Disco Biscuits 4/20

I realize this blog is a little late, but better late than never. Plus I had to wait until Monday so I could write about my experience at the Disco Biscuits concert. That Monday was a very special Monday out of the year, being on a very perfect day in the middle of April, and the Disco Biscuits had come to celebrate what many call a holiday. After filling myself on beer and roast beef at a bar called Duffy's across the street, my two companions and I strolled over to the end of a massive line, which led to the doors of the 930 cluib. I was lucky enough to have two fine females on either arm, which was a smart move on my part since I anticipated the extensive night of dancing ahead of us. Once inside the doors the band was already playing its first set and a pulse was felt through the crowd as fans moved to the heavy beat. A sweet smell lingered in the air as lights swirled around the venue. The new $250.000 sound system blasted with a low end that gripped your heart but with a clear high end that articulated every beat. After doing several shots, the three of us were ready to dive into the bumping throng.
The Disco Biscuits are a simple four piece (keys, guitar, bass, and drums) but know how to keep the crowd moving with their as they slowly accelerate and build tension. The amazing thing about their grooves is that they never stop. One song blends into the other without missing a beat, so the crowd never gets a chance to take a break. Grinding and bumping for over an hour the first set finally ended. Drenched in sweat we ran to the bar to re-fuel before the next set. We were all feeling fatigued from the unending music but once the band was back on stage, the feeling melted away. The second set seemed longer than the first and my limbs became numb as they bounced weightlessly to the pulse of the band. Finally after a 20 minute encore, the show was over, after approximately four hours of solid music.
Although the band can get repetitive and tiring to listen to off a cd at home, the Disco Biscuits live shows are something you cannot miss. With the thumping jam-band-dance music style you will get more than you payed for. What a great way to celebrate 4/20.
