Nicely done, photo's are great. Is it possible that I could order that Bassnectar photo with the Bass in hand as a poster? I'm serious.

thanks for the thoughts. incredible weekend. btw, it's "psy" trance, not "psych" trance. the biscuits don't own the LED screen, either. i wish they did. perhaps we can pay an extra 5 bucks a ticket to get them to rent it for fall tour? i'd contribute. though it might get played out if it was up every night.

most of this looks great!! some of it, I already know, is not so great.

I would have been happy with this line-up for the most part.

I have full agreement about BISCO kids. the knappy little home-made T-shirt wearing little dirty thugs. I can see how colorado would be offended by this dirty east coast tribe of thugs. I have seen them at shows, and I do my best to avoid them. They have bad VIBES.

Its not the bands fault, its part of their fan base, I will continue to like disco biscuits and the other bands based on the tunes they lay down.

peace.

Great write up Brian! I'm not the biggest Bisco fan per se, but the review really gave a reader a feel for what they may have missed. Couldn't help but feel Benjy's comments were a bit on the mellow dramatic side, but the review itself did the job, and Vann's pics certainly added some "and them some" factor

I was there. With the exception of all the lame-ass electronic acts and 70mph winds, it was great(NY is still paradise). Umphrey's killed it like I knew they would, Biscuits were so-so, and Slick Rick & the DJ provided a good hip-hop party. Girl Talk was more fun than I expected. There were a bit more grimy scumbags than I'm used to seeing at festival, but there were plenty of good peoples as well. We really need an UMPHEST in '08.

I think I remember Barber saying at some festival where I saw Bisco: "We're the kids who steal your lighters." I'd take it a step farther and suggest that Bisco is followed by lots of kids that will steal your lighter, your satchel, your tent, your sleeping bag and anything else that's not nailed down. With that said, I truly respect the music,even if the vocals bother me sometimes and Brownie's bass sometimes seems half a beat behind. I'll continue to see them, but you better believe I watch my back at a Bisco show.

Ha West coast calling East coast wankers! Our vibe is fine if you know the real fans ( disco bisuits ) I love your stereotypical mind! You should stay in your headier than every one world and leave the real world alone! Camp 07 was a blast! So dont come to tdb and you would have anything to complain about. Disco Biscuits are the best act for the $$$$ and the crowd is young maybee you are too old! Stay home more dancin room for me!

UMPHEST fo sho!!! I gotta say, I only read this article/comments to see what folks would say about the crowd. Never seen the Biscuits, only heard live recordings....kinda boring/repetitive, must be much much better live to have so many fans. But I gotta say that from everything I've read and heard from people that have seen them live, what a terrible bunch of fans. Soundes exactly like the sort of scumbags that eventually started to ruin Phish lots/shows, and became a real bummer you just had to deal with at Dead shows for many many years. Again, never seen em' live, but seems to me that if I ever did I'd be leaving all my valuables at home...cause these kid's will break into your trunk. I give the respect I get at shows and at all times. If what I'm hearing is true I'd be getting tossed pretty quickly for dealing with these punk bitch dirty little f**k's running around these shows all hopped up on pharmies and courage. Really hope I'm wrong about this, would love to see this kind of shit leave the scene all together. Oh well. They can't all be like SCI shows....best fans in the world.

CBVI was awesome this year! Umphreys, Infected Mushrooom, Sound Tribe, Zilla, Eoto, Hallucinogen in Dub, the biscuits they kept me dancin and smilin from thursday to sunday mornin! Came with good people, met more good people, and i would say the crowd was pretty chill, as always.The venue and the bikers were all awesome too, can't wait until next year!

Boss - thanks for another fine play by play review of the music...(see GOTV review for a first)

What about the rest of the weekend? Did you just plant yourself in front of a stage writing setlist after setlist as the weekend transpired...

How about mentioning the bikers who ran the security, the Color Wars, or “The Magner Off,” with guest judge Aaron Magner.

