The Disco Biscuits draw both rabid fans and police
Police in Northampton arrested 14 individuals for various charges throughout the weekend of Disco Biscuit shows
Matt Kappel
Officers arrested 14 individuals throughout the weekend of Disco Biscuit shows in Northampton. Five nitrous oxide tanks were confiscated as well as a myriad of drugs. Fans were escorted out of the venue to the hospital as well for overdosing, according to the Massachusetts local news. Balloons filled with nitrous oxide were being sold for five dollars while other drugs were being sold on the streets as well. Officers tracked down tanks by following fans to the location of the sale as well as showing up to reported disturbance complaints. The Massachusetts Local News reports that all arrested individuals are from outside the Northampton area.
Creating electronic music in a party atmosphere, jamming out and even playing songs backwards is just part of what the Disco Biscuits are about. The Disco Biscuits are one of the remaining jam bands left in the game that still has a rabid following. Fans gather from all over to search this band out and dance to the heavy electronic grooves. Since the music creates such a rave/party atmosphere, the scene that appears at concerts always has a strong interest in drugs and expanding on their good times.
Our Take: The Disco Biscuits are without a doubt one of the bigger party bands out there. Fans eat up their electronic tunes while munching out on all sorts of drugs. I’ve seen people removed from Bisco shows myself due to drug overdoses. The band seems to provide an environment that compliments drug use.
There was even one year in which fellow College News writer Steven Schiff and I were in attendance of a New Year’s show. The amount of people outside the venue looking for what they called “extracurriculars” was overwhelming. Schiff and I left the venue only to find fans doing the same thing and some fan screaming about not being able to go to the show, but stealing blueprints.
As we laughed about it that night, we quickly found out online the next day that this kid really did have blueprints. To make a long story short, he was not let into the concert but broke into the building through various vents and ended up in a room, which housed old building files of the venue. After this story and experiencing several Bisco shows, I can unequivocally say that you are in for some sort of treat when you see this band. Just don’t buy it on the street.

The band name comes from slang for Qualudes. No, they're not a drug influenced band...

This article is one of the most poorly written pieces of “journalism” I’ve ever read.

that was terribly written. Also, googling, “The Disco Biscuits” and using urbandictionary.com as a source is laughable. You know you did it.

This article is horrible and I don’t even like the Disco Biscuits. You should be embarrassed that this was “published” on-line and just call it quits now.

list form, follow closely druggies:
1.die in a fire? harsh no?
2. good thing this isn’t cnn.com and it’s a blog primarily targeting college students, i think the audience won’t care too much and will push on
3. a source is a source, read the mass police beat fool cause it was in print
4. KYS, try using full words instead of abbreviations, thats just as bad as typos, have you no manners either?
5. Son? chances are the writer is older than you
6. The biscuits suck anyways, go listen to some real music

This is why I no longer see tDB shows when i can’t get back to my own home afterwords (Living in NYC, i still see them quite a bit)
Good article. The scene has gone into the gutter in recent years. Don’t mind those tools criticizing - without jobs, brains, or meaningful lives, the pt crew will use any excuse to flame people. If it makes you feel better, even those that graduated high school are still probably failing at life. And before you all start with me, get a life. and kys.

What they called “extracurriculars” or “extras” were actually tickets to be admitted to the concert. The Disco Biscuits following is far from the archetype of exemplary but you should probably get your facts straight before publishing them. You have heard of that right? It’s called fact checking. It is a technique formerly practiced by journalists in the age of print, although this practice has been largely abandoned in current times where any moron with a laptop can register a blog url and pretend that he is actually a reputable source of information. Furthermore what happened to a little eloquence in journalism? I know anyone can write whatever they please on the internet but, what happened to prowess of prose being a requisite in the field?
“As we laughed about it that night, we quickly found out online the next day that this kid really did have blueprints.”
Please share with us this new technique you have for spanning two days at the same time.
How about:
“While still enjoying the humor we found in the previous nights encounters, the next day my colleague and I discovered the culprit had in fact acquired blueprints.”
