brother and friend, Sam Altman.
1/30/2006 | ROCK THE EARTH TO JOIN BISCUITS AT THE FILLMORE
In an effort to continue to give back to the community, the Biscuits will be working with local and national charities as we move about the country to help bring awareness to those causes that are of concern to the band and our fans.
Manning a table at the Denver Fillmore, we have our good friends from Rock The Earth. Rock the Earth is a non-profit organization that acts as advocates to ensure the existence of a sustainable and a healthy environment for us all.
So stop by and say hello, and while you're at the table, they will also be raffling off a poster autographed by the Disco Biscuits. For more info check out www.rocktheearth.org
1/26/2006 | BISCUITS' CD RELEASE PARTIES TO TAKE PLACE IN VERMONT!!!!
With the news of a new double live album on the way, it would stand to reason that a tour was in order to support the record. The organization is firing on all cylinders and plans are in the works for several tours which will (finally) bring the band back to all four corners of the country.
We are so excited to be able to look to the future with certainty and confidence that the band will once again be shaking the dance-floors and blowing the roofs off of unsuspecting venues everywhere.
The first of such venues to be leveled by the insane energy of a Biscuits' show will be the new Higher Ground in Burlington, Vermont, which will be the site of the Wind at Four to Fly CD Release parties!!! On April 13th, 14th, and 15th, the Biscuits will set up shop for a three night run to kick off Spring Tour, the first of such in three years!!!
Although all of our plans are not yet set in stone, we can tell you that from the Green Mountain State, the tour heads south for a run of shows in North Carolina, Virginia, and DC. This southern run will be anchored by three shows in Allen's home state of Georgia!!!
The band will then head directly back into the studio to begin the recording of their next Studio CD!!! They will spend the rest of May crafting their newer sounds into a complete work, and then they will get right back out on the road.
The second leg of the tour, which begins in early June, will cover the Central Plains States before heading out west for a few choice festival slots and a handful of club, theater, and ballroom shows along the way.
We will post dates as soon as they are confirmed for the purpose of our fans being able to make travel plans at their earliest convenience. Of course, occasionally there are factors that lead to shows being added along the way, and in those cases we promise to be as forthcoming with information as we can. We appreciate your patience as we take the time to make sure that all of our plans are perfect so that the live show experience can be as enjoyable as possible for everyone!!!
Higher Ground ticket info wil lbe posted this afternoon.
We will see you on the road.
1/23/2006 | DIAMOND RIGGS RECORDS TO TEAM UP WITH SCI FI
The Disco Biscuits new Double Live album, The Wind at Four to Fly, will be released by Diamond Riggs Records through SCI Fidelity Records on April 18th, 2006!!! This very special relationship will allow TDB to retain all of the creative control that comes with having your own label, but will at the same time place their new album into stores nationwide with the strength of a professional marketing team behind it.
This very exciting news makes the Biscuits label-mates with some of our closest friends in the scene, including Umphrey's McGee and Brothers Past. We are overjoyed to team up with an amazing label that has the interest of the artists as their first priority, and the experience of working with bands in our genre behind them. We hope to work with SCI FI for many great years to come.
The Wind at Four to Fly is a compilation disc of some incredible tracks that have been culled from the final shows that the band performed with our original line-up. Though the track listing has been lock-boxed for some time now, we can tell you that the album includes a number of definitive versions of fan favorites, and is split into two discs, the first containing some very special stand alone songs and the second containing an all out trance fusion explosion.
There is most certainly something for everyone on this extraordinary new effort from TDB.
1/4/2006 | HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
The Disco Biscuits rang in the New Year with style, welcoming Allen to the band with a M.E.M.P.H.I.S. countdown that will be remebered for years to come for what it was; A simple and elegant way to usher in the new era of the Disco Biscuits.
We are so happy to have shared such a wonderful week with our fans, and we are overwhelmed with excitement at the unanimous positivity we have been receiving from our fans and friends over the new direction of our band.
