We're gettin' the band back together!

 

Biscuit is back! After several years of touring with Anthony Gomes, Biscuit

Miller put a band back together and is poised for prime time. Biscuit & The Mix took the stage at Harlem Avenue Lounge on this fun night, while I commandeered the most Northwest barstool. I first met Biscuit in an earlier pre-Gomes incarnation of the band at The Slippery Noodle in Indy. I sometimes take good music as a given, but even then his showmanship and charisma were memorable. Now years later, his smile is amped up a few more watts and his energy level is at buzz level.

 

So enough about the smiling stick of dynamite playing the bass, how about the band? Paxton Norris, Biscuits frequent partner is joined by another great young player Jordan Lunardini (I love that name). Paxton, Jordan and Biscuit reside in some Eastern suburbs of Chicago (Michigan and Indiana). These two young fret masters have set up their rigs and their playing to provide two distinct, but complimentary guitar voices. Given their turn, each comes up with interesting song supporting parts. Myron’s in the house. Veteran drummer Myron Robinson, with too much energy of his own, manages to keep this troupe very tight and on the one. Paxton Norris, Jordan Lunardini, Myron Robinson and Biscuit Miller all sing well, in solo or harmony. To close the final set, each showcased their instrumental talent and left the stage in turn. This left Biscuit alone for a final entertaining bass blessing.

 

Biscuit & the Mix are now on the road for a busy tour covering many of our United States. They are booked as late as February 2009 when they will join the Chubby Carrier Party Cruise. If you have the opportunity, check them out. If the venue allows, bring your camera and send in a copy of your best Biscuit picture. The man is so photogenic that  it’s difficult to get a bad picture of him. Peace.
