The Disco Biscuits are a band of transformation and invention. Now 3 decades after their first launch, the Philadelphia-based group remains the pioneers of “Trance-Fusion” – bridging the gap between electronic dance music and jam rock – while consistently looking for new sonic boundaries to break and avenues to tell stories within.
In the summer of 2025, The Biscuits will be celebrating their 30th Anniversary with an east coast and midwest tour surrounding four special Anniversary shows taking place over July 4th Weekend – almost exactly 30 years from their first ever show (July 5, 1995 at the University of Pennsylvania tavern, Smokey Joe’s). TDB30 shines a light on the band’s storied and impactful past, and emphasizes their continued evolution into the modern era.
With two rock operas (1998’s Hot Air Balloon / 2000’s Chemical Warfare Brigade) and a space opera (2024’s Revolution In Motion) amongst the 9 full-length studio albums under their belt, The Biscuits are musical force of nature, having played thousands of shows and not showing signs of slowing down any time soon with even more new music on the horizon.
With a constant touring schedule and ever-transforming live shows, The Disco Biscuits’ soul belongs as much to marathon dance parties as it does to live improvisational journeys. They employ emerging technologies to help them create music that is 100% human although, perhaps, not entirely of this planet.
A pseudonym that the Biscuits played under from 2008-2009 in addition to a few shows throughout the 2010’s, TRACTORBEAM originally saw the band playing instrumental versions of Disco Biscuits originals and covers. In 2019, the band evolved TRACTORBEAM to focus on playing live versions of house and disco songs, using Ableton Live to sync their live instruments. In 2023, the band began to include TBEAM-esque segments more frequently as part of their typical jams during Biscuits shows, but a full TRACTORBEAM show had not been seen in nearly 5 years until their February 11th performance at the Fox Theatre in Boulder. Featuring a combination of instrumental Biscuits songs, EDM samples and a full array of electronic sounds and instruments, TRACTORBEAM is back and here to stay. Pure. Dance. Music.
