Disco Biscuits, RJD2, Prefuse 73 (1/24/09)

Kingtello Presents proudly teamed with C3 Presents (Lollapalooza, Presidential Inauguration) and The Congress Theater to host the Disco Biscuits with RJD2 and Prefuse 73 on Saturday, January 24, 2009.

The Disco Biscuits have entered their second decade as one of the most successful acts on the jam-band circuit. In the years since the band sprang out of the University of Pennsylvania party scene in the mid-’90s, the Disco Biscuits have brought together the worlds of jam bands and electronic music with its “trance-fusion” sound that mixes the free-form improvisations of jazz with the hypnotic rhythms which provided the soundtrack for rave culture. In the process, the band has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase.

Underground hip-hop super-producer to some, virtuoso sample-based instrumentalist wizard to others, RJD2 embodies all of these things on his latest album, The Third Hand but placates none who seek more of the same.

Inspired by the cut-and-paste hip-hop and electronica of DJ Shadow, Scott Herren, otherwise known as Prefuse 73, has made a name for himself by composing beat-heavy songs that feature hard-to-place samples and smooth, almost R&B-esque melodies

The 1/24/09 show represented each act’s most successful and largest-drawing Chicago event to date.
