The Disco Biscuits at Bourbon Ballroom (12 Jul 24)

The Disco Biscuits

The Disco Biscuits are a pioneering name in the “jamtronica” music scene, expertly blending genres like rock, electronic, jazz, and more into a cohesive and immersive live experience. Formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1995, the band consists of Allen Aucoin (drums), Marc Brownstein (bass guitar, vocals), Jon Gutwillig (guitar, vocals), and Aron Magner (keyboard, vocals). Known for their distinctive style, The Disco Biscuits have carved out a unique niche by combining the improvisational elements of jam bands with the dance-ready beats of electronic music.

Influences: The Disco Biscuits’ sound is largely influenced by the Grateful Dead’s jam band ethos and the electronic-infused rock of bands like Kraftwerk and Orbital. They also draw from a wide array of other influences including jazz, psychedelia, and classical music, which contribute to their complex, layered performances.

Representative Songs:

• “Helicopters” - This track is a fantastic representation of their ability to weave in and out of anthemic choruses and intense improvisational segments.
• “Morph Dusseldorf” - Showcases their tighter, more structured electronic side, with a driving beat and an infectious groove.
• “Confrontation” - Perfectly encapsulates their blend of upbeat rhythms with intricate, melodious rock influences.

Whether you’re already a fan or new to their music, witnessing a Disco Biscipped concert is an enthralling experience defined by their innovative sound, light shows, and the free-spirited energy they bring live.
