After an incredible New Year’s run down at The Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA, The Disco Biscuits are now setting their sights on a triumphant return to their hometown of Philadelphia from February 2nd-4th. There’s never any shortage of fun when the Biscuits hit their hometown, as the energy in the room is always palpable whenever the band hits the stage. The group will return to The Fillmore Philadelphia for the run, and today has announced stellar supporting acts for each night of the three-night stand.
Joining the Biscuits will be up and coming jam band Aqueous on February 2nd. The group is coming off a stellar 2016, having released two EPs and recently rang in the New Year with Twiddle. The Buffalo-based, high-energy band is poised bring it in 2017, and will prove to the Bisco faithful why they are the real deal.
On February 3rd, the fiery Philly funk extravaganza that is Swift Technique will get things heated up at The Fillmore nice and early. The band has supported everybody from the Wu-Tang Clan to The Meters, and Turkuaz to The Motet, and more for a reason. They bring that straight up F-U-N-K right to your trunk.
And on February 4th, what else needs to be said about long-time friend and Electron cohort Tom Hamilton and his American Babies that hasn’t been said already? The Joe Russo’s Almost Dead guitarist is one of the busiest musician’s in the scene, between that project, Billy & The Kids (with Aron Magner), playing with Bob Weir, and….do we really need to keep going? Tom Hamilton’s American Babies is one of the best original projects going in the scene, hands down.
Whenever the Disco Biscuits ascend onto Philly, the shows tend to be of epic proportions, and these shows are sure to be no different. With old friends and new, expect some exciting collaborations to punctuate an awesome three night hometown run. Tickets for all three shows are currently on-sale and can be purchased here.
