The Disco Biscuits' songs are written for the live show and a record then results - not the other way around.īansal (fka Speakerbot) is the latest project from dj/ producer Aashish Bansal. They've been known to break into a classical piece - or a slice of classic jazz - in the middle of an extended rock jam. Their highly danceable style - guitarist/lead vocalist Jon Gutwillig has declared that the goal of the group is to create the wildest (or craziest) music of all time - has been dubbed "trance fusion" and has drawn some comparisons to Frank Zappa (even though the band members themselves don't hear it). In addition to their own shows, they toured in support of Merl Saunders, The Black Crowes, The Jerry Garcia Band, and Morphine. In 1996 they released their indie debut, Encephalous Crime. The Disco Biscuits are an entirely different band today than they were when they first broke out of Philadelphia in the mid-90s. They started out with frat party gigs all over Philly but quickly moved to the nightclub scene. Jon "The Barber" Gutwillig, Marc Brownstein, Sam Altman, and Aron Magner met on the University of Pennsylvania campus and formed the Disco Biscuits there in late 1995. Please review our updated health and safety protocols here.Ī jam band active since 1995, the Disco Biscuits play a distinct blend of rock, techno, jazz, soul, blues, and classical music that quickly took them to the upper echelon of the jam-roots-groove scene.
