Camp Bisco Rocks with The Disco Biscuits

Camp Bisco  2009, which took place at the India Lookout Country Club in upstate New York, featured some of the best electronic and rap bands known to date such as Flying Lotus, Nas and the Disco Biscuits. The Disco Biscuits, a trance fusion jam band from Philadelphia started Camp Bisco in 1999. Their music is a blend of Rock n Roll and Electronic. The band played  all three nights of Bisco and there was a huge crowd every night.

This psychedelic weekend was such an experience that by the end many attendees needed a long time recovery period. People from all around the country in their pseudo hippie cars trekked miles to see some of their favorite bands. The fans camped out in the rain and sang songs of love which gave Bisco a Woodstock feeling. Even though the days of flower children are in the past, a new generation of “trance/jam children” have gathered here at Bisco and the same group of people travel around to many other music festivals all year long. “It’s like a family now”, a man from Long Island said, “after coming to Bisco all these years, you begin to see the same faces who share the same love for good music, and its nice to know that not all bands have sold their souls to huge record labels. This music festival is homegrown and relaxed”.

The security is not run by any state patrol or cops, but members of Hells Angels. The 3,600 member biker crew has chapters world wide, but they have gathered here at Bisco to make sure everyone has a safe time.  The camp ground site was rugged to say the least; there were no toilets or showers, so by the end of the weekend, the camp ground had enough natural fertilizer to last the camp grounds at least a year. “The music is what makes the gross stench of sweat, mud and other substances worth putting up with”, said one girl who traveled with five other friends from Long Island, and  ”even though I smell like dung for a week after Bisco, I still know that I will come back next year”.
