Hey all! Last night I went with some friends to the Disco Biscuits show at the Tweeter. Needless to say, this concert was a good smack upside the head for me. I was on 2.5 hits of acid, 1 e, smoked a TON of weed, and had a little bit of coke (bleh...). That crowd was... disgusting. So many people so utterly obsessed with drugs thinking that they will escape. Every single person I talked to was nervous, twitchy, and sketchy and I became just like them. The vibe was just so terribly wrong for tripping on acid, you can't have drunks and crackheads and opiate addicts and who knows what else all standing in close proximity without having very awkward interactions. I could rant and rant and tell you guys all about the rest of the concert, but you get the general idea of what I'm saying. If your going to take acid, PLEASE save yourself the aggravation and DON'T trip around others who aren't tripping. The Disco Biscuits, although they have some good material, have an EXTREMELY repetitive jam vocabularly (mainly consisting of mm-ts with some little synth noises here and there). Where has the pure psychedelic scene gone? Was there ever one? I want to talk to humble people with no fucking ego bullshit and no one acting better than anyone else. I guess that's just a pipe dream nowadays... Fuck Drugs
wow man... what did you expect it was a rave... lol? I was at the bisco show last night only because I couldn't get tickets Dark Star Orchestra's new years eve show. To tell you the truth man I had an excellent time. The disco biscuits are not really that talented, but it was a big ass party on new years non-the-less. Bassnectar had a killer ass set that started at 3am and went until like 5 in morning. I was on about .3 some pure mdma that I brought to the show, some potent doses, a little K, and I was smoking some killer ganja. Oddly enough, my friends and I commented on how relaxed the atmosphere at the show was. Maybe you should lay of the old cocaine my man. Sounds like you were a tweaker at the tweeter.
Yeah I was really looking to go to Dark Star but like you said the tickets were sold out. The cocaine was definitely part of why I had a bad time, but there was a lot of stuff on my mind last night. Here and there I noticed a relaxed atmosphere, but for the most part I kept noticing a lot of bad vibes from the crowd. It just seemed like no one there was truely having a spectacular time and that everyone was just pretending to be happy. That was my first and last time doing coke by the way. I just wanted to get my curiosity out of the way to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Bassnectar was ok, but my head was just shot by the end of the night. All that running around wore me down pretty damn fast. Do you rememeber the name of the opening act? They were fantastic and I was feeling really good when they were on. Where were your seats? I was in the back in between the second and third section from the left, but we were all over the place for a lot of the show.
I chilled on shakedown until the middle of keller's set... so I am not sure who played first. The PEX was playing through out the night in the side room. My seat was in section 203 row C.... but I was walking around most of the night.
coke and acid is a very strange mixture, plus your E coulda had meth in it too, makin things even more edgy
in comparison to the Dark Star scene I would agree that bisco is lame. But compaired to sitting around my house doing absolutely nothing on new years eve it was a good time.
i dropped with a few buddies, sat around and listened to the WP broadcast. and watching the sts9 broadcast at setbreaks. I had a lot of fun, almost as good as going to alanta
i feel ya I wish I could go make my own commune id have acid parties all the time itd be like a magic utopia in a forest theres got to be places like that out there somewhere...
a cult is a small religion. not all cults use rituals. a cult is basically a small group of people with similar beliefs. a commune is what you need and a cult is what people will call it. we are looking for some sort of community our selves. if we could move away from it all great but that costs money. although we live in a large city we feel like there is no real community. finding people on our wavelength is difficult these days.
well i wasn't there, but i'm pretty confused as to how there was negative vibes coming from the crowd. I've only went to 3 bisco shows, but all of them the crowd energy was amazing, and everyone seemed so happy and really into the music. Maybe it was the odd combination of drugs that you took that night like everyone else says.
Well whats the point of going to a concert? What is the point of a band playing music? The point of a concert is to go see some excellent live music that is played purely from the heart. Musicians have different reasons for playing, but if their reason for playing music is only to make money or to provide an atmosphere for drug use, then they are cheapening the music world. Playing music for money is what killed the music business (IE MTV). Playing music solely for drug use is what attracts a crowd that are purely drug users and not music lovers. These same people will then go and say the 'music' they listen to is better than anything else. When I was there, there was no disputing the negative vibe. If you asked every person in the Tweeter if they would be there if it weren't for drugs, I can assure you the most popular answer would be 'fuck no'. The happiness in that place was a drug-induced lie. When you go to a concert that has a motivation of love of music, the happiness in the air is unbelievable. I've been to enough concerts to know this. Sure, at nearly every concert some people will be there only to get high, but if the band is playing from the heart and the crowd (sober and intoxicated) truely loves the music, the atmosphere just breathes and feels alive. The Disco Biscuits concert didn't have that living atmosphere, it just felt commercialized, plastic, and wrong.
Ive been to a lot of bisco shows/lots and i really like them... and ive always been sober. the crowd always has so much energy and the lot scene is huge, especially in Philly. i agree that the majority of the folks at the shows are gross and shady, you can spot a bisco fan a mile away. but some of the most legit hookups ive found have been bisco fans. i like the disco biscuits music sober, or tripping. but its not only the music i go for. i go for the energy, the recreation of the rave scene, the extension of the party from the show to the lot. ive been to bisco shows where i leave the show and walk to my car only to find 6 people sitting on it inhaling nitrous balloons... some people would get mad at that, i just decided to buy my own baloons and join them. bisco lots are fun, and different from any other bands lot... other than sts9 which is very similar. next time ya go to see bisco, bring the party!!! PS. bigblondeafro87 if you want to see a local jersey band that brings huge amounts of positive energy check out the Natural Breakdown live.
