Love ‘em or hate ‘em – you have to respect how far The Disco Biscuits have come from their frat party days at Penn. It’s not easy to sustain a nearly 15 year career in this fickle music industry, especially with little radio airplay. But they did it the old-fashion way – by hitting the road and building their legion of rabid “tree-thugger” fans one show at a time. Moving away from the Phish covers that once were found in their setlists in the early days, The Disco Biscuits changed the landscape of the Jamband scene when they introduced their hybrid of electronica and live music which they dubbed “Trance fusion” spawning a whole generation of imitators (well, too many in my opinion, but imitation is the highest form of flattery). This evening they begin a two-night run at the TLA to celebrate their latest release Planet Anthem, their most radio-friendly album to date containing collaborations from such artists as Don Cheegro and Dirt Harry (Ludacris, Beanie Sigel), Damon Dash (co-founder of Roca-a-fella Records) and Tu Phace. But don’t worry my little “tree-thuggers”, there will still be plenty of techno dance beats, headies and psychedelics to get you to the after-party at the hotie.
