I have traditionally been a fan of the mellower jam bands such as Furthur, Phish and String Cheese Incident, so it was a step out on a limb for me to see the band Conspirator. The band is led by Marc Brownstein and Aaron Magner from the Disco Biscuits. The band Conspirator features an electronic vibe, that was slightly reminiscent of the heavy dance sections of an Umphrey's Mcgee show. The band was playing at Toads Place, a small bar venue in the college town of Yale, New Haven, CT. The capacity is maximum of about a hundred fifty people so the shows are always intimate. Brownstein led the band with ripping energetic bass-lines while the guitarist lit up the room with shredding. The show was great and I would definitely see Conspirator again. After years of hating on the Disco Biscuits, I am hoping to see them for the first time, Thanks for a great show Brownie.
