The Disco Biscuits are a band of transformation and invention. The Philadelphia-based group remains the pioneers of "Trance-Fusion" - bridging the gap between electronic dance music and jam rock - while consistently looking for new sonic boundaries to break and avenues to tell stories within.
With two rock operas (1998's Hot Air Balloon / 2000's Chemical Warfare Brigade) amongst the 8 full-length studio albums under their belt, The Biscuits are back with their 9th studio record, a space opera entitled "Revolution in Motion," to be released on March 29th, 2024.
Released in 4 parts and accompanied by comic book-style 3D-animated films, Revolution in Motion tells of an alien species set out to discover and study other life throughout the universe. After partying a little too hard and losing track of their mission, the aliens slip through space in a wormhole, arriving at none other than our planet Earth. Vowing to complete their mission, the aliens set out to abduct and study humans with only The Disco Biscuits able to save their own world, and possibly the alien's world as well.
With a vast touring schedule and ever-changing live shows, The Disco Biscuits' soul belongs as much to marathon dance parties as it does to live improvisational journeys. They employ emerging technologies to help them create music that is 100% human although, perhaps, not entirely of this planet.

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.
