Live Music: Other

7 pm

With the release of The Wind at Four to Fly, the Disco Biscuits have entered their second decade as one of the most successful acts on the jam band circuit.
    In the years since the band sprang out of the University of Pennsylvania party scene in the mid-90s, the Disco Biscuits have brought together the worlds of jam bands and electronic music with its sound that mixes the free-form improvisations of jazz with the hypnotic rhythms which provided the soundtrack for rave culture. In the process, the band has won critical acclaim and a loyal fan base.
    The title of the double-CD live set is taken from “Morph Dusseldorf,” the Biscuits classic song that closes the first disc with over 12 minutes of psychedelic weirdness.
    “It’s a colorful lyric from that song that illustrates the kinds of changes that are the theme of the album,” said Jon Gutwillig, guitar & vocals. “Although it’s sort of a nonsensical line, we felt it suited the album.”
    The 11-track set manages to span the band’s career, although the bulk of the material has never been officially released.
    “A guy like Peter Frampton can make one seminal live album, because he pretty much plays the same set every night,” Gutwillig said. “But our stuff is so different from night to night. We get bored doing the same thing so we always do things with different keys and different rhythms.
