The Disco Biscuits rock out in their unique musical smorgasbord style which fuses rock, electronic and classical music. The band met at the University of Pennsylvania in 1995 and started off with frat gigs but made the quick switch to the club scene. Their eclectic live shows gained them a rabid following, making them leaders in the jam and groove scene.
~~~~~~~~
Godfathers of the modern jam band movement, the Disco Biscuits emerged out of Philadelphia in 1995 and quickly became one of the most successful independent bands in the country. The quartet -- originally comprised of guitarist and vocalist Jon "The Barber" Gutwillig, bassist and vocalist Marc Brownstein, keyboardist Ben Hayflick (replaced by Aron Magner in 1995), and drummer Sam Altman (later replaced by Allen Aucoin in 2005) -- is famous for bridging the gap between electronica and psychedelic rock, creating an entire genre known as "trance fusion." Drawing on elements from two seemingly disparate music genres, their compelling rhythms and complex blend of classical, jazz, funk, techno, and soul have mesmerized fans for decades. Not long after the release of their debut album, 1996's Encephalus Crime, the Disco Biscuits toured with the likes of the Jerry Garcia Band, Morphine and The Black Crowes. Since then, they've released 18 albums and two EPs -- an impressive feat for a band with no affiliation to a mainstream record label. Join the Disco Biscuits on tour as they retake the stage in 2022 to experience an epic show that redefines musical performance and artistic expression. Their famous concerts are known to absolutely rock the socks off audiences with over three hours of live, improvisational magic, filled with a mix of EDM, electronic rock and funk. You can also expect some interactive light shows for a truly memorable experience.
