Here at HIHF, we aren’t just about the beeps and the boops; we also get down with the heady jams! On March 14th, The Disco Biscuits pulled up to New Haven’s College Street Music Hall to deliver plenty of tasty jams to the pizza capital! Opening up for the boys was the incredibly talented Karina Rykman. Armed with her bass and an arsenal of jams, they threw down an electric performance and loosened up the dance floor before TDB blew the roof off the venue.

As the Biscuits took to the stage, the crowd uproared in excitement. I gripped the rail with both hands and mentally prepared myself for my first Biscuits show in over a year. The boys wasted no time melting the faces of their fans with an extra saucy Magellan sampled with Bob Marley’s “Red Red Wine.” This led in to one of my favorite tracks off their brand new Revolution In Motion album, “Twisted In The Road.”  

The second set practically transported me back to the days of Camp Bisco Festival. Kicking off the second set with my favorite Biscuits song, “Caterpillar,” they sandwiched the entire set in the sauciest “Caterpillar” in all my years of seeing the boys, both opening and closing the second set with this transcendental anthem. This included a first-ever inverted “Fire Will Exchange” and another Revolution In Motion original, “To Be Continued.” 

The entire Why We Dance tour was gearing up fans for the release of their long-awaited album, Revolution In Motion. On March 29th, New York’s iconic Webster Hall opened its doors to The Biscuits for the first time since 1998, for the flooding of TDB fans all excited for the band’s ninth studio album release. This “space opera” marks the band’s first album release in ten years. Fans attending the sold-out show were gifted two special sets, unleashing every song off the new album in all its glory. Accompanying the band were special guest appearances from Erin Boyd, Matteo Scammell and Cloudchord.

The boys were on fire that night, to say the least. With every performance leading up to an unbelievably explosive showing, they effortlessly jammed out each song as if they’d been playing them since the early days of their tenured jamtronica careers. The fluidity on stage was a sight to behold, as the members converse with and speak to each other through their instrumentation. Witnessing each song gracefully segueing into the next, keeping the fans on their toes as they stamped their feet, was truly a sight to be seen at Webster Hall.

I also have to mention the Webster Hall show’s fifth and sixth members of the show, the lights and lasers that make The Disco Biscuits not only an exceptional audio experience, but also an exceptional visual experience by Herm Schneider and the album’s visuals made possible by Blunt Action and Todd Kushnir.

If you didn’t get the opportunity to experience The Disco Biscuits yet on the Why We Dance tour, don’t fret! Fourteen performances remain, including multiple sets at this year’s Biscoland! If you miss Camp Bisco as much as we do here at HIHF, you won’t want to miss the second year of their new festival Biscoland.
