Went to check these guys out on Saturday night in NYC - what a show! For those who don\'t know these guys, The JOIN consists of Darren Shearer and Jamie Shields from the New Deal, and for this show, featured Aron Magner and Mark Brownstein from the Disco Biscuits. Thus, as one can probably infer, the show was pretty dancy and electronic. There was a really nice mix of New Deal and Biscuits style, along with at least 1 original that was really tight. They had a great dynamic and put on a fantastic show. Even opened the show with a cover of a MSTRKRFT tune.... hot shit!
What really excited me, however, was the growing excitement for Camp Bisco. I was approached by a kid who I recognized from the NuGroove Festival last summer, at which the Breakfast played. I remember during "Rufus" this kid randomly came up to me with a huge smile on his face, and announced "this is my first Rufus!!!!" and scampered off. It was a cool moment. So here, 1 year later in NYC, this kid recognizes me and proclaims his excitement that the Breakfast will be playin Camp this year. It was really cool, it was really encouraging, and I think the Biscuits/Breakfast union is going to be a very synergistic one.
