E118 - Leora and Corrinado All Day21 Oct 202501:46:21

Barber and Max are joined by the immensely talented Hanna Gaffney and Matteo Scammell from the cast of The Very Moon musical. Hanna and Matteo discuss how they came to be involved in this project, their impressions of the Biscuits and their fanbase, and what they've learned from their brush with live improvisational jamband music.

E117 - Simulations (w/Marc Brownstein)13 Oct 202501:57:25

E117 - Simulations (w/Marc Brownstein) - Marc Brownstein returns to the pod to discuss how his burgeoning DJ career has influenced and enriched the music he creates with The Disco Biscuits and Tractorbeam. Marc lets us in on the hard work, practice, and vulnerability that's it's taken to level up to headlining DJ status and debuts his latest DJ Brownie original track, "TeeDeeTeeDah." In addition, Marc walks Jon and Max through the evolution of his newest Biscuits banger, "Simulations." We trace the song's development from a voice memo to a proper studio demo and finally its emergence on stage at The Mishawaka on the final night of the Between The Trees tour.

E107 - Conducting Camp Home Again14 Aug 202501:20:39

E107 - Conducting Camp Home Again - Max and Barber spent the afternoon grilling and swimming and then sat down to try to record a podcast. Fortunately, their guest was Matt Butler, all-around mensch and the man behind The Everyone Orchestra. This past June, Matt had the unusual honor of conducting an all-improv set by The Disco Biscuits at Camp Home Again. The jams that set produced marked a turning point in the band's summer tour and unlocked sounds and textures that can be heard across many of their subsequent shows. In addition to breaking down the Camp Home Again jams, Matt reflects upon the influences that shaped his unique approach to improvisation, including his childhood exposure to the Eugene Symphony, his athletic background, and his creative collaborations with the late Ken Kesey.


This episode features excerpts of the following live performance:



It's a Philadelphia Sixer! The Disco Biscuits take over the Ardmore Music Hall from August 19-24 for their first-ever six night residency. For tickets and more info, including the band's full Fall tour itinerary, head over to discobiscuits.com/shows.

E097 - The Guru, Part 2 (I Remember When)23 May 202501:29:33

TOUCHDOWNS ALL DAY w/ JON BARBER & MAX DAWSON

E097 - The Guru, Part 2 (I Remember When) - Benjy Eisen is a New York Times best-selling author, music journalist, artist manager, promoter, and podcaster. He's also one of the original jamband influencers, and for more than three decades he has catalyzed and mythologized our scene. Benjy's relationship with The Disco Biscuits stretches back to 1997, when he became one of the band's original fans, advocates, confidants, and collaborators. Part two of our interview with Benjy begins with the creation of DiscussBiscuits, the band's first online discussion forum, and focuses on the events of 1998 and 1999, two pivotal years in the history of The Disco Biscuits. Benjy describes how his experiences at festivals like All Good and Autumn Equinox inspired him and his friends to launch Melstock, a multi-day camping and music event hosted on the Mechanicsburg, PA family farm of early Biscuits fan Jason Melham. In addition, Benjy recounts his involvement in the first performance of The Hot Air Balloon rock opera on December 31, 1998, and shares the story of how he accidentally came up with the idea for Camp Bisco.

Fresh off the viral smash Cloudchord's Colorful Surf Crusade, Derek is once again lending his skills as a closer to the Disco Biscuits as they enter the home stretch on the production of their latest album. As one the original Tractorbeam coaches, Cloudy has been paying close attention to the side project's continued evolution, and he shares his feedback on the new dimensions of sound that Allen, Aron, Jon, and Marc have explored this past year via their electronic alter ego. Plus, we debut our newest segment, This Week In End Times, with a report on the impending Rapture. Needless to say, Barber has thoughts...

TOUCHDOWNS ALL DAY w/ JON BARBER & MAX DAWSON

E096 - The Guru (I Remember When) - Benjy Eisen is a New York Times best-selling author, music journalist, artist manager, promoter, and podcaster. He's also one of the original jamband influencers, and for more than three decades he has catalyzed and mythologized our scene. Benjy's relationship with The Disco Biscuits stretches back to 1997, when he became one of the band's original fans, advocates, confidants, and collaborators. In this, the first of a two-part interview, Benjy looks back on his and the band's formative days and the emergence of the Pennsylvania jam diaspora of Philly, Harrisburg, State College, Elizabethtown, and Mechanicsburg. He takes us back to the days of The Blue Terrapin and Cafe 210, a time when The Disco Biscuits were still searching for their identity, and shares his memories of meeting the dedicated coterie of young fans who would become his and the band's lifelong friends. Benjy is responsible for turning many people on to the music of The Disco Biscuits, including four guys from Vermont, and his passion for and belief in the band has been a throughline of their thirty year career.


