Camp Bisco 7 | 07.17 - 07.19 | NY

THE EGG is INSANE!!!

i wanna hear me some egg! and boy jon is getting fat

Very cool :) I can't wait to hear the Bisco's version of Justice's Phantom pt II. They played Justice over the PA before Rothbury and it make me think, "I wonder what it would be like to hear Bisco cover some Justice tunes, cuz I bet they could pull it off well". Looked like a blast.

Don't go to this festival unless you really dig electronic music.

The venue is pretty great though. Security might give you that stank eye, but they're cool as hell. I went last year and the weather was fucking scary. 70 mph winds and rain for two nights in beautiful Upstate.

Barber looks grungy as hell in those pics. Setlists look epic. If you haven't seen bassnectar you definately should check him out, he is the shizznitt. That would have been epic if Snoop sat in with bisco

Bet this guy wasn't thinking there were minimal incidents!!!

What concert-goer would turn this guy in? Or was he a d-bag?? Either way, bet he's gone f/ a long time... I feel bad f/ him!!!

http://www.prefixmag.com/news/large-scale-acid-bust-at-camp-bisco-surprise/20182/

thats the sketchiest thing I have heard in a while. Who in the hell has access to that many hits of L. Someone had to have been a weasel. That's seriously fucked up. Weasels should instead lose their heads. I hate snitches and pussy ass bitches who rat to the Feds? Pigs who make no sense. searchin fools before they enter the fence. This poor L head indeed will do time. But for what? havin L and dough. that to me is not a crime.

camp was amazing. the biscuits raged all six sets of the weekend w/ only a few questionable song selections. i was blown away by the first set of saturday. the voices>ladies>voices, shelby was f'in crazy (not taking away from astronaut, it was very good too). the only bad thing to come from camp was the fact that its a shame w/ the biscuits playing so well right now that their not gonna tour this fall and we'll have to hope they can carry over these high caliber shows to nye when they return. lets all hope they return playing as good or better. i wish i was still at camp

Camp was insane as always. The highlight for me was the first set on Friday night, King of The World>Rock Candy>KOTW>RC section was fire. I also really enjoyed the day set on saturday. I was surprisingly happy w/ the Snoop set. U-melt and Lotus killed it too.

Assnectar sucks

What kind of fucking piece of shit festival goer would tell security that guy had that much acid. Hes going to go to prison forever

Im not a big biscuit fan but good article and pics

I have been Shpongled. This was a mind-blowingly delicious electrified infection of groove known as Camp Bisco. The answer to all questions as to how Camp could rock this hard? As !!! eloquently stated, It must be the Moon. Oh, and 6 killer sets of high octane Bisco, plus florid lotus, thought provoking pnuma, in your face u-melt, rock hearty tlg, doggfather snoop, etc etc etc couldn't hurt either. Telepath late night, MSTRKRFT rain storm, Bassnectar playing Slayer....Oh and that Bisco Friday night 2nd set just killed it (along with all the rest of them). Long live Bisco!!

Looks like I know the #1 spot for cops and narcs to go next year...looks like it'll me Camp Disco in Mariaville

Friday was def the HEAT!!!! The total spine tingler for me tho was early thursday setting up my tent and hearing some loud noise coming from the main stage, watching everyone start running towards the heavenly sounds, and sure enough, Biscuits doing soundcheck 'Home Again' Never had to think twice always knew my home was in paradise' :) Awsome weekend!!!!!!!!!

This festival sounds like a boring waste of time and money. There are many better ones.

let the fighting begin!!! Not me tho I Like db music.

Would someone please explain to me why a fair amount of people seem to actually like bisco.

that is CUT CHEMIST not DJ SHADOW. great pictures though.

I cant believe the bikers didn't just take all that dudes L and try to resell it like they were doing at Gathering of the (BAD) Vibes a few years ago. i witnessed too many shady things at that venue in one weekend to make me ever get anywhere close ever again.

