Summer Camp Artist #47 – The Disco Biscuits

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

Here it is, THE LAST SUMMER CAMP ARTIST SERIES POST. Rocking in at #47 is the always danceable Disco Biscuits. Affectionally referred to as “Bisco” by many fans, the quartet arose in the mid-90’s at the University of Pennsylvania. If you’ve never seen Bisco, be sure to bring your dancin’ feet, since that’s the best reason to see these guys live. I’ve got a great live show for you today, it was my first Bisco show ever. Also attended by Justin from LiveMusicBlog.com, this was the opening show before the moe. show I posted last week. Make sure to check out Bisco’s website and befriend them on MySpace, then hit up this set.

Summer Camp Artist #46 – Garbage Mountain

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Summer Camp Artist #46 is Garbage Mountain. They’re a quartet out of Chicago, IL. I like them because the tagline on their MySpace page is “Can I get a beef….dry…with sum hot peppers?” You should like them because they can jam. Check out this show from a couple months ago at Chicago’s own Kinetic Playground, and see for yourself. Of course, only after you check out the band’s website and befriend them on MySpace.

Summer Camp Artist #43 – Elsinore

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Summer Camp Artist #43 is another personal favorite of mine, Champaign-Urbana’s very own Elsinore. A quartet with a new release out last month, they’re easily on of my favorite new music finds this year. I’ve got a few tracks to share with you, and don’t forget to check out their website and befriend them on MySpace. I’ll be back sometime this summer with a bunch more on Elsinore, and hopefully some samples from their new album as well. Stay tuned.

From 2005’s On Display: A Live CD:

Elsinore – Vampire In My Town
Elsinore – The Rise
Elsinore – Carolina

Summer Camp Artist #42 – Vince Herman

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Summer Camp Artist #42 is Vince Herman (frontman/founder of Leftover Salmon), and he’s also the Master of Ceremonies for Summer Camp 2006. That basically means he’s the MC on the main stage, and might even play a set or two over the course of the weekend. I’ve got a big hint for you though… if you’re a big Vince or Leftover Salmon fan, ****GO TO THE CAMPFIRES EACH NIGHT****. That’s all I have to say. Check out the man’s website and listen to all of these tracks, since they’re all pretty good.