Anything that I could'nt get from a few minutes hunting setlists online.

camp was one of the best weekends of the year. hallucinogen in dub was epic. both sts9 sets were the heat and bassnectar is the man. also zilla and eoto, ott, and infected mush were on point. only disappointments were missing amon tobin due to overlapping sets and the shpongle set break wasnt long enough. god listens to simon posford's music... i'm pretty sure.

Sounds like a fun festi, but I have to agree with a lot of the fans being wanksta hippie thug punks. Only been to 1 Bisco show (High Sierra late nite). All weekend the vibes were awesome till that late nite, all these dirty kids pushing and serious bad vibes. Great music, some really lame dirtbags. I too hope to exterminate these punks from the scene. SCI rules. Peace

The fans at Camp VI were actually quite chill. You'll have your bad apples at any festival you attend, but there were no more here than you'd expect to find elsewhere. Nobody in my immediate camping vicinity had a single problem with people, their stuff, or anything else related to these supposedly "evil, bad-vibing wankster hippies." From what I've experienced in my somewhat limited run of Biscuits shows, the people are actually quite nice. Most of them are die-hard fans attending the show STRICTLY for the music and to see friends, which is how it should be.

The generalization of west and east-coasters is absurdly childish and almost completely inaccurate. All you're doing when leveling these charges is displaying gross ignorance, so please...grow up.

Decent review, btw. Would have liked more about the actual scene and setting than a page by page of the artists performing.

I've never seen the word DUB more times in one story. DUBly impressive. Also, I second that more laptops than guitars statement. Whats the deal with that? Other than that, I really liked the pics.

All I have to say is. Camp was awesome... You must like electronic music to attend. Just cause there are more laptops than guitars, just makes it different music. And if you were there.. you would not be bitching about the bisco kids, because they were NOT all that shit you claim they are.. at least not on that weekend. Yes as someone mentioned, from time to time, in the past, the bisco crowd has got a bad rap. But all in all, these posts should just stay on PT. LEAVE YOUR NEGATIVE SHIT ON PT, this place is for talking about meaningful reviews of the shows, not the WHINING and BITCHING you all seem to do too much.

Thanks for the review. Would love to see even more photos. Camp was so awesome this year. ILCC and all of their staff did a great job. And if you are really scared of a bunch of Bisco kids then you must live in the middle of nowhere. The crowd was great, the Vibes good and I danced my ass off.

ahhhh... of course, Bavosa was saving all his magic for the BISCO review...very nice job on this...both w/ sick photos from Vann and some great imagery and descriptions from Bavosa...Love this line from the review: "...or simply the downright dirty feel of their shows,"...That's exactly how I have pleasantly desribed Bisco for years...Spot On there. Lastly, I was really hyped to see so many others thought Bassnectar was a sick set! great work on this piece and festival. cheers.

I was at Bisco and it was one of the best festi's ive been to. ILCC is the shit and the bikers posed no problems. Umph and Infected Mushroom ripped it on Thursday. Other highlights of the weekend were Bassnectar, Girltalk, Zilla, The Join. The lowlights were probably the repetativeness of the the Disco Biscuits (The festival would have been better w/o them in my opinion...The day set was pretty nasty though.) Also not being prepared for the freezing weather. I had no problems with the crowd, except for the few Overdosed kids laying lifeless on shakedown on saturday night. Too much K people.

Marcsmall, you must be the most prejudice person on this website. What if you saw me in a hat like that? You wouldn't talk to me? Every following has a cross section of human existance, haven't you all learned that yet?

How can a bunch of Deadheads get on a message board and rip on some their own family? Some of you make me sick. Do you all expect everyone to show up with BMW's and Mercedes?

Maybe its because I'm not a dumbass, but I've never had anything stolen at a show/festival. HOW DO YOU KNOW BISCO KIDS ARE THIEVES, DID YOU ACTUALLY SEE THEM STEALING FROM YOU PERSONALLY? No, you didn't. That's impossible.

It's all a bunch of bull, and you are all spreading the lie. Long live Bisco and Camp Bisco.

This is how stereotypes begin. People commenting on things they have no idea about because they believe third-party information. Way to not figure it out for yourself, buddy. Keep letting people tell you what the world is like. Try Bill O' Fearmonger on Fox News.

