7/20/2010 | Camp Downloads
Camp Bisco is always that special time of year. Its magical... like watching a unicorn fucking a manitee. I look forward to it with the anticipation of a child about to go to Disney World for the first time. Now I am home, about to enjoy a much needed rest, reminiscing over the weekend, looking at pics, and listening to parts of the sets. I am immediately taken back to the initial excitement of the first few notes of House Dog, or the moment that the lasers dropped at the beginning of the Morph jam. The music of these special shows tell the story of the Disco Biscuits. You, our fans, are the reason we do what we do and we are excited to relive this amazing weekend with you here.
-Aron

6/30/2010 | Late Summer Tour Announced!
Hey Everyone, Thanks to all of you for throwing down so hard with us in late May and June as we made stops at some of our favorite venues and festivals in the country. With your help, Bisco Inferno was once again a huge success and we have already started to plan Inferno 2011. From Wakarusa to Starscape and of course on to Bonnaroo, it was great to see huge crowds at festivals across the country - relive them all with us at LiveDownloads. The band is now at home resting up and preparing for Camp Bisco 9. We are really excited! The lineup is filled with so many amazing artists and the entire festival team is stepping it up to a new level this year. We can't wait to party with you all!
We just finished plotting our late August/September run that will take us to some familiar places as well as some new ones. Presales for most of our newly-announced headline dates are live NOW at BiscoTix! We start in the Northeast with a beach party in Dewey Beach. We hope to recreate the magic that we created in South Carolina earlier this month. Then we head down to North Carolina with a show at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh. Both these shows will be with our friend MiM0SA who will be joining us at many other stops along the way. If you're not familiar, he is incredible young dubstep producer and DJ that you'll have to come and see. After making our debut appearance at the Blackwater Music Festival in Florida on August 27, we hit Atlanta for what promises to be an amazing weekend of music with our close friends STS9. On Saturday night August 28, we co-headline at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre with STS9 and on Sunday August 29, we have our own headlining show at the Tabernacle. From Atlanta, we head up north making stops in Lexington, KY and Cleveland with our new up and coming friends in Papadosio. Come early and check them out.
Labor Day weekend sees our return to Chicago to take part in the North Coast Music Festival, where we'll be joined by some great artists and friends including Pretty Lights, Damian Marley and NAS, the Chemical Brothers and Umphrey's McGee. On Friday night, September 3, we will play our own very special late-night show at the Congress Theatre immediately after the Festival closes at 10 PM. This is our first return to the Congress since January 2009 when we tore the roof off the sucka with RJD2 and Prefuse 73. Ticketing details for this show will be announced shortly. On Saturday of Labor Day weekend we will make a quick jolt down to Austin for the Nocturnal Festival: Texas where we will perform with Pretty Lights, Girl Talk, and Armin Van Buuren. We will then fly back up to Chicago to perform our headlining festival slot at the North Coast Festival on September 5. From Chicago we will head east for a night in State College, PA on Tuesday, September 7 and a two-night throwdown at the Town Ballroom in Buffalo on September 8-9. This will all be followed by an amazing weekend in Holyoke, MA at Mountain Park and Boston at the Bank of America Pavillion, September 10-11. We will be joined at these shows by some very special guests to be announced shortly!
Less than three weeks until we are all together in Mariaville at Camp 9. See you soon!

Last night following the show Jon Gutwillig injured his wrist in an accident. He received immediate medical attention and it was determined that he would need surgery to which he is having this afternoon in New York. Though we expect a speedy recovery, we will need to make the following adjustments to our 5 upcoming shows this weekend:
1. Tonight's show in Boston WILL take place. Though Jon will not be there, we plan on still rocking out with everyone at the House of Blues. Expect a big party tonight in Boston with special guests and lots of musical treats. Since the band is not at full strength, we are making tonight's show a free show. Refunds will be available for any ticket purchaser at point of purchase. If you used cash to purchase your tickets, remember to hold onto your ticket stub. PLEASE NOTE YOU WILL NEED TO SHOW YOUR TICKET TO GET INTO TONIGHT'S SHOW BUT YOU WILL STILL BE REFUNDED.

