Just when I thought The Disco Biscuits couldn’t give me any more reasons to hate them, here comes another bag of dicks thinking he’s too cool for fucking school to play.
What a turd.
Wow Marc…
About 1999 was when I stopped caring what the Disco Biscuits played…
Have fun playing your 5000 person festies and shitty ballrooms for the rest of your careers…

“Nice Brownstein. You obviously care enough for your band to coattail a paycheck with your Virginia run leading into the Hampton shows. Douche.”
hahaha. I like Disco Bisco and all, but this was pretty funny!
Brwonstein – Ummm… your band is playing a warm up show, is model led after phish and the only reason you have a career is cause you were there when they took a hiatus?
I think it would be more accurate to say that you had to stop listening to them so you had some basis for not being a total rip-off. Jack Ass.
