Disco Biscuits have added a pair of late-night shows to their fall tour. The Philadelphia-bred act will appear at Atlantic City, NJ’s The Tropicana Showroom on Friday, October 2 and Saturday, October 3. The gigs will kick off after Phish play nearby at Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall. The Disco Biscuits have a rich history of Atlantic City performances, dating back to 1997. Of note, they played a famed show at the Grand Caymon Ballroom on October 25, 2002, where they chose their song selections based on fans spilling roulette wheels on the side of the stage. They also held a two-night “drum off” competition in 2005 where they selected Allen Aucoin as their new drummer.
The quartet are currently in the middle of a Southern swing. Last night at Asheville, NC’s Third Room, they offered a cover of Raf Rundell’s “More You Know” for the first time as the Disco Biscuits, after performing the track in their electronic Tractorbeam configuration on July 6. They also sampled Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” a tribute to the late singer during “Morph Dusseldorf.” Likewise, a night earlier at Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse, they, appropriately, sampled a bit of Ray Charles’ “Georgia on My Mind” during “M.E.M.P.H.I.S.”
Disco Biscuits will return to the Third Room tonight.
