The String Cheese Incident Throwing Back To Early 2000s For ‘Friday Night Cheese’ Double Feature

One of the silver linings of the pandemic was several bands dipping into their archives for video broadcasts including The String Cheese Incident‘s “Friday Night Cheese” series. SCI recently revived the series to celebrate their 30th anniversary with a double feature on tap for this week’s installment.

The String Cheese Incident will broadcast over four hours of classic video on nugs.net starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Friday, February 23. First up comes the band’s April 1, 2000 concert at Stubb’s BBQ in Austin. The double feature will end with an Incident filmed in Tokyo, Japan on April 12, 2003.

Footage of the Austin performance, a show cut short thanks to weather and equipment issues, features newly remastered audio and video. The band made the most of the situation by delivering a particularly jam-heavy show to cap a three-night stand in the Texas capital. At one point, all five members embark on a drum jam while the crew dealt with technical difficulties thanks to deluge of water.

The String Cheese Incident’s April 12, 2003 show was the first of two nights at Shibuya Ax in Tokyo that concluded a brief tour of Japan that also included concerts in Osaka and Nagoya. SCI previously unveiled footage of the second night in 2021. Head to nugs.net on Friday to watch the double feature.

SCI returns to the road in May for a spring tour after an appearance at Texas Eclipse Festival in April. Other The String Cheese Incident dates on the books as part of their 30th anniversary year include a Red Rocks run and six sets at the inaugural Locomotion Festival.