The reason people like tDB, stone, is that many people like to dance. They enjoy tension and release jamming. They enjoy song inversions and complex setlists. They enjoy deep bass and loud, fast, peaks.

They also like drugs. But still, nice backhanded insult.

Camp 7 was fucking EPIC. Pnuma and Lotus were disgusting, Biscuits killed it of course. Younger Brother was like Floyd with dance beats, Shpongle was massive, no Prometheus though :(

Bisco brings da heat

STONE, it's the same reason that we don't like you. Because it's fun.

YES...great weekend, good review, love the backstage pics.

hahaha Snoop rockin the shocker.....bet he was thinkin fuck tha police when they took his ride!!!!! Spectacular weekend though...loved every single minute of it :) Specially ragin in front of Lorins face during his set....hahaha totally spot my big buggy rage glasses right there in tha front

holy shit! that's alot of cid!! that's fucked up!

lotus' light show looks amazing.

shpongle during the day time? i hope the sun was just coming up when that pic was take.

and Camp Bisco on 20/20?! hahaha i might have to stay in for that one! gotta love it!

this festival is right on the cutting edge of where our culture is going, weather you like it or not, see this post http://theunderrated.blogspot.com/2008/06/dont-play-with-me-cause-youre-playing.html as to how i feel about the music community right now, Rachael took what i said to heart here

biscuits are really generous with having their photos shot though, i hate snapping pics

first camp bisco and also first time seeing the biscuits . loved every second. they made me a fan ! all around great festival with some kick ass music ! by the way im in the picture of the crowd entitled the disco biscuits. that rocks !

I really hope that 20/20 doesnt focus on that L bust and just does a piece on the headcount thing. If they focus on the bust that would be really bad for our community

Snoop I love you dog, but you hafta have your people prep you on where your at. At Rothbury you kept sayin what up east lansing and now introducing 311 at Camp Bisco, hook me up with what ur smokin!! RIP Oregon resident Jonathan Taylor, hope it was on paper and not cubes mang

this festival looks like absolute hell. ugly chicks and bad music

Good review. For once jambase sent someone who listens to music and likes to get down to review a festy.

very nice review. i love electronic music and cant stand the biscuits, but it sounds like they threw quite the party, wish i could have been there! nice shots too

About the guy with the L.....who in the hell brings that much cid to a festival? I don't think it's anybody's fault but his own that he got caught. That's the chance you take.......

I never knew that there was a country bumpkin in the disco biskitz. Must be tough to score ecstasy in kentucky.

I had a great time at bisco this year. i was dissapointed that this review didn't mention LA Riots though. a friend got me to skip out of younger brother to go see them in the tent. in my opinion, one of the best dj sets of the weekend.

also, anybody know when 20/20 is doing their thing on bisco?

Regarding the guy that was busted for selling acid. Nobody "snitched" on him. Take my word for it. Please don't bash your fellow jammers when you don't have a clue to as what happened.

1) Vann's shot of Fiction Plane is sick!

2) Bavosa wrote a stellar article covering nearly everyone.

3) Eliot Lipp is the real deal! I'm Glad bavosa captured that in his words.

4) Lotus, imho, has surpassed the genre they themselves helped define.

5) Jimkata will be making waves for years to come.

6) Indian Lookout and Bisco are a great marriage! Hope it continues!

7) it's up to us to police the 'scene'. if you see something stupid going down w/ party favors, step up and do something. Being 'the bad guy' will only last a few mins amongst 'strangers'...

cheers.

please enlighten us billydog...

We camped right next to him. Let's just say he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Anyway... Rothbury was the best festival of the year, and Camp Bisco had to be the best dance party of the year. The late nite dance tent was complete madness!! peace to all.

The disco biscuits were one of the worst bands at camp bisco, and its funny because it was some of the best sets ive seen them play. The biscuits have no soul to their music and people deffinetly relate to them for the experience more then the music. In my opinion Tribe, any posford project, and lotus are ten times better then the biscuits. Yea they are all talented, but it seems like what they stand for is completely weong and it shows in their music. then again it deffinetly is a matter of taste and preference. other then that little rant camp was alot of fun this year the dance tent was awsome for the egg and the new deal and MSTRKRFT and bassnectar threw down real hard on the main stage.

