Disco Biscuits’ New Album: Planet Anthem
The Disco Biscuits are getting ready to release their long-awaited new album, Planet Anthem, which will be available March 16th. The album marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band. Since they formed in 1995, the guys created their own movement by fusing the jam band and electronic music scenes. However, their forthcoming release prominently features elements of pop, indie dance, hip hop, and straight up rock music. The Biscuits also collaborated for the first time with multiple producers, songwriters, and outside musicians, including Don Cheegro and Dirty Harry (Ludacris, Chris Brown, Beanie Sigel). The result is an album filled with sing along melodies and infectious beats.
The Biscuits will be hosting their even Bisco Inferno at Red Rocks on May 29th.

Piecebook Reloaded discussion
Piecebook Reloaded: Rare Graffiti Drawings, 1985-2005
Slide show and conversation with authors Sacha Jenkins and David Villorente and contributing artists Keo TC5 and Rab CAC
Piecebook Reloaded is a tribute to the work of New York City’s graffiti community in its most private form—the sketches and drawings that fill hundreds of piecebooks that make their way through some of the greatest artists in the community. Unlike the more controversial forms of graffiti, which are also acts of vandalism, the art of the piecebook breaks no laws and puts no one in harm’s way.
Sacha and David, longtime Brooklynites who are deeply connected to local street art culture, will host a talk with some of the artists, which will include a sideshow presentation of many of the pieces and the chance to get books signed by graffiti impresarios.
Love/Hate: A Collaborative Exhibition
We didn’t plan on coming across this. We just decided to hit up Chicago in the middle of the night a week ago or so and got an invitation from a friend. Love/Hate is a collaborative art installation by Revise CMW and CZR PRZ, two respected artists from Chicago. The exhibit was curated by Allison Glenn and hosted by TOJO Gallery. We’ve been running around and a little behind but we still wanted to post this pics. All the work was amazing. Good sounds and good people. Thank you!
