Tour Dates: Disco Biscuits, EOTO, and Lotus
Some of the best electronic jambands touring these days are all heading out on the road this fall. I figured I'd round it all up into a quick and easy post. First things first -- The Disco Biscuits just played their frequent haunt in Sayreville, NJ and debuted... more
Review: Holy Fuck @ The Independent, San Francisco 8/27/09
Last Thursday night I got to see one of my favorite bands to see live, Holy Fuck, but the show left a little bit to be desired in my opinion. Maybe it's because I had seen them like, five times the previous year and accepted the fact that their... more
Jam in the ‘Dam 2010
It was a little over three years ago that I first attended Jam in the 'Dam, the greatest tiny music festival you could ever wish for as an American jamband fan (or as a Dutch jamband fan, for that matter). For three nights I got to see my four... more
Phish “Save the Date” Halloween Festival Update: Pinball Wizard Style
Phish put up another update to their "Save the Date" Halloween Festival map in the style of a pinball machine, with the pinball knocking out five more states in the quest to the truth on where this festival is going to take place. There was some discussion around how... more
Photos: Disco Biscuits @ Rothbury 2009
It's time to get posting some of the great stuff that our man Chris Monaghan came up while he was at Rothbury Music Festival last weekend while I was chilling at High Sierra. Here's the first of many.
Jamtronia Supergroup Younger Brother in New York City Tonight
Have you guys heard of this Younger Brother thing? For some reason I thought this was a totally new project, but I guess I wasn't paying attention last year when the original announcements came out. Younger Brother LIVE is Simon Posford (Shpongle), Benji Vaughan (Prometheus), Marc Brownstein (The Disco Biscuits),... more
Rothbury Webcast Schedule, Plus Updates from High Sierra
Justin's currently on his way to High Sierra for the weekend festivities in Northern Cali, so he's left me in charge of the reigns here at LMB. Uh oh! That means it's time for a never-ending stream of workout mixes and long essays on the concert industry. Kidding aside, hopefully Justin... more
Live Music Tech: Interview with Nate Parienti of iClips.net
iClips.net has been webcasting and streaming live events for several years now, but it seems like the site has begun to really pick up steam in the last few years, particularly with its heavy focus on the music festival scene in the U.S. As the live music streaming space continues to grow... more
Rothbury 2009 Ticket Giveaway
The second incarnation of Rothbury Festival is back on the Fourth of July weekend with a lineup that will satisfy any jamband fan living in these great independent states, and I'm just now getting around to posting the lineup for everyone to see (not that you haven't already seen this... more
Disco Biscuits: New Summer Tour Dates and Podcast
Mas Bisco? Si, por favor! We posted an update on a bunch of Disco Biscuits news the other day, but the band has since announced a number of additional summer dates in the lead-up to Camp Bisco. The tour, aptly titled "The Road to Camp Bisco Tour," includes dates in Pennsylvania,... more
Disco Biscuits: Camp Bisco VIII, Bisco Inferno and Side Project Dates
The Disco Biscuits just capped off a Winter/Spring Tour that many fans feel was one of their strongest and most consistent tours in the last few years. The band also finalized plans for the eighth incarnation of their signature music festival, Camp Bisco, which takes place July 16-18, returning again... more
Tour Dates: Future Rock (w/ Shout Out Out Out Out, Lotus)
photo by sebastien.b As a Chicago native, I'm always proud to give a shout-out to Chi-town bands. I lived in Chicago for about four years and was able to catch Future Rock rock out the local club circuit a number of times with their unique brand of live electronic rock. In... more
Tunes: 10-Year Anniversary of Bisco 4.9.99
Greetings LMB readers! Whit here...good to be back! It's going to take me a little more time to fully work my way back into the LMB fold, but I thought I'd better go ahead and drop my initial post so that I can get back into the swing of things. As... more
Tour Dates: Lotus with BLVD, Big In Japan, Festivals, Etc.