1/19/2010 | Re:Creation @ Boulder Theatre
Euphonic Conceptions has teamed up with the Disco Biscuits for a special all-night Re:Creation event at the Boulder Theater on Friday, January 29th. Celebrating the second night of a monumental four sold out Disco Biscuits shows at the Fox Theatre, this event will open doors at 9pm and continue past 4am.
The late portion of the show is headed up by Conspirator, with Marc Brownstein and keyboardist Aron Magner uncorking their darkest & dirtiest electronic flavors. Joining them for this show will be local Boulder hero of the drumkit Lane Shaw of Pnuma Trio. This show will also feature Jon Gutwillig's electronic project, M80 Dubstation.
The early evening is packed with a plethora of top shelf electronic acts such as Random Rab (along with world renowned painter and visualist Andrew Jones), and the crunkstep phenom Mimosa. Rounding out the early evening will be Boulder's own Fresh2Death (feat Samples and Fisk) and Jantsen.
Discounted tickets will be available for $25 at the Biscuits merch booth inside the Fox Theatre.
In the wake of the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12th, The Disco Biscuits thoughts go out to the victims and the families of those affected by this natural disaster.

Another quick, easy way you can contribute to the Haiti relief efforts is by texting “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to the American Red Cross. The donations will appear on your cell phone carrier bill and 100% of the donation will go towards aid to Haiti.

12/1/2009 | FOX TICKETING UPDATE
FOX TICKETING UPDATE- FROM MANAGEMENT
This morning, our ticketing company, Musictoday, mistakenly began our Fox onsale several minutes late. We are dealing with this matter internally.
We understand how infuriating this was for our fans and trust us when we say this, it was equally as infuriating to us. We wanted these shows to be special for the fans and now we are forced to read angry emails and posts from the people we care about most.
We have spoken to the Fox and they have generously given us 100 more 4 day passes to sell through Biscotix. These 4 day passes will go on sale tomorrow (Wednesday) December 2nd at 2PM EST/Noon MST at BiscoTix (http://biscotix.musictoday.com)
We are happy to announce that we will be returning to Colorado for 4 Epic shows at the Fox Theatre in Boulder, CO on January 28, 29, 30 and 31. The Fox is one of our favorite venues in the country and we didn't think there would be a better place to call home for what promises to be four epic nights. A limited number of 4 Day passes and single day passes go on sale tomorrow - Tuesday December 1st at Noon ET - through BiscoTix and through the Fox Theatre on Friday at Noon MST. We highly suggest getting your tickets early!
We also wanted to announce that Bisco Inferno will be returning to Red Rocks on May 29th. Save the Date. We are working on the lineup right now and it promises to be another amazing weekend with a power packed lineup.

We couldn't be more excited to bring our spectacle of a Halloween show to the historic and masterfully designed Auditorium Theater in Chicago. Though I have never been, I have heard of its lore for years, its amazing natural sound and its exquisite architecture.
The theme of the night is "Black and White....Full of Fright" I'm picturing all the creatures of the night took over Gatsby's mansion for a grand ball and got time warped to Bisco '09. I imagine Vampirella and the Bride of Frankenstein getting down with Teen Wolf at the prom, next to a Zombie who was burried in his wedding clothes. Your imagination is the limit, have fun.
Joining us for the festivities will be our good friends and Chicago natives Orchard Lounge as well renown acts Holy Fuck and The Glitch Mob. I literally watched Brownstein get Holy Fucked while watching their set at Fuji Rock and Allen and I have been studying Glitch Mob's unique way of presenting music for years to adapt it into our set.
What a venue, what a show!!! See ya in Chi-town. - Aron
10/29/2009 | Halloween Poster
Halloween is two days away, hope you are as pumped as we are!! Get there early to catch our friends The Glitch Mob and Holy Fuck. Orchard Lounge will be rocking the setbreak.

10/26/2009 | Spinner 'You and I' Video Premiere
Spinner.com is featuring the You and I Video Premiere.
"All of our past videos have been DIY," bassist Marc Brownstein admits to Spinner. "But we knew we had to do something special for 'You and I.'" So when the Biscuits flew to Japan this past summer to headline the Fuji Rock festival, they brought along Ghost Town Media (Death Cab for Cutie, Kanye West) to make the video.
Soldiers of Jah Army will be supporting us Friday night at the Electric Factory in Philly on November 27th. As we have previously announced, the Omega Moos, featuring members of the New Deal and Umphreys McGee will be supporting us the following night at the Factory. Should be a raging weekend, we will see you there!

Wave House San Diego will not be opening the Wave House San Diego indoor location formerly known as 'Cane’s Cantina until early 2010. The 'Cane’s location's recent fire and subsequent damage have forced the postponement to allow time for repairs and remodeling.

