Additionally, there’s the sizeable fact that New York City is, quite frankly, the place to be for New Years Eve, not Miami unless, of course, you are the members of Phish or Lady GaGa and her crew. First of all, Phish was to put on a 4 night run whereas The Disco Biscuits were to host a 5 night run that really lasted 6 nights, as there was an intermediary night of performances dedicated to many of their side projects. 2009 was a momentous year for both bands, but for many of us there was no debate. In turn, many jamband fans found themselves torn between Phish and The Disco Biscuits for their New Year’s Eve plans. * TranceFusion Radio Broadcast Vol.New Years Eve is the final opportunity of the year for bands to rage with their fans and leave a positive lasting impression. * Encephalous Crime (self-released, 1996) Bandmembers from both Umphrey's and Bisco have further more found each other in The Brain Damaged Eggmen, a Pink Floyd and The Beatles coverband (Disco-Umphrey's McGee-Biscuits) tour with Umphrey's McGee. In 2007, the band co-headlined the D.U.M.B. The band announced that Allen Aucoin would replace Altman as the full-time drummer on 12/12/05, ending months of speculation. The band had toured only sporadically from the end of the summer of 2003 until Sammy's official departure was confirmed. On 11/5/04 The Disco Biscuits announced that drummer Sam Altman was leaving the band to attend medical school. The band has 2 rock operas as part of their catalog: the Hot Air Balloon (written by guitarist Jon Gutwillig) and the Chemical Warfare Brigade (written by bassist Marc Brownstein). On the other hand, many are fascinated by the game of "what song are they going to play next", and are disappointed when their ears are attuned enough to know the answers in advance. This forces the listener to be immediately willing to immerse themselves in the Disco Biscuits' large catalog, which can prove to be a rather overwhelming task for novices to undertake. The nature of their setlists is both a blessing and a curse while the myriad variations on their songs are interesting to hardcore fans of the band, it can confuse people who are not already familiar with their catalog. Another technique employed by the band is a fakeout, which occurs when the band plays a jam that usually leads into one song, but segues into another unexpectedly.ĭue to the separation of their segments, dyslexic songs can begin on one night's show and end the next night. A dyslexic song is played the same way as an inverted one, with its main difference being that the pieces of the song are not played consecutively (e.g. The Disco Biscuits are also well-known for their ability to run long sets together, sometimes even playing their songs backwards, in styles referred to as "inverted" and "dyslexic." An inverted version of a song occurs when the band starts a song by playing its ending segment, followed immediately by its beginning segment and a jam that segues out of that song and into another. Formed in 1995 at the University of Pennsylvania, the group has quickly emerged as one of the most successful independent bands in the country. This style is referred to generally as trance-fusion. Comprised of Jon Gutwillig (vocals/guitar), Marc Brownstein (vocals/bass), Aron Magner (keyboard/vocals), and Allen Aucoin (drums), the quartet continues to bridge the gap between the jamband and electronica/dance worlds by drawing on elements from seemingly disparate genres.
