The Disco Biscuits kicked off their two-night run at the newly opened Fillmore New Orleans on Friday night, with opening support from instrumental prog-jam quartet TAUK.
The excitement and anticipation were at an all-time-high, as The Disco Biscuits had not performed in the “Crescent City” in over a decade. Their last trip to the “Big Easy” was back in 2008, when they played a pair of shows at the very beginning of that year’s Jazz Fest season. Now, eleven years later, the band landed right where they were meant to be with an after-midnight show on the First Friday of the 50th anniversary of New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
In typical NOLA fashion, The Disco Biscuits welcomed local musician and touring Lettuce trumpeter Eric “Benny” Bloom to the stage to close the first set with a brass-heavy “Afro Blue” and “Mulberry’s Dream”. To open their jam-laden second set, the jamtronica pioneers introduced a brand new song they’re calling “That Sample Has a Name” before going into a wild back-to-back “Caterpillar” and “Helicopter” sandwich.
The Disco Biscuits – 4/26/19 – Full Show
Tonight, The Disco Biscuits will return to the stage with opening support from local brass band Naughty Professor. You can still grab your tickets to The Disco Biscuits at The Fillmore New Orleans tonight via the band’s website here.

For their NOLA late-night, the nascent band—which also features Danny Mayer (Eric Krasno Band), Rob Marscher (Jennifer Hartswick Band/Matisyahu), and Marlon Lewis (Lauryn Hill/John Legend)—will welcome keyboardist and fellow Disco Biscuits member Aron Magner as well as a slew of Jazz Fest late-night stalwarts: guitarist Eric Krasno (Soulive/Lettuce), vocalist Shira Elias (Turkuaz), and saxophonist Khris Royal (Rebelution).
