Earlier this year, the Disco Biscuits hit the newest venue in their hometown, The Fillmore Philadelphia, for three incredible nights of their brand of trance-fusion. The band has been on a tear as of late, focusing on interesting song choices that explore the entire Bisco canon of original material, along with setlists that seamlessly segue from one song to the next with little to no break in music. Essentially, they are making a solid case as to why they are the best improvisation-based band in the scene today.
The Disco Biscuits Are Bringing ‘City Bisco’ To NYC For Three Summer Nights
As the band gears up for some major summer performances (Red Rocks, Camp Bisco, City Bisco), they’ve taken the liberty of sharing full set videos from the first two nights of their three-night run. The “Strobelights and Martinis> Air Song> Vassillios> Moshi Fameus” into “Magellan” to end the first set on 2/5/16 was a pretty tasty nugget from the run. Just sayin’. Witness the magic of the band’s February 4th and 5th performances below, some of their finest work to date:
