Bisco Inferno at Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Philadelphia’s The Disco Biscuits have called their music a “trance-fusion of spontaneous techno jazz-rock,” and that jumble works well enough to describe a style marked by intriguing turns and occasionally awkward unions. The DBs' albums trade in extended journeying through eccentric twists and hairpin turns, but their M.O. has always been more Frank Zappa than Grateful Dead. The live show combines elements of jazz fusion, jam-band spaciness, and New Order-esque, synthesized danceability—a sound that’s easy to wiggle to. They appear here behind their long-in-the-making fifth album, Planet Anthem, which reportedly veers away from the Biscuits' noodling tendencies toward a sound grounded in pop and Philly’s hip-hop scene.