I guess it is a tad dirtier, but when I actually got there, most people were pretty chill. The people around me were fairly nice, even though the gangsta looking kids are annoying. But then again, I saw them at All Good, too.

Now for the actual fest, I had a fuckin AMAZING time. Bassnectar was sweet, Caveman was interesting, Ott was great. Bustle was fun (I was the one who yelled to Russo "Yo Russo, play it so Bobby can hear ya!". Benzos were good, too. I didn't see a bad set all weekend. The Biscuits day set and the last night were great.

Hallucinogen In Dub was too much. Too much. I was right up front in a black sweatshirt (on that little pole near the ground wire thing). The camera turned to me and I'm pretty sure I looked right into it as I started to crumple onto the pole haha. The show was amazing. When the rain came, it was the most epic thing of my life. I turned to the right and asked the people if it was really happening, and they were just as unsure. It was so unreal. Sound Tribe was fun, too. I wish they'd improv more, and All Good was definitely a better set, but I still had a good time. I did miss Tooth. I got up front then I started freaking out because shit was in my wallet that I didn't want on me, so I got really tense, then some chick told me to "do my thing", it was so simple, but it was so clear, I'll thank her if I ever saw it. But I came back and had a great time. That was until it was too cold to dance during late night. I had no tent so I was basically a hobo. But I danced to keep warm. I think I had my "free your mind and your ass will follow" flag during Sound Tribe. If any of you saw that I apologize if I yelled out obnoxiously, I had a sort of epiphany looking at that amazing sunset before they went on. What a great weekend.

Oh yeah, Digifront was sweet!

Well, I'll rephrase. I haven't dealt with any particularly bad people, but some do seem kind of self-centered. But whatever, I usually don't find myself around them. The ones that are really weird are the ones that sound like they're on ludes. I was right next to this kid up front when they pushed us back. This nice old biker chick was talking and this kid looked absolutely doped up. His vibe was odd. I'm not here saying that everyone was dirty or anything, I said I had no problems at all this weekend with anyone else, I'm just saying that some people do seem to be a little sketchier than other fests and shows. Kids, just don't become an etard and drink too much and start falling all over me during Infected Mushroom.

All I did was ask you a question, Marc. A question you didn't answer.

You are making assumptions about people's character, people you have never met before or even had a conversation with. That is my problem with you Marc. Who in the hell do you think you are to call someone a 'wannabe thug' without knowing a single thing about them? Does it make you feel better about yourself? You went to one show in Boulder and it seems like you know everything about every Bisco fan at the show. I'm sure they weren't all 'East Coast Wanksters', just like you said. Leave the shallow labeling of human beings off this website please.

I'm 33, maybe old to some maybe young to others. but having seen some of the darker days of Dead and Phish shows there has been a progression of negative "vibes" from year to year. However looking back, those shows were huge and you could avoid "sketch,wooks," whatever people called or are calling them today. With smaller fests like Bisco there seems to be a new generation of music lovers with yes a different look, but for sure a different respect for a "tainted" scene. Sign of the times party people. Deal or stay home.

I'm boknows and I'm 35.

Hi Boknows!

Sorry, thought this was a meeting, my bad.

Here's the straight deal. There is always going to be a younger crowd going to someone's shows and ruining it for some. End of the Dead run, post 96/97 Phish, and now Bisco. Just like those days most of the idiots are there for the party that comes with the music. So if you are there for the music and have "control" over your partying then they annoy you. I stopped going to Phish for a while due to this. Plenty of other bands to see with much cooler crowds. Lucky for me I don't really dig on Bisco so I don't have to put up with the crap.

When you're 18-25 and still living off daddy's hard earned $$$ its not hard to find a party, trouble, and others interested in the same.

In closing, LIVE and LET LIVE.

I don't like how everyone says the "younger" fans are the spun-out ones messing everything up. Just more stereotyping. I'm 18 years old and very rarely do recreational drugs at shows. It seems to me that most of the "wooks" are all completely different, age wise. I HATE ALL THE GENERALIZING THAT COMES ALONG WITH BEING A BISCO FAN.

