Oh lovely; I adore writing about music festivals that I won’t be attending. At least Camp Bisco 6 looks like it will feature primarily electronica — a fact that will make both my future absence less painful (not really my thing), and prep those of you who are into that for some nail-biting, particularly once I get into the line up.

Taking place in Mariaville, NY from August 16-18, Camp Bisco 6 will feature a solid list of electronica/hip hop/rock heavy-hitters, including Girl Talk, Amon Tobin, the Bays, Shpongle, Bustle in Your Hedgerow, Lyrics Born and Hallucinogen: In Dub’s first ever U.S. performance. In following with the eco-concert trend, the event will be powered by 100% renewable energy, and will be attended by our friends Conscious Alliance, who will once again be collecting food in exchange for a Rob Pea limited-edition poster.

You can grab a ticket here for way less than what I threw down for Coachella, then hang out for three nights in a place that, incidently enough, sounds a whole lot prettier than Coachella. Yep, still not my thing, but I know some people who are awaiting this concert with the furor of the second coming, so have fun… hippies. Kidding! Kidding. Kind of. Sort of. (Not really.)

The Disco Biscuits aren’t really electronica… they’re what I think they call “space jam” — something like that. They’re sort of a spaced out version of the jam band sound. If you like String Cheese Incident, give Bisco a listen.

I can’t vouch for the other bands at the festival, though (well, Umphrey’s McGee is great — and rock/jam, and Lyrics Born is also great — and hip-hop). ;)

umm, you obviously shouldn’t be writing about this. you didnt even mention sts9 who is basically co headlining this year and you said have fun hippies. if you knew anything about whats going down next week you would know its not going to be attended by hippies. ignorance is bliss though

no, it is you that does not know. I am a hippy, I love the dead, I love phish, and I love the biscuits and most bands that were there. Open your mind, e-tard.
