The Disco Biscuits are an American jam band from Philadelphia, formed in 1995 at the University of Pennsylvania. The band consists of Allen Aucoin on drums, Marc "Brownie" Brownstein on bass guitar and vocals, Jon "The Barber" Gutwillig on guitar and vocals, and Aron Magner on keyboards, synths, and vocals. They are known for blending elements from various genres, including electronic and rock, to create a unique sound often described as "trance fusion." This style combines the improvisational nature of live jam music with electronic elements, making them a standout in the jam band scene.
