The Disco Biscuits played their first New Year’s Eve outside the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia area last night. The show took place at Chicago’s pristine Auditorium Theatre with special guests Alpha Data and Future Rock. Throughout their three-set performance, the Disco Biscuits completed a few of the songs they started earlier in the run, including Pink Floyd’s “Run Like Hell” (which the group started on December 30), “Confrontation” (which the band started on December 28) and “Morph Dusseldorf” (which the Biscuits offered on December 30).

Like the other nights of group’s New Year’s Run, the Biscuits peppered their setlists with some older songs like “Little Betty Boop,” the above-mentioned “Morph Dusseldorf” and “Vassillios.” With the exception of “Jamillia” and “Awol’s Blues,” which has been on ice since 2004, the band played every song off their classic 1998 album Uncivilized Area during the five-show run. Last night’s gig also included only the second “My Lady Survives” since 1998 (the band busted out the classic ‘90s Biscuit tune in New York on December 28).

As they have every New Year’s since 1998 with the exception of 2002 and 2003, the Disco Biscuits performed “Helicopters,” this time at the stroke of midnight with their now traditional “happy New Year” lyrical rearrangement. The show came to a close late in the night with “Highwire.” With the exception of their Holidaze and Camp Bisco events, the Disco Biscuits currently have no shows confirmed.
