TOUCHDOWNS ALL DAY w/ JON BARBER & MAX DAWSON.

E068 - JAMCEPTION 2 - Let's take this podcast for another spin! The Disco Biscuits have been prolific in the studio in 2024, having recorded seven (or is it nine?) new songs during the first half of the year. Four of those songs were debuted at Biscoland over the Fourth of July weekend: Another Spin, In the End We Have Forever, Better in Doses, and Trap Door. Max welcomes songwriter Joey Friedman back to the podcast to discuss the new songs, Biscoland, and everything else going on in the Biscuits' universe. Joey breaks down the jams that inspired the songs and shares the stories of the studio wizardry and creative collaboration that went into producing them. We also highlight the contributions of two great friends of the band (and pod), Alex Mazer of New Springfield Boogie and Scott McClintock of Think Tank Dubs.

E067 - Electric Forest 2024 - With Biscoland fast approaching, we're rolling back the band's electrifying performance at Electric Forest 2024. Barber gives Max the full lowdown on the set that ignited Sherwood Court, including the returns of Hide and Seek and O Fortuna, Magner's last-second decision to rearrange Boom, and the instrumental preview of the band's hotly-anticipated apocalyptic drum-and-bass banger, In The End We Have Forever. Along the way Barber spills the details on the seven (or is it nine?) new songs that the band and Joey have recently committed to tape. If you're not yet excited about the band's upcoming tour, you will be after you hear Barber describe how excited he and the rest of the band are to unleash some new gear and new songs on the fanbase this summer.

E066 - I Remember When w/Ted Kartzman and Andy Gadiel - In this episode we inaugurate “I Remember When,” a new segment commemorating some of the greatest moments in the Disco Biscuits’ history. We kick things off with the story of the band’s impromptu show on May 31, 1999, as recounted by the men who staged it: Ted Kartzman and Andy Gadiel.

Ted and Andy have been active members in the jamband community since before the term “jamband” was even in widespread use. Ted was originally a classmate of the Biscuits at the University of Pennsylvania. Andy was responsible for creating some of the first websites dedicated to jambands during the world wide web’s embryonic phase. Together they launched jambase.com, which since 1998 has served as a clearinghouse for information about live music and touring bands. But first and foremost, Ted and Andy are lifelong friends and fans of the Disco Biscuits who have been present for or participated in many of the most momentous episodes in the band’s history.

Ted and Andy walk us through the genesis of the online jamband community, their early experiences seeing the Biscuits, and the series of events leading up to their last-second decision to book the band into the tiny back room of their favorite Chicago bar. Ted and Andy were more than just eye witnesses on musical history; they were and remain catalysts and connectors dedicated to sharing their passion for live music with the world. As such, they have unique perspectives to share on the evolution of the Biscuits’ music and scene and the bubble of positivity that has enveloped the band during its current renaissance.

We all have our own histories with the Disco Biscuits, and Touchdowns All Day wants to hear your stories. If you have a memory of a specific show or tour that you’d like to share on the podcast, reach out and we might use it in a future installment of I Remember When. Share your story with Max on Instagram or X, of call the TDAD hotline, 424-666-SIYD, and make sure to leave your name and tell us where you're calling from!