Photo © Sam Friedman Lotus is right at the start of a mini-tour on the East Coast before they head to Whistler, B.C. and then onto Jazz Fest, Summer Camp, and tons of other festivals this year. I haven't heard them lately and don't really know how well they're latest... more
Disco Biscuits Cancel West Coast Run
Sad news out of the Bisco camp the other day: "Due to a family emergency," The Disco Biscuits have canceled the remaining four shows on their current West Coast run (Santa Cruz, San Diego and two Los Angeles shows). There is very little information available and the band asks that we... more
Heady Links
I'm loving the fact that I'm getting back into the swing of things here on LMB. We've got some cool stuff coming and the as-promised return to form of the old blog that we really loved writing, so thanks to all the folks that have been stopping by and... more
Heady Links | New Year’s Eve Preview Edition
The live music universe is a world filled with ebbs and flows of energy; when things get busy, they really get busy and then there will be a down period. Suffice to say that in Chicago, right when that 90 day limit Lollapalooza puts on its performers finishes, October is... more
Trinumeral 2008 | Small Festival Perfection in NC
All photos by James Y LMB contributor, Mike S., has continued to hook us up with interesting festival reviews. Here's his latest from the smaller Trinumeral festival outside of Asheville, NC. Last week, as I realized how quickly another summer was beginning to fade, I started to seek out one last weekend... more
Weekly Roundup | Lollapalooza Hangover
Lollapalooza wrapped up yesterday and the live music world is going to be a bit tired today processing all the great stuff that came out of Grant Park this year, and I can't stop thinking about the Radiohead performance on Friday night. I caught a video of the highlight... more
Lollapalooza 2008 | Day Two Preview
Now that Justin has properly filled everyone in on what to see at Lollapalooza Day 1, I'll take the reigns and give everyone some can't misses for Saturday's action. In my opinion Saturday has the best line-up top to bottom, including two of the top three headliners -- guess the... more
Disco Biscuits Announce NYE Run in NYC
The Disco Biscuits just announced that they are coming back to New York City for New Year's Eve. With My Morning Jacket at Madison Square Garden and now Bisco setup for five nights at the Nokia Theater, the Big Apple is shaping up to be the obvious choice for... more
All Good 2008 | Some Photos and Highlights
The All Good Music Festival came and went in a flash of beautiful West Virginia mountain sun and jammy improvisational madness. Overall, the event was less the well-oiled machine than some of its larger festival rivals. But what it lacked in organization and "we think of everything" cohesion, it... more
Weekly Roundup | It’s All Good
Whitperson was texting me yesterday from All Good and he seemed like he was having an absolute blast. Hopefully we'll get some updates from him once he gets some rest. As for my weekend, I caught a fantastic show last night at Cafe Du Nord and forgot to... more
Camp Bisco VII | Schedule Announced
Although providing a jam "intervention" for Kyle Gass of Tenacious D is a big deal, throwing your own festival is much bigger. The Disco Biscuits' own Camp Bisco VII kicks off next weekend in Mariaville, NY. We've known about their full lineup for a while now, but they've just announced the... more
Manic-Groove Loss Syndrome
Disco Biscuits Intervention [YouTube] It looks like Kyle Gass was having a problem with his groove at Rothbury this year, and the boys in the Disco Biscuits came to the rescue with a seemingly impromptu groove session on the back of their bus. If being a jamband rockstar and dicking... more
Weekly Roundup | Tea Leaf Two-Night Edition
Last night, I caught the first night of the Tea Leaf Green two-night run here in San Francisco; the Great American Music Hall is the room and it's a fantastic room for the band and the size of their audience in attendance last night. I was never too cramped... more
The Bays | Live Electronic Dance Music With An Orchestra?
It's been quite some time since I've written about the Bays. These guys really continue to push the envelope with live, improvised electronic dance music. You might compare them to U.S. acts doing similar styles (the Disco Biscuits, STS9, Lotus), but their whole schtick is that they do not... more
Bonnaroo 2008 Preview | The Only Schedule to Follow…
Posting a Bonnaroo preview is a daunting task. Six years ago when I attended it was arduous to see all the bands I was sweet on and now there are triple the number of acts. I can't imagine trying to see anywhere near half of the bands listed on the... more
Heady Links
In a continued set of signals that Trey is back, Mr. Anastasio showed up at a Clapton gig last night at Jones Beach to sit in with opener, Robert Randolph. Big Red joined Randolph and his Family Band for a few tunes, including "Deliver Me" and "I Need More Love,"... more
The Jammys @ WaMu Theater, NYC 5/7/08
After a few technical difficulties, our full review of the Jammys. Better late than never. Had I studied Cultural Anthropology in school rather than Architecture I would have been fascinated by the scene outside Madison Square Garden last Wednesday night as the hippy masses and Jay-Z fans stormed the gates.... more
Photos: Pnuma Trio & Eliot Lipp @ The Lakeshore Theater, Chicago 5/16/08
Two Friday's ago, Pnuma Trio played The Lakeshore Theater here in Chicago and the superb Eliot Lipp opened the show for the Memphis based trio. The show was really, really solid with an awesome opening set from the down tempo/hip-hop guru Eliot Lipp. This was my first time seeing Pnuma... more
