Bisco WarZ: The Tronce-Formation of America’s Favorite Electronic Music Festival

By Oh Werd at August 10, 2010 | 8:15 am | 7 Comments

A long time ago in a Bisco galaxy far, far away… It is a period of glow stick warz. Bisco basShips, striking from the 1st annual Camp Bisco festival, have won their first festival victory against the Phish Empire. During the battle, the rebel Disco Biscuits managed to steal secret plans about the Phish Empire’s ultimate weapon, the TRONCE STAR, an more...

Camp Bisco 9 – Day 3 – EPIC

By dizzurt at August 2, 2010 | 10:56 pm | 0 Comment

Saturday is a day of culmination. The pinnacle of raging. The daytime was a time for everyone to gather their thoughts, leg strength and unused party gear for one last hoorah. With the bikers telling us the morning before that The Dome couldn't rage past the music of the dance tent, the crew knew we had to let it all out at the evening Biscuits sets and Rusko more...

Camp Bisco 9 – Day 2 – Keepin’ it Mooovin

By dizzurt at July 29, 2010 | 10:28 pm | 3 Comments

Too hot to sleep inside tents (but an improvement over last year's rivers of mud), I was up bright and early getting ready for Beats Antique. This performance was their third different rendition I've seen. (Watch Junktion) It was a live set, sparkled by Zoe Jakes wooing the crowd with her incredible mechanical gyrations. The crowd was just as excited as the band (who more...

"Bis-co! Rus-ko!, Bis-co! Rus-ko!" Thats about the last thing I remember before it was time to pack up and head home, after a full weekend of festival mania. And those words ring truer than any other I can remember, while recovering from the festival I had just attended. Camp Bisco - in Mariaville, NY for it's fourth year now- is a place where Rusko and the like can more...

By: Mike Grieco This was my first time at the All Good Music Festival in West Virginia, and let me tell you, it was beautiful. Upon entering the state, the sign read Welcome To Wild And Wonderful West Virginia and it was spot on. Marvin's Mountaintop was the perfect place for good times and good vibes.

WAKA-aRe-U.S.A (Part 4 of 4)

By ranchsauce at June 27, 2010 | 10:00 am | 1 Comments

My friends who did not make the long drive from dreary New England to the spacious mountains of Ozark, Arkansauce have all been asking me what Wakarusa was like. I try to think of different ways to describe this year's festival, but can only reply that "it was a fantasy land." It was my second trip to the magical Mulberry Mountain, and I am convinced that it exists as more...

Satellite Stranger Ragers & Sunrises in Which We Will Never Forget (Part 3 of 4)

Being a professional at late night rage-a-thons, and knowing some of my favorite producers/DJ's were in the top slots at the Satellite Stage, got my juices flowing and the jitters tingling, feeling like a 120watt bulb amped by the Hoover Dam. The Sunrise 3, as I will appropriately don them, were quite the nightcaps for a festival which flowed through music better than more...

Wakarusa: “It’s a Movement” (Part 2 of 4) feat. Grassroots California Interview

By Caelila at June 18, 2010 | 11:28 am | 2 Comments

What made Wakarusa so special this year is something completely intangible. It wasn't the mindblowing lineup, sophisticated synthesis of genres, pure beauty of Mulberry Mountain, or hidden waterfall (which looked and felt straight out of Peter Pan's Neverland, complete with fairies, mermaids and Indians). All of these factors certainly contributed to Waka's unique more...

It was only The Disco Biscuits' second time playing Wakarusa, and their first trip to Mulberry Mountain.

The Main Stage field filled with local festival goers who had yet to catch a Biscuits show, as well as experienced fans- many of whom thought they had the more...