This episode features excerpts of the following live Disco Biscuits' performances:


  • A Night in Tunisia and Boogie Stop Shuffle, from July 11, 1997 at Blue Terrapin, Elizabethtown, PA

E095 - Basis for a Day (Song Spotlight Series)05 May 202501:25:04

TOUCHDOWNS ALL DAY w/ JON BARBER & MAX DAWSON

E095 - Basis for a Day (Song Spotlight Series) - In TDAD094 we brought you the story of Kevin Abrams, the filmmaker, novelist, and bassist for a day who, along with his college best friend, composed The Disco Biscuits' signature song in 1995. In this episode we're joined by Andy Bazany, author of The Biscuits Internet Project's definitive history of Basis for a Day, for an in-depth discussion of that song's thirty-year history. Basis for a Day is The Disco Biscuits' Dark Star (or Tweezer, if you're so inclined). Its modular structure and myriad tempo and key changes have made it the band's most exciting, exploratory, and impactful jam vehicle. Basis is a license to get weird, a laboratory for experimentation, and a lodestar for the band's ongoing evolution. We trace the history of Basis for a Day from its earliest, embryonic versions through its current-day incarnation as a show-stopping set piece via a selection of standout versions hand selected by Andy, longtime Disco Biscuits archival recording engineer Rich Steele, and their colleagues on the Touchdowns All Day Advisory Committee. Plus, Max digs deep into the PLAN C archives to uncover the earliest recorded version of the song, from the band's performance on November 9, 1995.

Our guest in this second installment is Jake Szufnarowski of Rocks Off and Bowery Presents, the talent buyer at The Starland Ballroom. Jake first encountered The Disco Biscuits in the late 1990s when he booked New York City's Wetlands Preserve, and he's worked closely with the band members and their various side projects ever since. Jake walks us through The Starland's long history, starting with its origins as a polka hall, continuing through its later incarnations as an 80s hair metal venue and 90s dance club, taking us right up to the venue's current incarnation as American's premier rock and roll roadhouse. He also shares his earliest memories of working with The Disco Biscuits and reflects on the role he played in launching the careers of The New Deal, Lake Trout, STS9, and other jamtronica acts.


Check out Jake's band Trükken, a supercharged, rip roarin’, hard rockin’, heavy metal tribute to the GRATEFUL DEAD!

Between 2004 and 2012 the band played 18 shows in "Slayerville," many of which fans regard as amongst the band's finest performances ever. In celebration of the The Disco Biscuits' upcoming return to The Starland, Touchdowns All Day is proud to present "The Jernee Mill Road Back to Sayreville," a two-part miniseries exploring the band's history at this storied venue.


In this first installment, Max is joined by Dan Berkowitz, the founder and CEO of 100x Hospitality. Dan is widely regarded as a pioneer in the live music industry and has produced destination events and enhanced/VIP experiences for artists including Phish, Dead & Company, Metallica, Chris Stapleton, Luke Bryan, and Odesza. But before all that, Dan was the tour manager of The Disco Biscuits. In this interview, Dan recounts how his experiences of first touring with, and later working for, the band have shaped his life and career. He shares his memories of the band's first visits to Sayreville, which took place under the shadow of original drummer Sam Altman's impending departure from the lineup, and reflects on the special relationship that exists between The Biscuits, their fans, and The Starland's staff. Central to these stories is the legendary Hunka Bunka Bus. What began as a practical solution to the problem of getting Disco Biscuits fans to and from The Starland would in time grow into a business, and eventually spawned an entire industry built around celebrating the passion of live music fans.

E080 - Bernstein and Chasnoff (Song Spotlight Series)22 Nov 202402:02:24

TOUCHDOWNS ALL DAY w/ JON BARBER & MAX DAWSON

E080 - Bernstein and Chasnoff (Song Spotlight Series) - For years you've heard the songs...Now hear the stories of the people who inspired them. Andy Bernstein is a jamband Zelig and the inspiration for one of the Disco Biscuits' most beloved classics, "Bernstein and Chasnoff." A friend and collaborator of Marc Brownstein's since their Brooklyn days, Andy has enjoyed a front-row seat for the Biscuits' entire career. But Andy has never been just a spectator. As the author and editor of The Pharmer's Almanac he helped codify the lore and cannon surrounding Phish. As the co-founder and executive director of HeadCount he oversaw an organization that has registered more than 1.5 M music fans (and counting) to vote. And in his current role as the president of the board of Trey Anastasio's Divided Sky Foundation he's helping to establish a cutting-edge residential recovery program for individuals affected by addiction. We conclude the episode with a visit from another Andy: the Biscuits Internet Project's Andy Bazany, who stops by to share five of his all-time favorite versions of "Bernstein and Chasnoff."


For a more in-depth conversation about Andy Bernstein's work at HeadCount and Divided Sky, check out his recent appearance on the Roadcase Podcast.
