Fifteen years ago today, The Disco Biscuits raged the Calvin Theater in Northampton, MA. The show was a heater for sure, with the five-song first set opening with “Rivers” before a “House Dog Party Favor” sandwich with an inverted “Crystal Ball” smack-dab in the middle.
The second, unfinished “House Dog” moved straight into the ending of “Above The Waves” to close out the set. The second set opened with a bang, with the band throwing out Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing In The Name”, a track that was more frequently busted out in 2008 and 2009 before dropping off the map in 2013. A full inverted “Crickets” followed, before moving through “Gangster” straight into “I-Man” to close out the four-song second set. To close out the show, the Biscuits ended with a juicy encore of “Mr. Don”.