*yawn* i am so glad i wasn't at this lame "festival".....

"Must have been 14,000 hits of bad acid. And I’m sure 14,000 sober people came to the realization that Disco Biscuits just aren’t quite that good without acid. Blessing in disguise, possibly."

lol! they aren't even good with a boatload of lsd or molly!

By far and away the best festival of its size this year. i would have to say there was closer to 10k then 5k people there. The music was unreal, the dance parties were next level and boy was the DANCE TENT a perfect solution to last years noise problems.

Cheers to TDB and MCP for Growing this festival to the next level, camp bisco is officially a real deal festival in this country like NO OTHER.

Any of you big techno/dance/electrona fans at the Panic show in Charlotte this past Saturday? Just wondering what y'all thought of that crazy throwdown Panic did with DJ Logic and Hunter Williams on the turntables for drums>fishwater. It was a twenty-five minute freak out. Really great improv shit.

camp raged.

pnuma>orchard>lotus, unbelievable, unrivaled dance party maddness

biscits, tore it up

sphonlge, mind melting

mstrkrft, almost had a heart attack from dancing so hard

the new deal,made my brain explode

didn't even read the article, I like bisco but not as much as others BUT THAT PICTURE WITH SNOOP IS AWSOME...... BISCO FANS MUST BE SOOOO FIRED UP.

I will say that i cant understand the bisco bashing. No soul? who said that i think that bisco is a lot about sould and community. they are one of the most giving bands in the scene. That cid bust is a difficult issue bc so many ppl had that stuff there and to send that guy to jail for life probably is kinda harsh. if it was a lot less i would have been okay with it but it was prolly some competitor who couldnt deal with wholesale prices. Bisco was so nasty. sat second set i was sober as a judge and still enjoyed it. LOtus was the show. tnew deal i loved but i wouldve taken another lotus set. tlg was way better than what i expected. downright good time and i dont like the negativity the people who do their thing do thier thing if our not into it then dont be, where i come from (turkey) they say that tastes and colors should not be disputed, its none of your buisness what i like or do

billydog, so far the report I posted sugests fans were involved, you do little to change my belief with what you've posted so far. Why RU so vague w/ your description of what happened? Due to my own past issues, I'm the first to realize that reported news is not always 100% accurate but I would like to hear the "real" story since you were right there, not just hints and suggestions like you've posted so far. Who knows, if you know so much maybe the "true" story getting out might help the kid from living the next (minimum) of 7 years in maximum security prison... otherwise, it's still looking like there were narcs within the Biscuits fan base....

"The Egg, hailing from London, are, simply put, fucking insane. More intense than the SATs and more mind-blowing than an Alex Grey exhibit on DMT, these guys are in a class - make that a world — all their own. If the question was posed, "What came first, the chicken or the egg?," it was answered by this set. The Egg killed the chicken by pumping their sonic madness straight into its beak until it tried to cross the road and got hit by oncoming traffic. Yeah, that's The Egg."

Bravo, very well put, could not describe them any better. But I must say that they are this good due to that fact that they have always been ahead of their time and have their shit down to a science. True musicians and would put tdb out of business if they moved to the states.

this story is very true as this guy was an old dear friend of mine. the future looks grim for him. i hope he's ok.

Narcs within the community...do ya think? Be smart kids.

One of the best times all summer. This is a great little festival, filled with awesome people and intense music. Contrary to poular belief there was a lot of non electronic music that was stellar (Raq, TLG, the Bridge, Snoop etc... ) All theose that hate on this fest or the Biscuits really need to go and checkem out and see how wrong they are.

F the haterz. You are all foolz.

"Must have been 14,000 hits of bad acid. And I’m sure 14,000 sober people came to the realization that Disco Biscuits just aren’t quite that good without acid. Blessing in disguise, possibly"

haha, the truth hurts, apparently.