^^ok 2 threads in a row i'm agreeing with this guy...and also seeing a completely ignorant embarrassment to what is usually a very accepting sci fanbase

you guys ever heard of racism??? you know, judging somebody for their appearance or for their association with a particular culture before you get to know that person individually. Maybe sound a little similar to what's going on here??? Don't know if you guys have been keeping up but the word to use in this case is IGNORANCE.

i just hate that my favorite band in this scene is also the one whose threads inevitably get packed completely full of it. EVERY TIME!...one day there is going to be a biscuits thread with mostly intelligent comments, one day...

gmoo--The fact that you deny the ABSOLUTE TRUTH about what happens at TDB shows shows that you just don't want to accept the FACTS. You remind me of Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity denying the truths about the Bush Administration.

If this happened to someone else, they will speak up and maybe I'll believe it. Why don't you tell me about it instead of just saying I'm in denial? Did you buy the chocolate? Did your friend? How many were sold? Why was this kid not arrested? Why did you not mention this at the beginning of the thread, or even before this thread began? It's funny you didn't mention a razorbladed chocolate until your 4th or 5th comment. IF YOU REALLY DIDN'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO OTHERS, WHY WOULDN'T YOU MENTION IT EARLIER? All you did was make fun of the smell of schwag, like that can even compare to biting into a razorblade. This doesn't make sense at all. Why did it take so long for you to bring this situation up?

CAN ANYONE ELSE CONFIRM THE RAZORBLADE IN CHOCALATES?

Deftone-> you are such a dumbass. First of all what makes you think I have never been part of a DB show?? Because Last time I've check I have 3 ticket stubs from their shows. And This is a comment section, so I really could care less what you think of my comment. I'm just saying whats on my mind. And yea I do enjoy seeing SCI way More than DB, and I could give a shit less if SCI has respects for them, it won't change the fact that I think Disco B. sucks ass. They are on the same record label so what the fuck do you expect? Anyway you must think your really cool for posting positive comments, well if there wouldnt be such shitty vibes at DB shows I wouldn't bitch about it.

Blower-> Go fuck yourself.

And for the Chocos with Razr blades In them?? Idk if its true, but if it is that is another great reason to NOT EAT CHOCOLATES>!!!! EAT THE REAL DEAL, atleast you can tell what your getting. And fuck E, and K and all that clube drug scene. what happened to the days of FINE NUGS, GOOD SHROOMS, AND DANK LSD.????? I miss those days

I have never heard anything good about Bisco fans and have even questioned them on these threads before. I had also never seen the band preform live until Copper MT. a little while back. I have to say now that the kids seemed no more obnoxious than any other fan base and the band itself was exactly the type of groove I was looking for. I still think the kids need to straighten out some and I do have concerns about all the thefts I hear about at their festies but the Band rocks. I couldn't have been more pleasently suprised. I still prefer Lotus and I think they will always get me higher but this Bisco shit is truly good music in my opinion. I'd been in the NW so long I never had a chance to see them before and I'm sure glad I took the six hour trip north to do so.

Oh just one more quick comment, To SCI Freak, your little tiread is abaolute proof of your incredible ignorance. To spew that much hatred and claim to be a kind and loving kid is a joke. It's no wonder I always felt the SCI scene was juvienlle hypocratic bullshit.

"Anyone who listens to them are just fucking low life pieces of shits who take bunk ass fuck e, and gets soo rowdy they can't realize how shity the band is."

I listen to them. I am a plain southern boy, I have loved dead, phish, sci, wsp, DB, umph, lotus, and much more.

This generalization that all fans of DB are Lowlifes is entirely inaccurate. I am 37 years old, I work in public radio as my profession.

I would not fall into this category as I am sure many others would not either. spewing this kind of hatred and lumping ALL the fans into this "Lowlife" category is very inaccurate and bitter. Its shows some deep seeded HATRED for All fans of DB, when in fact all fans are not LOWLIFES, just because the like to see DB shows.

Its like you want some sort of revenge and your hatred is truly amazing.

