Following The Disco Biscuits‘ tenth anniversary of the band’s annual music festival, Camp Bisco (which reached capacity by selling over 25 thousand tickets this past summer), the group joined Kaskade, Steve Aoki, Booka Shade and many more on the inaugural tour of IDentity Festival, a month long traveling bill of electronic musical acts spanning from coast to coast. On the front end of this string of gigs, this full day of music made a hometown stop for The Disco Biscuits featuring live performances on three stages over the course of twelve hours at the Susquehanna Bank center, located along the Camden waterfront across from Philadelphia’s picturesque Center City skyline. The evening was capped with a special two and a half hour headlining set by the Biscuits, the tour’s only organic (non DJ) act to receive such a nod.
As the day unfolded and the amphitheater began to fill up, F5F’s Alex Raubicheck paid a visit backstage to the Disco Biscuits’ tour bus, where he sat down with Aron Magner, the band’s extremely talented keyboardist. The two talked all things music, including the group’s presence on IDentity Festival, the recent release of the Biscuits’ sixth studio LP, Otherwise Law Abiding Citizens, and Magner’s other chief live musical endeavor, Conspirator.