10/1/2009 | Electric Factory On Sale/Support
This is the first installment of a new type of announcement. A bit more personal, a little more informal, and with a bit more insight from the band - blog style. I go first. Wanted to tell you about the Thanksgiving shows. First off, I am super excited for the shows. There is just something about the Electric Factory and the Disco Biscuits. Magic happens for us. Maybe it is just the level of comfort, having played there as much as anywhere. The energy is just insane. A friend of mine who works for another big jamband once came to see the Biscuits at the Factory and he was blown away at the energy the crowd brings there. He said he had never seen anything like it.
This Thanksgiving, we decided to bring the house down one more time, all while staying local for the holiday. I plan on making these shows epic. While we attempt to make every night the best, you just know going into the Factory that it is going to be amazing. It's just home.
Getting prepared for their first appearance at Caribbean Holidaze, we will be joined by the Omega Moos on Saturday . If you haven't seen them yet, it's Brendan and Ryan from Umphrey's and Darren and Jamie from the New Deal. And oh yeah, they are playing all 80's covers. It is fun, ridiculous, and hilarious all at once. Omega Moos is a party band and we are looking to party at the Factory.
So come join us for the party, come to Philadelphia for Thanksgiving weekend, we intend to make it one of the best of this already memorable year. Some years you remember more than others. 1999 was a definitive year for the Biscuits. I'll never forget it. 2009 has been the same thing for me. I will never forget this year we have all had together. Let's keep it rocking!
A limited number of 2-day passes (discounted ticket price and you will pay only one service fee) will go on sale tomorrow, Friday October 2nd at Noon Eastern. Individual night tickets will go on sale Friday, October 9th at www.ticketmaster.com.
See you on the road.

We know the word is getting out so we thought we would confirm the good news: The Biscuits close out our most memorable year of touring yet in style, with two hometown Thanksgiving shows at the Electric Factory and five New Years Run shows at the Nokia Theater!
Wrapping up what many have called the peak year of Biscuits 2.0, these holiday shows are guaranteed to serve up heaping portions of the best we have to offer, so don't eat too much turkey, and remember to leave a little room for Biscuits at the Factory. What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than hitting the Factory for two nights with the hometown crew!?! We will be posting up in the Factory on Fri-Sat, Nov. 27 and 28!
After the success of last years' seven shows at the Nokia, we know we have found a home in NYC (well, until we make MSG our home, of course). It is time to return back to that home for at least one more New Years Run, one more for the ages! Five nights in TIMES SQUARE, NYC, during the most bustling week of the year! We look forward to returning to the mecca of NYE celebrations. What better place to experience the ball drop than directly below ground from the ball drop? Why won't you go in your home, Ball?
So come and join us for the 2009 Disco Biscuits Holiday Shows! (and oh yeah, don't forget Holidaze, which falls directly between the two holiday runs!)
Stay Tuned to discobiscuits.com for on-sale information and support announcements. Just like any big show, we plan on having the best talent in the world along side of us! Also look out for our annual New Years Late Night series!!!

Starland is now owned and operated by AEG Live (Nokia Theatre, Highline Ballroom, etc.), and their relationship with the Disco Biscuits and our fans is very important to them. In addition to a new security team at the venue (same company as Nokia Theatre) we will have our own security crew working with us to help expedite your entrance into the venue, while still conducting the necessary security checks to ensure your safety. Collaboratively with the folks at Starland, we have developed a plan that will address the concerns and issues raised by our fans.
We expect a great weekend at Starland Ballroom and hope to see you there. It's on all of us to provide a safe and enjoyable weekend - so come prepared to have a great time!
Coming off of our biggest Camp Bisco yet, we are so grateful to have such a great fan-base. Our fans were absolutely amazing at Camp! Standing in a foot of mud, having the time of their lives, while we laid it all out on the table for them. It was truly a circle of energy and we could not be more humbled by the reception we have received in 2009. All we can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!
With Fuji Rock Japan behind us and Summer Tour 2009 in the bag, we look forward to the Fall, one where we'll begin to roll out our newest release, in a series of EPs, leading up to the new full album, Planet Anthem, which will be available in January 2010. The highly anticipated roll out of new tracks has already begun, with the introduction of "Konkrete" at Camp Bisco and the live debut of "You and I" on the Road to Camp Bisco Tour.
It will continue straight through the Fall, as the Biscuits shake up the industry with a plan to release songs from the new album in clusters on 3 EP's planned for fall release. These pristine, studio quality, multi-media digital packages will include singles, remixes, and music videos. The first is due out in September and will be available through the website, on tour, online, and as a limited edition retail package. The next two will have similar content and will be released throughout the fall...in 6 week increments! The mystery surrounding Planet Anthem will slowly, but surely, be solved as the fall rolls on! As a show of appreciation for our fans, we are now offering a free download of both "Konkrete" and "You and I" for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!!
What would a roll out of songs be without a roll out of shows! We are starting our fall tour at our old haunt... the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ on Sept 12 and 13th. From there we fly down to Texas, by way of Fayetteville, where we meet the bus for the beginning of four weekends of road dogging it. The first weekend we play the Palladium in Dallas (Sept. 18) and Stubbs in Austin (Sept 19), our long awaited headlining performance in the music capital of the world! From there we have weekends at the Tabernacle in Atlanta and the Tennessee Theater in Knoxville (Sept 25-26) with special guests Infected Mushroom, TWO NIGHTS at the 9:30 Club (Oct. 2-3), and TWO NIGHTS at the Calvin Theater to end the first leg of the tour (Oct 9-10).
We didn't forget about the West Coast or the Midwest, don't you worry! As previously announced, our Halloween Bash will take place at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago! We are excited to take on the Auditorium, we have heard it is an unbelievable venue. The bill will be insane. We will be joined by our friends The Glitch Mob, Holy Fuck and Orchard Lounge. With returns to Minneapolis, Madison, and Urbana, and a first time play in Kalamazoo, MI, the Midwest run is sure to be as crazy as always!
And two weeks later, we head out to California for a trip highlighted by a TWO NIGHT RUN at The Fillmore in San Francisco on November 20-21! We are ready to bring it back home to Santa Cruz, LA, and San Diego. We are excited to get back out there and play those shows, finally!
Of course we are just as excited to get back to Fayetteville, Oxford, Tuscaloosa, Nashville, Charlotte, Richmond, State College, Burlington, and Hampton Beach so don't feel left out! We like to rage the midweek shows even harder than the weekends!
We are joined by many incredible bands at most of these shows so check the dates for specific information on who will be sharing the stage with us this Fall! Presale for all shows will be at Noon Eastern on Monday, August 2nd.
See you out on tour. - The Disco Biscuits