Hatred leads to suffering! We need more love and less hate, or the world will continue to suffer turmoil and mis-deeds.

SCIFREAK.. loook down inside yourself and find out why you hate so much, perhaps some psycho therapy could help you find the root of you severe hatred that is in the place where you used to have a HEART. Peace.

the sketchiness of the scene is what makes the scene, to me it fits perfect with the music that bisco plays and i think thats how its gonna be for a while, when i see bisco i focus on the music and the bad ass light show they put on, not really the crowd. I have seen some pretty crazy shit at bisco shows their fans do get rowdy at times

Ok. So far, by all participating in this discussion we as a group have learned the following:

Marc Brownstein is fat and only sounds good with effects pedals

The Disco Biscuits do not play real instruments

All the E on tour is bunk

The chocolates have razorblades in them

All Disco Biscuits fans are EXACTLY the same

SCI was clearly a better band

and SCIfreak is the all knowing master elder of the music universe. We bow to you...

The review was decent and the pictures were fantastic. I cant believe what I am reading from some people. Camp this year for me, was one of the best festivals that I have ever been to. I set up shop w/ my friends that I went with and had an amazing time. Of course you are going to have the kids that are gonna get all messed up, but that goes w/ any festival. I dont see how that can determine whether or not you like what a festival is all about, the music and the people that you associate with. The biscuits afternoon set was fire and thats no lie. The rest of the festival as the biscuits are concerned was so-so, but had its moments and those moments were incredible. It was the first festival that I didnt want to leave at all at the end. For all you haters out there, dont come to the festival next year and for that matter dont come to anymore shows if all you are going to do is bitch and moan about our scene and how we cant sing. I dont go there for their singing(which I love now), I go there for their jams which are at their peak simply mindmelting. As for the scene, I love it because I have my crew who I love and respect and respect me and we have an amazing time w/ out getting too K rocked or whatever all you people bitch about. This festival went off without a hitch and if you didnt realize it then you just dont get why people like the biscuits. Thank You and Goodnight!!

Love the comments! You'd think the Bisquits were worth two shits to bring about so much anger and arguments. Now that the Best band since the Dead---the String Cheese Asskicking Incident--is no longer touring--for the time being---people should focus on real bands like Assembly of Dust, Drive By Truckers, or Govt. Mule instead on these lowlifes.

Lets all go back to ILCC next year. The staff was friendly and they werent into busting anyone's trip. Even the ambulances were apparently on-site only so no one had to experience a trip to the hospital.

ok i'd like to adress a few things

1. its not just young folks who get to fucked up, at hookahville this year 2 people died, the older 27 year old O.D.ed, at riverview this year some guy was tripping hardcore and getting in everyones way with his drugged out dancing and he look to be in his late 20s

2. Bisco has sketch fans, sure they have some ass hole fans but doesnt every band, give it time UM is going to get some sketch fans in a few years, in the end phish had some assholes all band have bad fans.

3. Bisco has no musical talent, suer you might not like them but that doesnt make them untalentied, i cant say im a bisco fan but i think they do have some excelent musicianship, things like inverted songs take real talent

I must say, reading some of these comments has been hilarious. Camp Bisco was a blast.Saying the biscuits suck and calling fans low lifes, and thieves is a joke. I work with children for a living, I do not steal and I am certainly not a low life and I feel the disco biscuits are an amazing band and very talented individuals, and they do play instruments for the person who seems confused about that. For all the people with angry comments; seriously look into Yoga, it may help you release whatever it is you are holding onto. As for the music,looking forward to echo project and all the other great shows happening this Fall! Peaceful Vibes to All

Haha. People never cease to amaze me in the slightest. Camp was amazing and I can't wait for next year and this upcoming tour. All three Ohio shows are going to be niiiiice. I worked this festival this year and was extremely pleased with the atendees, the staff, and of course the music.

SCIfreek -Congats, brah, you have self'd yourself harder than anyone could possible achieve.

USC-no one in this discussion who is a fan of tDB has said anything so out of context is became useless to a positive conversation. The only ones bringing immature reviews are the ones who didn't even attend.
