Over the weekend, The Disco Biscuits gave Colorado fans a taste of a new era. During a four-show run through the Rocky Mountains, the jamtronica quartet delivered a heaping helping of 2024 debuts, plus a brand new track and bold treatments of longtime fan favorites.

Bisco set off its Centennial State sprint with a performance at Fort Collins, Colo.’s Washington’s on Sept. 5, then brought the energy to Dillon the following evening, Sept. 6 for a staging at the Dillon Amphitheater. The third and fourth evenings of the quadruple-header held consecutive shows at Bellvue’s Mishawaka Amphitheater, where the beloved jam ensemble debuted “Risky Business,” their latest original track.

The Saturday debut of “Risky Business” arrived within the band’s 10th show at the Bellvue venue, just over 20 years after their debut on the stage. With vocals from Jon “The Barber” Gutwillig, the 17-minute spectacle delighted fans, especially those who recognized the track from fragments delivered at an April 13 show at Atlanta’s The Tabernacle, followed by an Aug. 29 tease in Chicago.  The following night, Sept. 8, the Biscuits swapped novelty for nostalgia, breaking into the first-ever inverted version of setlist staple “Mr. Don.” The first two shows also teemed with renewed energy, with two new inversions–“Why We Dance” on Thursday and “Ring the Doorbell Twice” on Friday–leading up to the first inverted “Spacebirdmatingcall” since 2014.

The band’s West Coast adventure resumes this evening, Sept. 11, with a show at The Depot in Salt Lake City, followed by a trio of consecutive shows in Livingston, Mont. from Sept. 13-15 to end the run. The Why We Dance Tour picks back up in October at Covington, Ky.’s Madison Live on Oct. 30, and continues with Bisco’s beloved Halloween series. Other notable East Coast showings include two nights at Brooklyn Steel, an evening at Woodstock’s Bearsville Theatre and a pair of holiday shows at The Fillmore Philadelphia to close out the jam-packed year.