Rodney and Leroy are gonna have a field day with this kid.

Amazing festival, 2020 killed it, the egg raped it.

To Bottlecap and anyone saying this guy deserves it, eat a dick. No one deserves to be ratted out by some holier than thou punk ass bitches. Or by some drug upped biker gang who wants a piece of his action. I've dealt with bikers(outlaws) and know their M.O. And 14K hits aint that much acid. I remember meeting a Vermonter on a Greyhound and getting a bible (10K hits) with him before Phish played Denver '97. And I didn't know this cat from Adam. I think it was 8 grand or so for a bible, no biggie really. Nothing like the crank and coke the bikers push around. It sounds like the security were working hand in hand with the law. The only good cop is a d--- cop. I'll let you work with the blanks.

And yo Wilbur!! Im sorry to hear that shit man. Most higher ups in the L trade ARE true warriors of compassion in action. Risking life and limb to make sure the sacrament keeps flowing and heads keep soaring. If it were 14k bunk doses I wouldn't feel sorry for him but it sounds like he was legit. Cops pick on our scene because it's like picking apples from low branches, too easy. Sounds like they had help at Bisco from fans or security one, either way it sucks. Who lets bikers run security, really? Unless you are in on the profits from their drug sales. And what kind of bikers would turn anyone in to the law, they deserve worse than death if thats the case.

i don't know much of the ins and outs about this story, as most of his friends didn't even really know about this until i told them after reading this review! I guess that's what happens when you get busted at a "low key" festy on the other side of the country.

great review i really enjoyed reading it. it brought me back to all the shows :) bassnectar was fucking nasty as hell, shpongle,lotus and the egg threw down like the masters they r. biscuits killed as always. sick camp!!!! p.s. the gilligans island/stairway to heaven mash up by dj shadow and cut chemist was awesome!!!!

speaking of this relix, cross over/everyone trying to be famous. Brian it says on your Myspace that you write for Rolling Stone, when can I see your articles,

if the bikers turned in the guy, i will really have been let down by ILCC ,one of the best things about them being the police there is the utopian, or libertarian rule of respect. it might have also been the dick hired security companies, hired by the other PR company, not meatcamp cw or something. they SUCK,

This is possibly the most unappealing festival of the summer, for one I will never understand peoples obsession with the disco biscuits. They are surely a fun set to catch but in no way are they a reason to come to a festival. The egg is a damn good band, other than that this line up is fucking garbage. Not to mention upstate NY wookie trash is not my scene.

"the only good cop is a d__d cop"

hurricane23? Congratulations, Cupcake ... You are The Weakest Link. I am guessing your mom and dad are siblings, too.

Just when you think you couldn't possibly see a Disco Biscuits fan post anything more drug addled or ignorant ... Someone like hurricane23 steps up to the plate ..... You, my little cockgoblin ... Are quite possibly the dumbest person on Jambase.

Because if there is a God in Heaven ... Someday your punkass or someone you know and love will need the help of a policeman ... And I hope they smile and say "The only good cop is a dead cop, huh? Eat a big bowl of fuck, you human skidmark."

this was my first camp and I had a great time. I am getting a bit older and seeing the scene develop how it did was mind opening for me. I used to be that guy on lot, so I have a lot of sympathy for people trying different things, pushing boundaries, and facing consequences. I have great respect for the musicians who played this weekend, and i hope i can join their ranks in the near future with my own project

hurricane23 - that is the most disgraceful thing i've ever heard anyone say on this site. it's so bad i had to email the F.B.I. and let them know exactly what you said.

and i apologize for my previous bisco bashing. i was fucked up and in a shitty mood....

Bisco this year was the shizznizzle!!! I can't wait to see Conspirator, Dr. Fameus, Pnuma, GZA, Lotus, and Eliot Lipp this weekend at Trinumeral.

BISCO WAS FUCKIN SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
