The Disco Biscuits, Bern Gallery Smoke Shop in Burlington, Thursday, November 20:
Cannabis culture and the jam-band scene have always been intertwined — and the connection is stronger than ever since Vermont legalized recreational use. Exhibit A: Aquatic Ape, a live hash-rosin vape cartridge produced by Burlington’s Bern Legacy in collaboration with the prolific Philadelphia EDM/jam band the Disco Biscuits. The name derives from a song written by bassist and cofounder Marc Brownstein and pertains to the strain of cannabis used: GG4, aka Gorilla Glue. On a Thursday afternoon in late November, bookended by the band’s two-night run at South Burlington’s Higher Ground Ballroom, Brownstein, keyboardist Aron Magner and drummer Marlon B. Lewis visited Bern Gallery Smoke Shop to celebrate the collab with fans. While attendees left the photo op with signed posters and huge smiles, band members left with bags filled with product. After that haul, I’m sure a very good second night was had by all, onstage and off.