Over the next few months (and years) we will be dedicated to long days of practice, composition, recording, and performing. The Disco Biscuits built this ship on years and years of seven days a week practice sessions and we are excited to be back in that mode. Our new studio, which is the former house of DJ Jazzy Jeff, and before that Ruffhouse Records, will act as a center for our creative process, and we look forward to living there as we used to live in our practice space in the late nineties and early zeroes.
In short, it is great to be back. We can't wait to bring Allen to the Fillmore in Colorado and let him turn it upside down with his ferocity. Get your tickets now to this special show which is bound to feature handfuls of the trance inducing new material as well as several very special "bust outs".
We are excited to take Allen to Florida for a nice run of shows associated with Langerado that will set us up for the new line-up's debut performance across the pond, in Amsterdam for the second annual Jam in the Dam. Don't miss this incredible experience!!! Jam in the Dam 1 was one of the great all-time festivals and the line-up this year is practically perfect, as we are playing with our very close friends, Umphreys McGee, The Duo, and Sound Tribe Sector Nine.
There will be many more shows announced for this year, including a healthy dose of the best festivals in the country, but for now it is all about hitting the shed and becoming the most exciting band that there is to see in this country. It was great to spend our holidays with you all. Once again thanks for your support and we can't wait to see you all in Chicago and Denver. (only $59 one way from CHI-town to Denver, get on that now kiddies)

12/12/2005 | IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU IN THE BAND!!
After several months of auditions and many weeks of deliberation, the Disco Biscuits are once again a four piece band.
It is with great pleasure and excitement that we would like to welcome to the band our new drummer, Allen Aucoin.
After many weeks of rehearsal with several drummers, Allen emerged at the head of the pack with an undeniable energy and a youthful exuberance that, in the end, was absolutely unparalleled. Simply put, Allen brought the heat, and the heat was HOT.
While we did find that there were many incredible drummers out there, there was only one that made us feel like we were truly dealing with that indescribable feeling called BISCO. When Allen Aucoin was beating the skins, bisco was in the air. You could close your eyes and it just felt right, and in the end, that was the biggest factor in our decision to take Allen. We like to call it the X-Factor.
So help us all in welcoming our incredible new drummer to the band, Allen "X-Factor" Aucoin. Come on out to the Tower Theatre on December 28th and help us to usher in a new era of The Disco Biscuits. Celebrate with us as we play Allen's first full show. We have been practicing for it for weeks now and will be fully charged and ready to go.
See you there...
12/9/2005 | THE KEY AVAILABLE IN TOWER RECORDS FOR PHILLY FOLKS!!!
If you are looking to purchase Conspirator's incredible new album, The Key, it is slowly making it's way into stores. The first store to make shelf space for Conspirator in this busy holiday season is Tower Records on Broad and Chestnut in Philadelphia. Head on down and give it a listen in the listening booth or pick it up and bring it to your bumping system at home (and rage it).
Conspirator is in the middle of their four night cd release tour. Word has it that the meat of last nights set in Lancaster was a psychedelic throwdown. Magner, Brownstein and Omen continue to push the bounderies of authentic trance, but with their own little touch of twisted improvisation. Check them out tonight at the State Theatre in Falls Church, VA and tomorrow at the 8x10 in Baltimore for nasty and delicious goodness, brah.

Practice for the Thursday show has been about as fun as it gets! The process of learning the album songs has been amazing and they all sound better than we could have imagined. As well we have dusted off some of the most requested tunes of yester-year and given them the Allen treatment! This show is shaping up to be a really special night. It is now up to Lady Luck to see which songs get played. Will the wheel land on Shadow? We certainly hope so! If you have made a request that seems far-fetched (we are talking to you, Yancy), there is a great chance that Thursday is the night to see it!
Don't miss this show, as we can promise you it will be an unforgettable night in the history of the Disco Biscuits! We would recommend blowing off work or school and just bring your ass to the party!
