  • Disco Biscuits Share Part 2 of Space Rock Opera “Revolution in Motion”

    Disco Biscuits have shared part 2 of their Rock Opera set in space, Revolution in Motion. The four tracks follow the January release of Part 1, which included newer jam vehicles, “Another Plan of Attack” and “Twisted in the Road.”

    Revolution in Motion Part 2

    Revolution in Motion, Part 2, features songs “Times Square,” “Freeze,” “Tourists (Rocket Ship),” and “Spaga’s Last Stand,” all which have debuted by the Disco Biscuits since 2022 and become the basis for some of the band’s most exploratory work to date.

    The video companion to Part 2 picks up where Part 1 left off, where we saw aliens enter a wormhole while getting too ‘shocked’ brings them to our solar system, where the aliens descend towards New York City, setting their sites on Times Square – specifically, in front of Palladium Times Square at 7th Ave and 45th St., where the Disco Biscuits are performing.

    The aliens freeze all those outside waiting to get into the show, but with Disco Biscuits on stage deep underground, they are not frozen and come to the rescue, ascending the memorable escalator in the lobby of the Palladium theater. With the aliens planning to abduct the frozen humans for study, the Disco Biscuits confront the aliens, saving the day, but in the process of themselves being abducted onto the alien ship.

    Part 3 and 4 will released in March, as the band builds up to their album release show at Webster Hall on March 29.

    ! Revolution in Motion Album Release Show

  • Disco Biscuits offer First Installment of Upcoming Studio Album, “Revolution in Motion”

    After more than 18 months of introducing the songs to their loyal fans, the Disco Biscuits have released a seven-minute animated film, Revolution in Motion, Part 1, giving the first glimpse at their highly anticipated space rock opera.

    Due for release on March 29, Revolution in Motion is the ninth album from the trancefusion pioneers and will feature newer Biscuits songs “Freeze,” “Buy the Time,” “The Deal,” and “Times Square,” in addition to tracks that were released in conjunction with the video, “Shocked,” “The Wormhole,” “Twisted in the Road” and “Another Plan of Attack.”


    The animation tells the story of four aliens who embark on an interstellar journey, only to be thrown off course, into a wormhole, eventually ending up hovering above Times Square in mid-town Manhattan. With animation by Blunt Action, the video and audio combine to piece together the puzzle that has been created over a year and a half of song rollouts, many becoming fan-favorites and/or jam vehicles, while introducing viewers to Polyfuzia, Fuzzies, Space Trains and much more to come.

    Jambands.com notes that the initial concept came from guitarist Jon “The Barber” Gutwillig, who worked with friend and collaborator Joey Friedman in August 2021, and bringing in keyboardist Aron Magner to write “music aliens would love.”

    Part 2 of Revolution in Motion will be released on February 16. The Disco Biscuits embark on a Winter Tour this week in Nevada, and will be in New York in March. Full tour dates can be found below.
