Random Goodness Vol. 1

So I finally figured out how to use this imeem thing, and it's pretty cool actually. I figure if it works, this can be a regular feature of el bloggo.

So here's some random goodness. Enjoy!



The Phish is from 12-31-93 Worcester.
The Tea Leaf Green is from 10-13-07 at the Echo Project.
The Disco Biscuits is from 12-31-06 in Camden.
The Umphrey's is from 12-31-07 at the Aragon.

Camp Bisco VII Lineup


The Disco Biscuits just released the lineup for the seventh installment of Camp Bisco, which will take place July 17-19 in Mariaville, New York. Early bird tickets are $120 and can be found along with other information here.

Confirmed artists include The Disco Biscuits all 3 nights, Snoop Dogg (performing with a live band), DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist, MSTRKRFT, Younger Brother Live, 2020 Soundsystem, The New Deal, !!!, Tea Leaf Green, Lotus, Fiction Plane, RAQ, LA Riots, Dubwar NYC, Future Rock,

The Bridge, Telepath, and U-Melt.

I really could not be more excited about this festival. Although sometimes inconsistent, no one else out there can touch the Disco Biscuits when they have an on night. Although I caught a few lackluster Biscuits' shows in '07, Langerado really reminded me why I love this band. I can only imagine what Snoop is like in a live setting, but I always enjoy watching hippies twirl and hula-hoop to rap music. Tea Leaf Green literally gets better every time I see them.

I'm also excited about what this festival does not have: Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, and Michael Franti.
