Here’s the latest update in the Biscuits’ “As Barber’s Wrist Turns” saga…
After careful deliberation, we have decided the best course of action for this weekend is to stick with the Mega-Biscuits line-up. Though Jon has started to play guitar again, we don’t want him to rush back into playing full shows and risk re-injuring his wrist so he will again have backup. We want to thank Chris and Tommy for making the last few weeks absolutely awesome! We will see you this weekend.
So expect to see RAQ’s Chris Michetti and Brothers Past/American Babies axe-slinger Tom Hamilton form a three-pronged attack with Barber this weekend when the Disco Biscuits perform at Papermill Island in Baldwinsville, NY on Friday [tix] and at the Wellmont in Montclair on Saturday [tix].
Here’s a quick look at what else is happening around the ‘nets…
- Blues & Lasers Celebrate Release of New Album
- Will He or Won’t He? Max Weinberg + Conan = ?
- Donald Fagen: From Steely to Shakedown Street
- Fans Can Be Grateful For The Dead’s Foresight

Finally, future University of Virginia professor Mark Edmundson wasn’t sure what he wanted to do when he graduated college in 1974 so he spent five years wandering around and doing odd jobs. His most memorable job during that period was working for a production company in Jersey City setting up concerts at Roosevelt Stadium. Edmundson recently penned an Op-Ed contribution to the New York Times that details a crazy night he had working with Pink Floyd which makes for an interesting read.