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!
With Spring Tour behind us, we look towards CAMP BISCO and BISCO INFERNO with great anticipation. In the coming weeks and months, the Biscuits, in the midst of their best year of shows in a decade, go their separate ways for a group of very exciting side shows! With a break ahead of us, and a smattering of Biscuits festivals announced, we bring you the consolidated schedule for these side project dates.

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.

It makes us proud to be joined at Red Rocks by a 2 time Grammy Nominee and living legend. Paul has performed at (and sold out!) Red Rocks several times but he is especially excited this time, as he is looking to introduce his otherworldly talent to the burgeoning live-electronic music scene! So please join our friends RJD2, the New Deal, Z-Trip, Lotus, Orchard Lounge and Paul Oakenfold for what promises to be a magical evening at Red Rocks on May 30th!
The Disco Biscuits regret to announce that due to illness, Ott has cancelled all dates in April 2009, including support scheduled for The Disco Biscuits’ upcoming shows in California. The Disco Biscuits wish their friend Ott a speedy and easy recovery.

Heavyweight Dub Champion will support The Disco Biscuits on April 3, April 4, April 5, April 7, and April 9.
Joining The Disco Biscuits on April 10 at the House of Blues Sunset Strip will be the unique, up-and-coming electronica/hip-hop duo Big Gigantic. Big Gigantic is the latest project from Dominic Lalli (Motet saxophonist/producer) that showcases elements of a DJ and a live band setup. The two-man soundmachine of Lalli and drummer Jeremy Salken will get the crowd moving as they mix live synth, drum, and saxophone with dance floor beats.
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. BLVD’s unconventional mixture of hip-hop vocals, rock guitars, street beats, and sub woofing bass is sure to get the party started on April 11 as The Disco Biscuits wrap up seven shows in California before returning to Philadelphia to kick off the second leg of their Spring Tour.

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.
-Aron, Marc, Allen, Jon

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!
HERE ARE THE NEW JOTR LINE-UPS:
Saturday @ Festival Pier FLAMING LIPS DISCO BISCUITS - 2 sets!! JOSH RITTER BASSNECTAR RJD2 GRIMACE FEDERATION
Sunday @ Great Plaza DEADMAU5 AVETT BROTHERS LOTUS AMERICAN BABIES
JOTR is one of the flagship events of our year and we are as excited as we have ever been for it! We are glad to see it moving to the Festival Pier and we will see you there!

Anything is possible when Aron, Marc, Joe, and Tommy get together. This foursome has created some insanely crazy music and has been dubbed "the best band that was never a band" by some notable music industry heavyweights!

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"

Then on Friday night the Biscuits usher Jazz-Fest into full swing with a tour closing late night show at Tipitina's!

2/6/2008 | April Southeast THREE HOUR TOUR -> on-sale TMRW at Biscotix!
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.

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.

6/4/2007 | 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!
