Did Barber Buy an Idol From Bobby Brady?

This morning, The Internet was buzzing with rumors of a hospital trip for the Disco Biscuits guitarist Jon Gutwillig after last night’s show. Barber addressed the rumors with a posting on his Facebook…

tDB bassist Marc Brownstein has just confirmed the news with an update on his Twitter account that explains that the shows will go on despite Gutwillig’s injury with special guests and references the Triscuits shows that took place when Brownie left the band in 2000…

What we at Hidden Track want to know is, did somebody really pre-order the $100 guided tour of the Air Ducts at the Electric Factory?

Barber broke his wrist after a show at the Electric Factory in 2002 that derailed the band’s momentum for a while. While obviously a show without Barber isn’t the best case scenario, we’re glad to see this weekend’s shows might go on as planned especially since Sunday’s Bisco Power Mission is a benefit for a righteous cause. We’ll update this post with more information as it becomes available. Tonight’s show takes place at the HOB in Boston.

UPDATE: Hidden Track will live blog tonight’s show to keep you up-to-date with all the details of what is sure to be a very unique show.

UPDATE [3PM]: Brownie’s Twitter confirms Sunday’s show will go on. No confirmation about tomorrow’s show in Montclair yet.

UPDATE [4:50PM]: Here’s the official word from the Biscuits…

Last night following the show Jon Gutwillig injured his wrist in an accident. He received immediate medical attention and it was determined that he would need surgery to which he is having this afternoon in New York. Though we expect a speedy recovery, we will need to make the following adjustments to our 5 upcoming shows this weekend:

1. Tonight’s show in Boston WILL take place. Though Jon will not be there, we plan on still rocking out with everyone at the House of Blues. Expect a big party tonight in Boston with special guests and lots of musical treats. Since the band is not at full strength, we are making tonight’s show a free show. Refunds will be available for any ticket purchaser at point of purchase. If you used cash to purchase your tickets, remember to hold onto your ticket stub. PLEASE NOTE YOU WILL NEED TO SHOW YOUR TICKET TO GET INTO TONIGHT’S SHOW BUT YOU WILL STILL BE REFUNDED.

2. Tomorrow night’s show at the Wellmont Theatre is postponed. Because of the circumstances, we though it would be best to do this show later this spring. Details to be announced soon.

3. The Brooklyn Bowl show WILL take place on Sunday. Tom Hamilton is going to fill in for Jon and we are going to make it an extra special night to celebrate the launch of BPM.

4. We will be performing at Ultra Music Festival. We will have an
announcement of the lineup for that show next week.

5. The Tractorbeam show will also go ahead as planned. We will have an announcement of the lineup for that show next week.

UPDATE: [5:21PM] Sources close to the band confirm Chris Michetti will be one of the guest musicians joining the Disco Biscuits tonight.
