Last night, the Disco Biscuits brought their current tour to High Ground in South Burlington, Vt. The concert, which occurred on Feb. 1, marked the first of a two-night stand for the band. The midweek show got underway with an opening set by Karina Rykman, who joined the ensemble during their main set on a first-frame rendition of “Feeling Twisted.”  

The Disco Biscuits’ Feb. 1 show kicked off with a take on “Uber Glue,” which ran over into the ensuing rendition of “Confrontation.” The band continued to jam through their catalog as they merged the previously mentioned tune into “Gangster,” “Shocked” and “Confrontation.” Then, they paused before delivering a newer number, “Spaga’s Last Stand,” which debuted during their New Year’s Eve concert in Chicago. 

For the final number of the night’s initial set, the Disco Biscuits welcomed their opener to the stage to assist on “Feeling Twisted.” Then, after breaking between sets, the billed band returned and cut into the show’s second half, which began with “Sweating Bullets,” and ran over into “The Deal.” Next, “M1” emerged and morphed into an inverted “Portal To An Empty Head.” Then, the band dusted off “Trooper McCue” for the first time since Sept. 12, 2014, ending a 294 show lapse. 

The second set brought forth a jammed-out take on “Morph Dusseldorf” to end the second half of the group’s Wednesday stand. For their encore, the group landed on “Catalyst,” a tune that initially appeared on their 2011 LP, Otherwise Law Abiding Citizens. After last night, Disco Biscuits will return to the Higher Ground stage for their another show this evening before continuing their run later in the week at Albany, N.Y.’s Palace Theatre.
