Disco Risque

Disco Risqué spent the past ten years discovering its live sound across the country; high energy tunes, screaming guitar solos, fast drum and bass breaks, big horn and keys riffs…they’d found their style.  So in the summer of 2023 the band holed up to record what would become the defining recorded sound of Disco Risqué, an album known to the world now as Evil on Tape.

Recorded at Dave Matthews’ illustrious Haunted Hollow studios, Evil on Tape displays a total maturation of songwriting and arranging from the band.  Delivering 5 singles including a cover of Pink Floyd’s “Have A Cigar” the album showcases a moodier, more serious and arguably romantic side of the band that listeners have likely not seen or heard before.  You’ll still get a big chunk of the old school hairbrained progressive rock writes in songs like “Death Waltz” and “Ketamine Karate” but also a more focused serious side of the band with new singles like “Burnadetta” and the album’s eponymous single “Evil on Tape.”

However, not everything is new about Disco Risqué in 2024, you’ll still see the same familiar faces smiling down at you from the stage.  Charlie Murchie (guitar), Robert “Slim” Prescott (Drums), Ryan “Swimsuit” Calonder (vocals/trumpet), Andrew “The Champ” Hollifield (Bass), and Sean Hodge (Keys) ARE Disco Risqué, and they’re out there keeping the funky rock n roll dance party of America alive!  Keep your eyes peeled and your ear to the ground, cause they’re coming to a town near you!
